AMD Radeon RX 470 and RX 460 Official Specifications Leaked
The official specifications of two the two upcoming mainstream graphics cards by AMD, the Radeon RX 470, and the Radeon RX 460, were leaked to the web as slides from the company's official press presentation ahead of their early-August product launches. The RX 470 is based on the same "Ellesmere" Polaris10 silicon as the RX 480. It features 2,048 stream processors across 32 GCN compute units; 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface.
The RX 470 features clock speeds of 926 MHz core, 1206 MHz boost, and 6.6 Gbps memory, working out to 211 GB/s memory bandwidth. The RX 460, on the other hand, is based on the "Baffin" Polaris11 silicon, featuring 896 stream processors, 48 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. Its core is clocked at 1090 MHz, with 1200 MHz boost, and 7 Gbps memory, working out to 112 GB/s memory bandwidth. The RX 470 draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector as its TDP is rated at 120W; the RX 460 relies entirely on the PCIe slot for its power, as its TDP is rated at <75W. The RX 470 will be available from 4th August, 2016; with the RX 460 following on 8th August.

Even with the higher Boost the R7 370 received, the 270 is to me the better one to compare to. The R7 370 (Trinidad PRO) must of had some production "mojo" as they up the clocks, all while reducing the TDP from the R9 270's 150W to 110W.While I'd believe the 460 will be faster I don't see it as the offering enough rungs up the ladder to see huge seat of the pants difference. Cards like nicer 750Ti/260X where "entry" 1080p, I'd say a 460 will end up generally sparing with the GTX 950. If the 950 was enough of a bump to justify the move a couple of months back you would've, this isn't really effecting that any differently, even now with prices dropping huge on those. A 470 will work more up to what Uber 960's / 380 offered. I see that as providing a good 4-5 rungs up, a prodigious jump into 1080p. If you're hoping to hold out with some low-Watt OEM PSU, don't just go find a nicer 80+ that's ~400W and stop the insanity.
People seem to forget that these new polaris cards require high end cpu's to score such high numbers in Doom using the Vulkan API.
According to the Steam hardware survey of last month, 47% still uses an intel dual core cpu and barely over 3% has a cpu clocked higher than 3.7 ghz.
I've posted this screenshot before but people can't overlook this.
There's 4 FPS difference between all 3 cpu's with the 1060 and there's 50!!!! fps difference with the RX 480.
The 460 and 470 are budget gpu's and they will most likely be paired with older or budget cpu's.

Rx 460 is based on polaris 11 which is more power efficient than polaris 10
And performance of 460 is clearly faster than gtx 750 ti
When the RX480 was announced at 150W, a lot of ppl assumed (myself included) it will actually be at 110-120W during gaming load. And we all know how that turned out.
The 470 uses 70% as much energy for 85% the performance of the 480. This is because the 14nm process is still maturing and so bigger dies are not getting efficient yields yet.
Hopefully some other sites will see that and investigate this to add more validation to this if its true or not.
The good old QX6850 can do well in some recent games, but again, they only used Nvidia card.
But to be honest, if you are going for a gpu aimed at 1080p high/ultra setting there is a small problem if you still have a 2009 cpu (and dual core at that). A recent core i3 can even outperform a 1st gen core i5 in other task than gaming. And some games won't even start if you don't have a at least 4 virtual core. A core i3 and a entry level motherboard only cost 150$.
Those cards are slapping 3dFX's VooDoo3 in the face!
