AMD Radeon RX 6x50 XT Series Possibly in June-July, RX 6500 in May

How about a 16x 6500/XT and the 4X units are 6500 Lite.

meh

I'll just wait for next gen, see if it has DP v2, updated media engine, etc., etc. or anything else. For the $$ these cost may as well wait for the next gen.

Hard to believe RDNA3 is coming Q4 if this is releasing middle of the year, unless of course they'll keep this in production for years, as no one will be able to afford the massively price increased RX 7XXX cards.

 

[ModEl4]

Let's suppose that AMD had the lofty goal to double at the same price the performance and memory every 10 years this means at $199 in April of 2022 should have launched a 6GB part with +41.5% better performance than RX580 4GB (or offer same performance and memory at $139) of course this goal (double every 10 freaking years) is unrealistic, we should not be too greedy, let's not ask too much of them! (Nvidia does a little bit better than AMD, but this doesn't say much with a 10 years goal...)

Agreed but that or Intel's arc... when its released!

Never ever a new GPU from AMD, today i would play BF4 and what happen in real, search for a driver whos working without bugs over bugs:
2020 drivers: wrong color Bug & Settings Crash
2019 drivers: Settings Crash and Driver Reset
2018 drivers: Game Problem with DX11/12

2017 driver: yeah it works but is 5 years old
17.12.1

Use enterprise drivers.

so, they just released radeon rx 6500 xt 4gb 64bit, but they want to released radeon rx 6550 xt in couple months .... well, ok.....

New info:
- only full Navi21 and Navi22 will be released with faster memory (6950 XT and 6750 XT) - source
- the process stays 7 nm, so no 6 nm refresh - source
- the possibility of a 8 GB RX 6500 XT exists - source

Because 6500xt fail I will never trust radeon with 5 in its name.

so, where is it then, radeon rx 6850 xt ?? rx 6650 xt ?? rx 6550 xt ??

There will not be a 6550XT, the next one is 6500 non XT. 8 GB version (if it is true) will still have same name.

Is it really miners at this point?
What the heck are they mining? Is there really enough demand for cryptobazinga?

I don't think this card is fast enough for mining. Doesn't matter how much vram. It has terrible horse power and isn't worth it for miners.

I hope techpup dont receive the sample from Amd. They dont deserve it after putting in home page for months only nv-int products.

6650 XT might come in Q2, but the other two cards will probably never be released.

Personally, if they can just do the Navi 21 & 22 holding the 7 nm process, with slightly higher engine clocks, and 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory... while increase output and hold the pricing, in regular times we'd consider it not that bad refresh/re-spin. But yes, it will just be more the same; unable to feed an insatiable market, meaning over-priced and still unattainable.
