VentureBeat has an interview with AMD

http://venturebeat.com/2016/01/15/amds-graphics-guru-describes-the-march-to-full-graphics-immersion-with-16k-screens/

 

It's mostly PR talk and the only thing worth noting is that there are two versions of Polaris: Polaris 10 and Polaris 11. The article doesn't describe the differences between them but we can speculate, right?

My guess is that one is the GloFo chip and the other is the Samsung one and its biggest difference will be the performance vs efficiency. What I think AMD will do is use the most efficient chips in their low end cards so they can sell them in laptops and such, and use their less efficient but better performing ones as  their mid to high end cards. And that's because gamers aren't affraid of choosing a card that uses a bit more power if the performance gains are there too.
