AMD Radeon RX 580 (32 CU) vs GIGABYTE Radeon RX 570 Gaming 8G (rev. 2.0)

Comparison of GPU cores for AMD Radeon RX 580 (32 CU) and GIGABYTE Radeon RX 570 Gaming 8G (rev. 2.0) graphics cards. The GPU core data contains the number of blocks (in the AMD documentation these blocks are called Shader Engine (SE), while Nvidia calls them Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC), words are different, the essence is the same) and ROP/TMUs (Raster Processing Units). These characteristics have a great influence on the GPU computing power.
