notb But what's the point of wasting precious 7nm on such a low-end GPU?



This is very likely an RX560 replacement. RX560 is an acceptable entry-level gaming chip and fits in PCIe's 75W power budget.

There's really no reason to go Navi in this segment.

What if we said things like this about Nvidia's low end cards? That they should just use Maxwell since there's no point in using the best tech. Clearly AMD is going to have some scavenged chips with more failures in stream processors than what the 5700 allows. That would be pretty fertile land to cut out a lower chip in the meantime. And it would therefore not be a waste of the chips as they're probably unusable right now anyway.7 nm allowed AMD to create chips that finally are as power efficient as Nvidia. If they put out a low end chip that performs notably worse at the same TDP now, and in the 5xxx line, it's going to cheapen the new line and probably do nothing for the desirability of the rebranded chip.I am so sick of AMD rebrands. They finally have good tech and process and people like you just want more and more rebrands to "save money." AMD should just stick to 600 series for their rebrand crap and leave the new product line for the new technology.
