AMD today gave its Radeon RX 6000 series a pretty broad-ranging update with the introduction of three new SKUs, the Radeon RX 6950 XT, the RX 6750 XT, and the RX 6650 XT. The RX 6950 XT and RX 6750 XT are positioned at competitive price-points of $1,099 and $549, respectively, and they push the RX 6900 XT and RX 6700 XT down to lower price-points. The RX 6650 XT, however, replaces the RX 6600 XT at $399, which gets retired from the product-stack.

All three of these are based on the same 7 nm (TSMC N7) silicon fabrication node, and the same exact RDNA2 architecture as the cards they're displacing/replacing; but AMD has developed them in three distinct directions. The first of course is at the firmware/software level, which is a mysterious secret-sauce and probably has to do with the boosting algorithm. The second is increased GPU clocks, and the third is faster memory, with 18 Gbps-rated GDDR6 memory deployed on all three cards. AMD claims that the RX 6950 XT beats the GeForce RTX 3090 and the RTX 3080 Ti; the RX 6750 XT increases lead over the RTX 3070 and gains on the RTX 3070 Ti; while the RX 6650 XT increases lead over the RTX 3060, gaining in on the RTX 3060 Ti.



Check out the TechPowerUp reviews of the MSI RX 6950 XT Gaming X, Sapphire RX 6950 XT NITRO+ Pure, GIGABYTE RX 6950 XT Gaming OC, MSI RX 6750 XT Gaming X, ASUS ROG Strix RX 6750 XT OC, and MSI RX 6650 XT Gaming X

The RX 6950 XT now comes with GPU game clocks of 2100 MHz, compared to 2015 MHz of the RX 6900 XT; the RX 6750 XT does 2495 MHz game clocks (vs. 2424 MHz of the RX 6700 XT); and the RX 6650 XT does 2410 MHz, compared to 2359 MHz of the RX 6600 XT. All three come with 18 Gbps memory speeds, which mean a 12.5% increase in memory bandwidth for all three.



With this launch, AMD is announcing the 2022 Raise the Game bundle. Gamers purchasing a qualifying AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card from a participating retailer after May 10, 2022, will receive a code from the retailer, which can be redeemed to avail keys to a one or more AAA games (depending on the graphics card model). Among the new titles on offer are Saints Row: The Third (2022 Remastered); and Sniper Elite 5. AMD will separately announce the details of the bundle, including details on which card gets you what combination of games. The list of participating retailers can be accessed here.

Boring.

On top of that no 6850, probably because AMD wants that sweet $1100 for 6950 instead.

I dunno, only $100 price bump on the 6950XT isn't terrible, all things considered.

We're all frogs, slowly being boiled by AMD and NVIDIA.

What a weird refresh, really nothing above and beyond the products they displaced outside of marginally higher core clocks, higher power limits (yikes on those custom 6950's) and faster memory all amounting to a few percentage points here and there. Seems like clockspeeds that the non x50 parts could achieve with mild overclocking.

Now I'm also hearing the old products they superseded are scarce/discontinued/unavailable...

There's obviously going to be many ways to interpret this, but I'm struggling to think of anything kind to say about it from a consumer perspective.
