Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) might be planning to bring in new series of Polaris GPUs as indicated in the leaks of latest MacOS drivers. The leaks are found with AMD GCN Polaris 12, Polaris 10 XT2 and Vega 10 GPUs, out of which the first two GPUs were spotted in MacOS drivers.

According to WCCftech, AMD Polaris 12 and Polaris 10 XT2 are the two new chips that AMD has never declared or made some official announcement. Though, Vega 10 is not a surprising one, as everything is known about the chip.

Starting with the AMD Polaris 12 GPU, it is reported that Polaris 12 naming scheme is mainly because it is designed after Polaris 11. The new GPU should not be misunderstood of being more powerful than the Polaris 11, as seen earlier Polaris 10 has higher performance than the Polaris 11.

It is reported that AMD plans of preparing new chips close to Vega launch and that is only because of new Radeon family, Polaris 12 and other chips designed before Vega is reported to be aiming the mainstream section and Vega will be covering the high-end section for AMD soon (1H 2017).

AMD Polaris 10 XT2 GPU, is reported to be a new revision designed for the Polaris 10 featuring higher clock speeds and higher efficiency, as XT2 moniker is used for enhanced GPU revisions. Polaris 10 XT2 is expected to be  a higher performance chip with the same number of cores. This chip could be offered in either the Radeon 400 series or Radeon 500 series.

AMD Vega 10 is expected to feature up to 4096 stream processors based on a new GCN uARCH (GFX9) with as much as 24 TFLOPs of half-precision and 12 TFLOPs of single precision compute performance. Also, a 16 GB of HBM2 that is clocked to operate at 512 GB/s and the chip is rated with 225W TDP. AMD Vega 10 is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2017.

We now know that Vega 10 can feature up to 4096 stream processors based on a new GCN uARCH (GFX9). The chip has as much as 24 TFLOPs of half-precision and 12 TFLOPs of single precision compute performance. The chip also features up to 16 GB of HBM2 that is clocked to operate at 512 GB/s. The cards based on this chip are rated with 225W TDP.

It is highly anticipated that AMD will bring up some information related to the leaked Polaris 12, Polaris 10 XT2 and Vega 10 GPUs in the AMD's New Horizon Event.
