AMD RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT, and RX 6650 XT Pictured, Launching on May 10
AMD's Radeon RX product stack refresh for Spring-Summer, is reportedly set to launch on May 10, 2022. Here's the first picture of what a reference-design RX 6950 XT flagship, RX 6750 XT, and the mid-range RX 6650 XT, could look like. These reference board designs are essentially identical to the original RX 6000 made-by-AMD (MBA) reference designs, but ditch the two-tone silver+black color-scheme for an all-black scheme with some diamond-cut edges around the fan vents, and some piano-black accents.
At this point it is not known if this refresh sees the Navi 20-series ASICs optically-shrunk to the TSMC N6 (6 nm) silicon fabrication node, or if it's the existing 7 nm ASICs with their total graphics power (TGP) values dialed up to make room for increased engine clocks, and faster 18 Gbps-rated GDDR6 memory chips. It's interesting to see the RX 6750 XT now come with a triple-fan cooler that resembles the RX 6800 (non-XT) cooler in design, if not color. We're not sure if the RX 6650 XT reference design will ever make it to the real-world, or if it's just a concept, and the SKU is an AIB-exclusive (custom-designs only).

What happened to the pricing? Still scalpers and 55-60% over the official MSRP?
RX 6950 XT is enthusiast-tier;
RX 6900 XT is enthusiast-tier;
RX 6800 XT is high-end;
RX 6800 is upper mid-range;
RX 6750 XT is upper mid-range;
RX 6700 XT is mid-range;
RX 6650 XT is lower mid-range;
RX 6600 XT, RX 6600 and RX 6500 XT are low-end and something has to be entry level.
Put differently, you might very well move from your 6600XT to an 6800XT to enable a higher resolution across the board, or high refresh. But 6500 > 6600 is virtually pointless.
SKU and the nomenclature can be deceiving (hello nvidia!) i like looking at the chips and the general resolution its products target:
NAVI 21 - enthusiast (4K+)
NAVI 22 - high end (1440+)
NAVI 23 - mainstream (1080+)
NAVI 24 - entry level (720+)
then each specific SKU can target the frame rate at each resolution ala 6800/6900. though yeah, its about what chip is where. however, it seems everyone is arbitrary on which categories and how to label them
also those fucking scalpers with bots who inevitably are going to win out the sale of them, can pre-emptively eat shit.
mods will allow this post, deep down, when they are snuggling under the blankies, they agree with me on this. :love:
niche is niche.
so.... :kookoo:
seems you just want to be argumentative. sure you can use a 4K/60fps part for 1440/120 or 1080/240hz gaming then go for it. :)
but thats you. ;)
have amd's marketing for clarification:
