AMD Radeon RX 6950, RX 6750 and RX 6650 XT GPUs will replace their base versions

According to the information published by Hassan Mujtaba of Wccftech, AMD will only focus on new Radeon cards with faster memories.

as many know AMD y NVIDIA They have been squeezing their current graphics architectures to bring new graphics cards to market, while a new generation does not arrive. With the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers had limitations in new components, which makes it more feasible to continue working with what you have. New RDNA 2-based remakes from AMD are on the way, and with no official announcement as of yet, and are expected to replace the base models.

It seems like AIBs will stop making 6600/6700/6900 XT cards and focus on the new 6650/6750/6950 XT series instead.

So RDNA 2 refresh is looking more like a replacement rather than a higher-end alternative to existing models.

According to him, “it seems that manufacturing partners will stop manufacturing RX 6600, RX 6700 and RX 6900 XT cards to focus on the new RX 6650, RX 6750 and RX 6950 XT“. “So the RDNA 2 update looks more like a replacement than a high-end alternative to existing models,” adds Mujtaba.

The Radeon RX 6000 GPU lineup has other models that shouldn’t be getting a replacement, such as the RX 6500 XT, RX 6800, and RX 6800 XT, as well as the RX 6400, which has yet to be officially released.

AMD has not officially released these new RX 6×50 XT variants of RDNA 2 graphics cards until now.

For now, we can only speculate, since when the first unofficial information came out, it was said that these new GPUs would cost more than their base versions. But, if we take into account that it will actually be a replacement, the fairest thing would be to charge the same, despite the fact that these new models have more performance.

The three new video cards, RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT and RX 6650 XT they have something in common, they will all come with 18 Gbps memory, according to rumors so far. As for the amount of video memory, each of these cards should arrive with the same value as the base models, 8GB, 12GB and 16GB respectively.

These new cards will probably come with a higher TDP, due to the higher performance. New RDNA 2-based cards from AMD are expected on May 10.
