When talking about this level of gaming (When some cards need a 6 pin or not), doesn't get talked about enough. I mean, that's a pretty big difference.

They are officially Polaris 20 xtr even have their own chip codes labelled on the chip substrate, HIS also uses XTR in name for the SKU. It's 580 XTR

Polaris 20 XTX
(215-0910038)

Polaris 20 XTR
(215-0910066)

not all 7870s had XT in name either

GIGABYTE AORUS RX 580 XTR
HIS RX 580 XTR IceQ X2 Roaring Turbo
Labeling the die after binning is a common practice - look at Nvidia's Turing 'A' chips, that are still (correctly) sold under the same marketing names as their non-A siblings, just with an 'OC' or other indicator of higher performance tacked on to the name. That two OEMs share a semi-generic jumble of letters to designate a roughly matching but vague set of criteria is common as well.

As for the separate identifier, I guess that puts the lie to Gigabyte's claim of a bespoke binning process, as that's a clear sign of AMD doing the binning. I still wouldn't chalk up the new ID to anything more than binning, though - it still has identical specs to the base Polaris 20 XTX (boost clocks are determined per SKU, and AMD doesn't publish any specs for an XTR die), and again, the difference is no bigger than Nvidia's TUXXX-A chips.

Update: AMD has informed us that the RX 560 XT is based on the 14 nm "Polaris 10" silicon, and not "Polaris 20" or "Polaris 30." Polaris 10 is the first implementation of the "Polaris" architecture.
So maybe RX 470 leftovers from mining?

It's a 470D I just don't have a device id to pin it yet
Yeah, specs are identical to the 470D. Same memory clock even.

Frankly, I'd be pretty happy if the RX 600 series (if they keep that naming scheme) consisted of Navi cards from RX 670 and upwards, with RX 660 and below being rebranded Polaris 10/20/30 cards (obviously at more reasonable clocks than currently to keep power draw in check). This has been done extensively in the past by both AMD and Nvidia, and it's a great tactic for providing serious performance increases at lower price points. A ~$120 Polaris 10/20 RX 660 with RX 480-ish specs would be an epic budget card, and would sell like hotcakes even if draws 150W. Of course this is pure speculation, but it would be quite nice to see.
