It is not clear how many or what kinds of cards we can expect to see on the August 4th and August 8th release days though it would stand to reason that they will be mostly based upon reference designs especially for the RX 460 (though Gamer's Nexus did spot a dual fan Sapphire card). The RX 470 will be on sale and will have reviews on August 4th, with the RX 460 following that on August 8th, so we'll have details and costs in our hands very soon. Based on 1,432,259 user benchmarks for the AMD RX 460 and the Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB, we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 701 GPUs. AMD is still shying away from telling us that important data point.

There is still much to learn about these new products, most importantly, prices. The chart below outlines the comparison between the three known Polaris graphics processors. The RX 460 GPU will be used in desktop cards as well as notebooks (though with lower TDPs and clocks). The RX 460 is the third Polaris based 14 nm graphics card released by AMD this year, it follows the 470 and 480 ). The TDP of this card is sub-75 watts and thus we should find cards that don't require any kind of external power. The memory system is actually running faster on the RX 460 than the RX 470, though with half the memory bus width at 128-bits.

Based on the smaller Polaris 11 GPU, which is a new chip that we have not seen before, the RX 460 features up to 2.2 TFLOPS of computing capability with 896 stream processors (14 CUs enabled out of 16 total in full Polaris 11) running between 1090 MHz and 1200 MHz.
