AMD Radeon RX 570 latest news: AMD's next-generation graphics card spotted at Samsung's booth during CES 2017
AMD has been very quiet about their upcoming Radeon RX 500 series graphics cards, but that has not stopped its partners from subtly announcing that they are equipping their newest products with AMD's new GPUs. In fact, the Radeon RX 570 was recently revealed to be featured in Samsung's new Odyssey notebook series at CES 2017.
A Reddit user who saw the Odyssey notebook's specs in the Samsung booth at CES 2017 shared that the Radeon RX 570 is indicated in the notebook's graphics specs section. The notebook will alternatively feature the NVIDIA GTX 1070, which hints that the upcoming AMD chip will possess more or less the same power as its competition.
Aside from this, the listed features of the notebooks include a 4 GB or an 8 GB memory. The gadget will be powered by a seventh-generation Intel Core processor, and it will contain a 64 GB DDR4 memory. The Odyssey notebook will also sport a 17.3-inch full HD display screen.
No new information has been divulged by AMD that may confirm or deny the CES 2017 leak about the AMD Radeon RX 570. However, an AMD representative, according to iTech Post, has confirmed that the AMD Radeon RX 570 chip is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of the RX 470. This means that the entire AMD Radeon RX 500 series is an OEM rebrand of its previous 400 series.
This leak during the CES 2017 event is not the first time that a Radeon RX 500 GPU was deliberately or inadvertently revealed by one of AMD's business partners. It was recently reported that an advertisement from Lenovo leaked the existence of the AMD RX 560 M when the graphics card itself has not even been launched yet.
Similar to Samsung's reveal about the AMD Radeon RX 570, the information on Lenovo's Y520 graphics card section showed that the RX 560M will be its next-generation GPU.
These recent revelations have led to widespread speculation that the AMD Radeon RX 500 lineup will finally be unveiled sometime this year.
