AMD to rebrand RX 460 stock into RX 560D in Chinese market

Rumors are spreading in Asia that AMD is going to launch a Radeon RX 560D video card. As reported by VideoCardz, AMD is sitting on a relatively high volume of RX 460 GPUs. The company plans to sell these parts by rebranding them to Radeon RX 560D. These cards will have 896 stream processors, while the regular RX 560 cards have 1024 stream processors.

AMD is sitting on a relatively high volume of RX 460 cards, which will soon be upgraded to Radeon RX 560D. With a simple BIOS modification, these cards will be rebranded to RX 500 series. More importantly, the RX 560D cards will still feature 896 Stream Processors, so just as many as RX 460. The rebranding seems to only be a marketing choice by AMD, a choice that will only affect Chinese market because we are unlikely to see these cards elsewhere. AMD has not confirmed what clock speeds would these cards receive.

The Radeon RX 560D is expected to ship in China later this month.
