With everyone caught up with the upcoming release of Radeon RX Vega cards, AMD is seemingly not yet done with the surprises.

Sources claim that the company would release a new Radeon RX 500 Series of graphics card this year with April as its target month. The graphic card would allegedly be based on AMP Polaris graphics chip architecture. However, it would be greatly improved in terms of the function that it could give. This debunks the rumor that the said advancement would be just like the latest Vega design.

According to Digital Trends, the upcoming enhancement is relevant as its design would be based on a different manufacturing process described as the low power plus. The series cards would be based on 14nm low power early FinFET-based processing technology. The said process is ideal as it enables superior performance without increasing its power through time.

AMD could try to release the card in the market this April and tag it as an affordable remedy for PC improvement to support a high-quality gaming experience. The Radeon RX 580 would be readily available for $200 while the RX 570 and the RX 560 would be sold at $150 and $100 respectively. Experts say that its price would somewhat be equal to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 10.

Meanwhile, there are reports that the upcoming Vega cards will be in notebooks real soon. Wccftech cited that this has been confirmed already by Scott Herkelman. However, he did not provide any detailed information about the Radeon RX Vega cards.
