650mh/s with 72 DDR3 memory? Its Simply Nonsense, and I tell u why:
So what we know is the RX 580 has 192Gb/s bandwidth and able to perform ~30mh/s
Well if we choose the best DDR3 memory with 1866Mhz (1866000000 Hz) then we can calculate 1 ddr3 memo chips's bandwidth. It's has a 64bit lane so 1866000000*64*8/1024/1024/1024=14.9 GB/s this is 1 DDr3 memo chip's bandwidth.
14.9*72=1074 Gb/s this is the total memory bandwidth with 72 ddr3 chip. So 1074/192*30=~168 Mh/s this could be the maximum eth mining performance with 72 ddr3 chips. Everything else is bullshit.  Wink


Well, you've got the right idea but the wrong numbers.  Rx 580 @2Ghz has 256GB/s of bandwidth not 192 (R9 380 @1.5Ghz has 192).  ddr3 is available in x8 and x16, and since x16 has twice the bandwidth, that's likely what Bitmain will use.  Going with those numbers I come up with 250-300Mh/s.
