How can AMD blame their partners for not being clear on labelling, after AMD's own website was quietly changed with no reference to the different configurations.
Surely if AMD "just" wanted to introduce more 5-series cards they could have called this the 555 or something.
I guess they're hoping to release a 660 at some time and then say "wow, look at the improvement over the previous (nerfed) 560".
Sounds potentially very interesting. Perhaps more than just smaller pixels (which are already retina-tiny and still getting smaller), if they can recreate the entire visible spectrum per pixel, that potentially results in "perfect" colour accuracy, rather than relying on mixing RGB colours - e.g. currently Yellow is made from Red + Green pixels. Could bring a whole new level of realism to display screens, even more than OLED and HDR. May even improve power efficiency over OLED etc, lighting one pixel rather than 2 or 3.

Current displays do still use subpixels, they're just smaller so harder to see - e.g. read this - https://support.apple.com/el-g...
