Tweaktown isn't as bad as wccftech, but it's not the most credible site either.

I found TweakTown's article: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/54433/amd-improved-radeon-rx-480-50-better-perf-watt/index.html

Funnily enough, that article also lacks proper sources and says the opposite thing of the wccftech one. TweakTown claims that AMD will use these improvements on the desktop cards (the 480 more specifically) while Wccftech claims that AMD will use the improved efficiency on their embedded products first.

I don't really believe any of those rumors.

Well, we do know that AMD's naming./numbering scheme for Polaris does allow for hardware revisions. So maybe these will be sold as 465, 475, and 485.

I can see AMD launching xx5 revisions as they showed in that slide explaining the naming of the new cards. What I don't believe is the 50% improvement claimed by those sites.

Up to 15, maybe 20% by next year as the process gets more mature and refined could be, but a 50% improvement in only 4 months since the 480 launched? No way.
