This evening – or rather this morning in China – AMD is rolling out a new mid-to-entry level Radeon RX video card. Dubbed the Radeon RX 560 XT, the new part is a lower-tier Polaris 10-based card that’s designed to fill the gap between the RX 560 and the RX 570 in the Chinese market. This new SKU will only be sold in China – don’t expect to see it come to North America – with AMD’s close partner Sapphire being the sole vender of the card.

By the numbers, the Radeon RX 560 XT is a relatively straightforward cutting down of the Radeon RX 570, itself a cut-down Polaris 10 SKU. Relative to the 570, the 560 XT drops another 4 CUs, bringing it down to 28 CUs. Past that, the clockspeeds have also taken a hit; the 560 XT will top out at just 1073MHz for the boost clock, instead of 1244MHz like its fuller-fledged 570 sibling. So for shader and texture performance, it will deliver around 75% of the throughput of the RX 570.
