No, it's the same chip, just different clocks. This is nothing new or out of the ordinary.

- sp332 10y agoThe new chips are on a 14nm process. They might have a similar architecture but there's room for higher clock speeds according to AMD. Ars Technica said they expect partner cards to have higher performance than the reference numbers AMD gave out.
- floatboth 10y agoThe 480 was 14nm as well. It's literally the exact same thing, same process. New default clock/voltage, new model number. The process did improve over time, sure, but a late 480 is pretty much the same as a 580.
- sp332 10y agoOh, I misread. They said it's an improved process, but I guess it's at the same node as the last one.
- npunt 10y agoA process can be drastically better while being on the same node - e.g adding FinFet or other technologies. Meanwhile everyone uses different measures of node size such that they're not comparable across fabs and are kind of marketing numbers these days.
