While waiting for the production and distribution of graphics chips to stabilize, supply to increase and costs to drop, the main distributors (NVIDIA and AMD) continue to build their new generations and also improve the current series with some "rehashes" or with more interesting news such as the one we are dealing with here.

In addition to this, the return of Intel enters the dedicated graphics market with the Arc Alchemist You must suspect a boost for the field and many more options for the client.

NVIDIA has now dropped hints that it would continue to generate new ones graphics cards "Ampere" even after the publication of the recent RTC 4000 and AMD, we think, will do the same: develop the RX 7000 generation in parallel while updating today's architecture with new models.

We do not understand if it is the response to a specific moment due to the (regrettable) market situation or to a commercial plan that will extend over time.

Radeon RX 6000 Series

This is where AMD's update comes in with three cards whose most essential novelty will be the increase in the agility of the memory at 18 Gigabytes/s and also the TBP, 50 watts more for the highest performance model. The main models and information will be the following:

• RX 6950 XT: Navi 21 XTXH – 7nm manufacturing development – 5120 processors Stream – 16 Gbytes of dedicated memory on a 256-bit bus – Memory speed 18 Gigabytes/s – 350W TBP.
• RX 6750 XT: Navi 22 XT – 7nm manufacturing development – 2560 processors Stream – 12 Gbytes of dedicated memory on a 256-bit bus – Memory speed 18 Gigabytes/s – Unrecognizable TBP.
• RX 6650 XT: Navi 23 XT – 7nm manufacturing development – 2048 Stream processors – 8 Gbytes of memory dedicated on a 256-bit bus – Memory speed 18 Gigabytes/s – Unrecognizable TBP.

Aside from the above, AMD will launch the existing RX 6400 to the general retail channel.

Until now it was only available to integrators and OEMs, and knowing that it is the cheapest card among the RDNA ones could be attractive for those who want to enter the dedicated ones. range from the start.

As far as costs are concerned, there is talk of a increase of 50 US dollars on those of the general series publication.

We will observe. AMD urgently needs news on graphics cards.

NVIDIA dominates extensively in any client segment (except in the semi-customized segment for third parties where AMD has played its cards really well), from the players as we see month by month in the Steam statistics to the cryptomeria one.

And be careful with Intel's re-entry because it can hurt AMD's catalog sales much more than that of NVIDIA.
