AMD Navi 24 GPU Powering RX 6500 XT Built on 6nm
AMD's first GPU built on the N6 (6 nm) silicon fabrication process isn't some big RX 7000 series behemoth, but the smallest chip from the Navi 2x GPU family, codenamed Navi 24. Based on the same RDNA2 graphics architecture as the rest of the RX 6000 series, the Navi 24 physically packs 1,024 stream processors across 16 compute units (8 WGPs), and on the RX 6500 XT, reportedly comes with 4 GB of memory across a 64-bit wide memory bus. The chip also packs a tiny 16 MB Infinity Cache. VideoCardz scored the first renders of the upcoming Radeon RX 6500 XT and RX 6400, which are based on the Navi 24. The RX 6500 XT features a full-height, 2-slot board design that uses a simple aluminium monoblock fan-heatsink. The RX 6400, on the other hand, is not just low-profile (half-height), but also single-slot.
Update Dec 28th: Unless we're mistaken, the SMDs near the PCIe interface in those renders seem to suggest that the GPU features a PCIe x4 interface. This should offer sufficient bandwidth for a GPU in this segment, and should help lower the pin-count of the GPU, as well as board costs.

I'm not holding my breath, initial pricing will be "market value" so likely a couple hundred bucks if it performs even remotely like a GTX980....Based on specs alone, no. It would be a sidegrade, perhaps even a significant downgrade.
At best, this is half the performance of a 6600XT, so we're looking at GTX 1060 levels for the 6500. The tiny Infinity Cache and limited bandwidth may actually make this slower than even an old GTX 1060.
My slimline TV box uses a 4GB RX 560, and in both doom and cities skylines I am VRAM limited. This GPU could boast over twice the GPU performance, but with 4GB of VRAM on a 64 bit bus its going to be choked at every turn.
Intel's ARC A380, with a 6GB 96 bit bus, is much more promising, both in capacity and bandwidth.

People said the RX 6600 wouldnt go past $450-500, at worse, since they didnt make much sense for miners, and yet here we are.....
mucho...waste...of...time...resources...money....

Be good for HTPC I guess. I see why AMD isn't putting 1024 shaders in it's APUs, these things would almost be pointless. I wonder if they will also go to OEMs or whole market?
IF AIB partners make a small half height 6500xt, I can see that being semi-popular due to the lack of decent performance cards in that size.
I can spend 3000€ for a 3090ti but hell no ill dont do that, before that ill spend 3000€ in weed and beer.
In my opinion a 3090ti is a maximum 1000€ card, not even one cent more.
I remember about spring 2011. I bought a mobo for about $130, a radeon 6850 for $130, and amd 955 cpu for $200, etc. etc. basically built a whole new desktop PC for $800 CAD. Now can't even get a basic video card for that. And that was a decent PC for 2011!!
lmao while u can play on medium with high textures on the 590, u can play on medium with low textures cause the holy 64bit and 4Gig.
Yeah great i will be use the same setting on a second hand GTX 960 4Gig for about 80€.
