Thanks to a leaked CompuBench results, we now have a bit more details regarding AMD's upcoming Polaris and Vega GPUs, including a rumored number of Stream Processors.

Thanks to leaked CompuBench scores, spotted by Videocardz.com site, which compiled a neat list details, the Polaris 11 GPU, which should replace current Pitcairn/Curacao GPUs, apparently has 16 Compute Units (CUs). Assuming that the Graphics Core Next 4.0 architecture, which Polaris is based on, has 64 stream processors per CU, this SKU will end up with 1024 Stream Processors.

Bear in mind that there will be a couple of SKUs based on that same GPU so there might be a couple of different versions of that GPU. The Polaris 11 GPU is also expected to pack up to 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.

Bear in mind that there will probably be several different SKUs so this just might be the one of those SKUs.

If that is true, the Polaris 10 GPU, codename Ellesmere, which should replace current Tonga GPU, could end up with over 2304 Stream Processor, or 36 CUs. It should pack up to 8GB of GDDR5(x) memory, probably with a 256-bit memory interface.

The flagship GPU, Vega 10, which should replace AMD's Fiji GPUs, could end up with up to 16GB of 2nd generation High Bandwidth Memory and pack up to 4096 Stream Processors, or 64 CUs.

The Vega 10 GPU, with HBM2, is expected early next year while Polaris 11 and Polaris 10 GPUs could be launch as early as middle of this year, most likely around Computex 2016 show in June.

AMD has already promised great things for Polaris GPU architecture including a 2.5x performance-per-Watt increase, which will be quite impressive. Based on the new FinFET manufacturing process, these will have much higher transistor density and we are quite sure they will be quite efficient.

Hopefully we will hear more details as we draw closer to Computex 2016 show in June.
