Does Radeon RX 6600 XT arrive in August at a price of $ 399?

The Radeon RX 6600 XT should debut ad August. A few hours after the fleeting appearance of the pages dedicated to the RX 6600 XT and the RX 6600 on the PowerColor website, the youtubers Coreteks e Moore’s Law is Dead relaunch talking not only about the release date of the XT model, but also about a price that would have been set at 399 dollars.

At the moment certainly not the final price as it would only be $ 80 less than the 6700 XT’s list price ($ 479) and the same price tag as Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. The fact that the information has reached two different sources gives it a little more weight, although it cannot be ruled out that it is an AMD “tactic” to test the public’s response to such a high price list.

If it were, it would be a bizarre choice since the biggest problem should remain the availability and the real price, rather than the list price: the shortage is still far from being resolved, despite some glimmers of light here and there.

According to new leaks, even though AMD would make a Radeon RX 6600 XT with a single fan reference design – as in the image above – for promotional purposes, there will be no reference solutions on the market, but only custom proposals of the partners. Also, AMD shouldn’t sell the card through the store on their site.

As for the Radeon RX 6600, the two youtubers have not released information, which suggests that the two cards could debut on different dates or that the “smooth” solution will be marketed only to OEMs to end up in pre-assembled PCs.

Both cards should be based on the Navi 23 GPU with 11.06 billion transistors and 32 MB of Infinty Cache. The RX 6600 XT should have 2048 stream processor and 8GB of GDDR6 memory at 16 Gbps on 128-bit buses, while the RX 6600 could stop at 1792 stream processors, such as the W6600 and W6600M, as well as the mobile version 6600M. The RX 6600 XT, according to rumors, could have performance similar to the RX 5700 XT or GTX 1080 Ti.
