Official marketing from March 18 ... but probably not the slightest stock. Alas.
In
the middle of last week, AMD was self-promoting and pointed to an
important announcement released today. The American company has
therefore kept its word and the announcement in question concerns the
latest addition to the Radeon RX range, the new series of graphics cards
from AMD.
Navi 22 XT and 12 GB of GDDR6
After the Radeon RX 6800/6800 XT on
November 18 and the Radeon RX 6900 XT two weeks later, it will
therefore have taken another three months to see AMD complete its new
architecture with a more accessible model, a card more oriented towards
the midrange.
As one would expect and in accordance with what
announced the multiple rumors, the onboard GPU on the RX 6700 XT is a
Navi 22 XT integrating 40 units of calculation. It has 12 GB of GDDR6 to
support it and climbs up to 2424 MHz with a boost frequency of 2581
MHz.
AMD also emphasizes that the memory interface is on 192 bits before mentioning the 96 MB of Infinity Cache and a thermal envelope of 230 Watts maximum. Finally, and this is undoubtedly more important than all these figures, AMD insists on the relevance of its card for the 1440p.
In front of the RTX 3070 in 1440p?
The American has a heavy hand
on the superlative side, specifying that his new card 'pushes the limits
of video games by offering incredible 1440p performance and dazzling
graphic fidelity'. A definition of image which allows 'settings pushed
to the maximum and this [...] at very high refresh rate' in the words of
Scott Herkelman.
The Corporate Vice President General Manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD then continues with several slides to illustrate his point. He does not hesitate to compare the Radeon RX 6700 XT to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti of course, but also and above all to the RTX 3070… Two cards that it seems to beat in the vast majority of cases.
We obviously wait
until we have the RX 6700 XT in our hands before we get excited, but
it's promising. Unfortunately, the inevitable problem of availability
remains when the card is due out on March 18 at an official price of $
479 that we will probably not see very often.
