AMD to Unveil Radeon RX 5500 XT and RX 5600 Series in December
AMD is expected to bolster its mid-thru-performance segments of graphics cards with a few new product announcements in December. To begin with, the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which maxes out the 24 RDNA compute units on the "Navi 14" silicon, could see an early-December announcement, possibly ahead of the mid-December release of the RX 5500 to the AIB (add-in board) retail channel. Next up, is the new RX 5600 series, which enables AMD to capture $200-$300 price-points, competing with the likes of the GeForce GTX 1660 Super and GTX 1660 Ti.
There's no word on how what silicon the RX 5600 series is based on, but VideoCardz reports that the series topping RX 5600 XT has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit wide memory interface. We expect that the RX 5600-series will carved out of the "Navi 10" silicon by disabling many RDNA compute units and narrowing its memory bus. Given that the RX 5500 XT has 1,536 stream processors and the RX 5700 has 2,304, AMD's wiggle room is somewhere between the two, with stream processor counts of 2,048 or 1,920 being plausible for the RX 5600 XT, and 1,792 for the RX 5600, if it exists. Availability of the RX 5600 series is slated for January 2020.

Since its on GDDR6 even 192bit offers plenty of bandwidth.
300€+ for a gpu is not mainstream any more...
I feel like 250-275-280€ is maximum for higher midrange gaming that the majority of people use for 3-4years to come
Now on the topic, if 5500xt goes for 200 and is faster than 1650s, it's a good deal...

I've got 2 older rigs still using still using a 7970 & the other 2x 280X crossfire. These cards still work amazingly well today in 1080.
While as member "_Flare" above points to a final "use-up" with a whole Array deactivated, making a 192-Bit 6Gb, while available for like a $220 price point but works like a Vega 56.
It hark en's back to "Big Chips" like (Tahti or GK 104) that where used in cards like the HD 7870 XT or GTX 660 Ti.
