Possible AMD Radeon RX 7600 Specs Leaked
Possible specifications of the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card leaked to the web. At this point we don't know if the RX 7600 maxes out the silicon it is based on (with room for a faster RX 7600 XT). The leak appears to be from marketing materials of the RX 7600. It speaks of 32 Compute Units. This works out to the same 2,048 stream processors as the previous-generation RX 6600 XT, but an increase from the 1,792 of the RX 6600. The mention of AI accelerators confirms that this GPU is based on the latest RDNA3 graphics architecture.
The other RDNA3 feature referenced is the Radiance Display Engine, which supports the latest DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1a outputs, along with 12 bpc color, and support for resolutions as high as 4K 180 Hz with a single cable. Apparently, the GPU that the RX 7600 is based on has 32 MB of Infinity Cache memory, which is the same amount as the previous-generation "Navi 23" silicon powering the RX 6600 series. For the flagship "Navi 31," the Infinity Cache memory size is generationally reduced to 96 MB (from 128 MB on "Navi 21,") because the memory bus width has generationally increased to 384-bit (from 256-bit). This could mean that the RX 7600 has a 128-bit wide memory bus, given that its Infinity Cache size is unchanged from that of the RX 6600 series.

And that's that then. Maybe I should start a Youtube channel a'la MLID, this guessing game is so hard.
This does bode well for the 7600XT (if it exists) having 12GB VRAM, given that 8GB really isn't suitable for 1440p in 2023. The downside is that Navi32 isn't due to release until the Autumn.
Based on laptop comparisons of equivalent-tier Navi33 vs Navi23 (7600M vs 6600M) we're looking at 15% higher clocks AND 15% lower power draw so we should see RX 6700 performance for the power draw and approximate cost of an RX 6600.
I know it's not a huge leap in performance, but it's a non-trivial bump in both performance/Watt and performance/$, which have always been more important metrics for the lower end of the market where people have limited PSUs, limited cooling, and limited money.Anything is possible, hopefully we'll get more info when the RX 7600 launches on the 25th.
I think an XT as a 16GB sub-$350 card would be very welcome, if they do simply double the VRAM on the 7600. It would hurt performance/$ a bit but it would still be about as potent as a PS5's GPU and be future-proofed against VRAM issues for at least as long as the current gen consoles are supported.
So if this is just matching the 6700 non-xt while offering less VRAM and narrower bus it should definitely cost less than 300€
