This a summary of both articles:
Industry sources revealed to TechPowerUp that AMD is preparing a performance-segment GPU and a mainstream one. It turns out, that the performance-segment chip, which the press has been referring to as "Ellesmere" or Polaris 10, could feature 32 compute units (CUs), and not the previously thought 40.
IF the number of Stream Processors per Compute Units hasn't changed and remain at 64, that means that Polaris 10 will have 2,048 SPs.
Polaris 10 is said to offer 5.5 TFLOPs of single precision computing performance, above the 5.2 TFLOP/s of "Hawaii", so it means that Polaris 10 is clocked at around 1350 MHz. The new chip has a TDP rated no higher than 150W, a 256-bit wide GDDR5/GDDR5X memory interface, and 8 GB could be its standard memory amount. The first SKUs based on this chip could feature 7 Gbps GDDR5 memory.
Polaris 11 aka Baffin is said to feature just 14 CUs, which translates into 896 Stream Processors. This GPU would offer 2.5 TFLOPs performance, which means clock speed at around 1395 MHz. Its TDP is rated at just 50W, and it is expected to feature a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory.
AMD will upgrade the feature-set to include HVEC/H.265 hardware encode/decode acceleration, DisplayPort 1.3, and HDMI 2.0a outputs.
