AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series Specs Leak: RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT, RX 6700 Series
AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, based on the RDNA2 graphics architecture, will see the introduction of the company's first DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics cards (featuring features such as real-time raytracing). A VideoCardz report sheds light on the specifications. The 7 nm "Navi 21" and "Navi 22" chips will power the top-end of the lineup. The flagship part is the Radeon RX 6900 XT, followed by the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800; which are all based on the "Navi 21." These are followed by the RX 6700 XT and RX 6700, which are based on the "Navi 22" silicon.
The "Navi 21" silicon physically features 80 RDNA2 compute units, working out to 5,120 stream processors. The RX 6900 XT maxes the chip out, enabling all 80 CUs, and is internally referred to as the "Navi 21 XTX." Besides these, the RX 6900 XT features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, and engine clocks boosting beyond 2.30 GHz. The next SKU in AMD's product stack is the RX 6800 XT (Navi 21 XT), featuring 72 out of 80 CUs, working out to 4,608 stream processors, the same 16 GB 256-bit GDDR6 memory configuration as the flagship, while its engine clocks go up to 2.25 GHz.
A notch below the RX 6800 XT is the RX 6800 (Navi 21 XL), which cuts down the "Navi 21" further, giving it 64 compute units or 4,096 stream processors; the very same 16 GB of 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface, and up to 2.15 GHz engine clocks. The RX 6900 XT, along with the RX 6800 series, will be announced in the October 28 presser.
The next chip AMD is designing is the 7 nm "Navi 22" silicon, which features 40 compute units. On paper, this count looks similar to that of the "Navi 10," and it remains to be seen if this is a re-badge or a new silicon based on RDNA2. The RX 6700 XT maxes this chip out, featuring 40 CUs or 2,560 stream processors; while the RX 6700 features fewer CUs (possibly 36). The interesting thing about these two is their memory configuration—12 GB of 192-bit GDDR6.

Maybe 700€ and 10% slower than 3080, that would be great. And of course it would be great if the cards were actually available for that price and not only in minimal quantities for twice the price...
Let's see when official reviews will come out after the launch date.
Interested to see the performance and price of 6900XT compared to 3080 specially RT performance.
The power consumption according to other leaks seems to be similar to 3080. :oops:
Lets see if the launch from AMD will be smoother than NVidia or we will have similar issue of non existing stocks everywhere.
My Radeon VII water-cooled is still doing well on 2K monitor so not in hurry to buy another card. :oops:
If the Radion 6900XT is great performer it may be time to go to 4K gaming. :rolleyes:
6900XT could become my next water-cooling project. :D
It all depends if this card will impress me with the performance or would be a disappointment.
Therefore I will wait for review from TPU. ;)
6900 XT <> 3080, $700
6800 XT <> 3070, $500
6800 <> 3060, $400
But it's only a guess.
6900 XT <> 3080, $800
6800 XT <> 3070, $600
6800 <> 3060, $500
