AMD Readies Radeon RX 7650 GRE Based on "Navi 33"
AMD is readying a new mainstream graphics card positioned based on its current RDNA 3 graphics architecture, the Radeon RX 7650 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition). The company has had great success in selling graphics card SKUs with the "GRE" brand extension in China, with the RX 6750 GRE being a popular SKU there; and it even has an enthusiast-class SKU with the RX 7900 GRE, which saw a global launch earlier this year. The company is hoping for the "GRE" moniker to compete better against the GeForce RTX 4060, at least in specific markets. A new Benchlife.info report says that the RX 7650 GRE will be based on the 6 nm "Navi 33" monolithic silicon, and not the 5 nm "Navi 32" chiplet-based GPU previously reported.
AMD has already maxed out the "Navi 33" for both the RX 7600 and RX 7600 XT, with the latter only seeing its memory size doubled over the former, so it remains to be seen where AMD goes with the RX 7650 GRE. The "7650" numbering suggests a faster SKU, so it's possible that AMD increases the engine clock speeds of the "Navi 33" by as much as it can. The RX 7600 comes with a 2.25 GHz Game clock, which the RX 7600 XT slightly bumps up to 2.47 GHz. If we were to guess, the RX 7650 GRE could focus on increasing the Game clock, not the memory size; and so it could have the power configuration of the RX 7600 XT, and room for Game clocks either on-par or higher than the RX 7600 XT, while retaining the 8 GB memory size of the RX 7600.

Granted, yeah, although that switch to 12nm definitely didn’t really help - the 590 was an absolute disaster in terms of efficiency. So not like it mattered in the grand scheme of things, really. But yeah, this one, if it pans out to be an actual thing and AMD goes through with it, will be an almost unheard of level of low effort SKU spam. The 7600XT already was arguably unnecessary and pointless. This would be just another sign that Radeon division is absolutely cooked.
Just don't clock bump the 7600 again... An Extra 200Mhz will make no meaningful difference.
Also, whilst you are at it. Actually work with laptop manufacturers to ensure your high end GPU's actually, you know, appear in any that are sold...
The only hope for a re-release of anything at this junker tier is producing a card for SFF at 3/4 power.
Also racks at a shorter+longer package than the original with minimal power input (6-pin?).
If I want a minimalist RX 7000 series card in any of my stuff, I'm putting it to work as encode or remote GPU.
This 7650GRE is either an auto-fail or setup for failure. It's gonna be DOA just like the 7400/7500 idea.
The 6650XT / 7600 / 7600Xt / 7650GRE are just same performance products from AMD.
That performance of 6600XT and similiar slowly moves in the basic desktop graphic card section, e.g. when you want a dedicated graphic card with dedicated graphic memory with latest driver features.
This card was entry gaming at the time of purchase. I highly doubt the 6600XT was ever midrange.
Lowmidrange is the Radeon 7800XT.Highend is Nvidia 4090 or the professional gpus. Many cards slower you can ditch in the midrange section, which has a lot of different graphic cards.
I think they are smoking crack if they think they'll sell a bunch of Navi 3x chips off when most sources suggest a Navi 4x launch in early January.
