AMD Announcing New RX 6000 Series RDNA2 GPU on March 3rd
AMD has recently announced their third "When Gaming Begins" event to announce the latest addition to the Radeon RX 6000 Series. AMD unveiled the first of their Ryzen 5000 Series processors during the first When Gaming Begins event and announced the RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, and RX 6900 XT graphics cards during the second event. This third event will almost certainly be to officially unveil the Radeon RX 6700 XT and/or RX 6700 graphics cards which we have received various leaks and rumors about.
We expect the RX 6700 XT to come with 40 compute units, 2560 cores, and 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6 memory and to compete with the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti. The card is rumored to retail for under 250 USD however it is unknown if the card will actually be available to purchase at this price. The RX 6700 features the same 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6 memory but only includes 36 compute units and 2304 cores. AMD will likely also talk about their laptop plans and software features during the event. The third When Gaming Begins event will be live-streamed by AMD on March 3rd at 11 am ET.

It must be like this:
6700 - 250USD
6700XT - ~400USD, competes with 3060Ti
Even if the 6700 is equivalent to the 3060, $250 will make it WAY more value for money than the 3060.
Assuming, of course, that the cards are actually priced at that value.

They just milking both sides they know gamers still going need graphic cards but miners ?, well lets serve them 1st while they are in need. Not just on about AMD either.
I'm just interested to see someone do a clock-for-clock performance comparison between RDNA1 and RDNA2 since both this 6700 and the old 5700 are similar configs (GDDR6, 36CU). I know the 5700XT has more memory bandwidth but that shouldn't make any difference at lower resolutions.
AMD and Nvidia always there for mining.
Look at this:
Look at those FLOPS values.
The 770 isn't even that fast of a card, but it has 6x the power of a 4770K CPU.
GPUs are just way faster at doing simple tasks than CPUs.
