Take it with a grain of salt but WCCF Tech claims they received some details about AMD's future graphics cards from a credible source. Expected to be called the Radeon RX 500 series, this lineup is still several months away from launch so some details are still subject to change.

If the site's source is correct, the Radeon RX 500 will consist not only of new Vega 10 and Vega 11 GPUs, but also some recycled Polaris cores.

In a nutshell, the high-end enthusiast cards are expected to feature Vega 10, a 14nm chip that will likely get 8GB HBM2 with a total bandwidth of 409.6GB/s, which is lower than the 512GB/s found on the Fury X card.

Vega 11 is the chip for the mainstream cards and may see GDDR5X memory or perhaps a single-stack of HBM2.

Next the site also claims we'll see a return of Polaris for entry-level cards. These may be rebrands or more efficient versions of current cores.
