AMD is apparently working on a new graphics card that should be based on Polaris 10 Ellesmere GPU and fit between the Radeon RX 460 and Radeon RX 470, in order to better compete with Nvidia's recently launched GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1050 graphics cards.

According to Videocardz.com, such graphics card could end up with the RX 465 or RX 470 SE name and could be a further cut-down version of the Polaris 10 GPU, hitting a TDP of below 100W.

The chip could end up with 28 Compute Units (CUs) which make up 1792 Stream Processors. According to further details, AMD could leave the memory interface intact, which means it will end up with 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit memory interface, adding up to 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Such graphics card could easily compete with the GTX 1050 Ti and leave AMD a bit more breathing room in that market segment.

Chiphell.com managed to get its hands on a sample with 1792 Stream Processors, which is about 11 percent slower than the RX 470 in FireStrike Extreme and 11.7 percent slower in Time Spy benchmark. Such performance suggest that it should outperform the GTX 1050 Ti.

There is also word on a different SKU, which will be a further cut-down version, packing 24 Compute Units (CUs) or 1536 Stream Processors, which could more effectively compete with the GTX 1050.

The same source suggest that AMD could launch the new graphics card at slightly higher price than the GTX 1050 Ti but that all depends on the actual performance.
