AMD Polaris lives on and brings life to the RX 600 Series for laptops

Listed on the AMD website are the RX 600 Series, graphics cards developed for entry-level laptops at a very reasonable price.

With the launch of the new AMD RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT Navi architecture no one remembers the Polaris anymore. Lisa Su said that Navi would arrive for the high-end and possibly also for the entry-level. Meanwhile the company has launched the Radeon RX 600 based on Polaris architecture. Look no further, as these GCN 4 charts are intended for modest portal teams.

Polaris for gaming, better known as RX 500 Series remain in the market for the low-end. They have remained as very low-cost solutions for users who want 1080p quality and little else. Vega has been a failure and that is why it has been discontinued.

AMD Launches RX 600 Series… For Laptops

The company has listed on its website the AMD RX 640, RX 630, RX 625, RX 620 and RX 610. They seem to be very low-cost solutions to be combined with simple processors, such as Intel Pentium. This move is quite strange, as Ryzen APUs with Vega graphics are already a great solution for portals.

We must bear in mind that they could also be integrated into low-power embedded systems. Perhaps for the Chinese market, an emerging market where there are many Internet cafes, they could be an interesting solution. We do not have much more data either, since it has not been presented by AMD, it has been listed directly.

We are struck by the AMD RX 630, which offers 1.25TFLOPS of power, which is the same power as the RX 550. Obviously these graphics cards will not have a desktop version, since with the Ryzen APUs it is more than enough. Who wants more economical solutions are the Athlon GE.
