AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and 6700 with Navi 22 chips – new details
Source: Pure PC added 23rd Nov 202018 Only two AMD graphics cards based on RDNA 2 architecture from the RX series 6000 debuted in November, i.e. the RX 6800 XT and 6800, although “debuted” is not quite an accurate term, because similarly to GeForce RTX 3000 their availability leaves much to be desired. The flagship Radeon RX 6900 XT will premiere in more than two weeks, on December 8, but many users are still waiting for cheaper chips. The first are to be cards from the RX series 6700, i.e. RX 6700 XT and RX 6700, based on Navi core 22. In the coming weeks, more and more spicy details about these layouts will be surfacing the web. Now we have learned a little more about the power consumption, which may be similar to that of the Radeons RX 5700.
We got to know the information about the expected power consumption of Radeon RX cards 6700 XT and RX 6700 to have 12 GB of GDDR6 memory (192 – bit). The premiere of both models is scheduled for January 2021 of the year.

Cards will use Navi chips 22 XT (with 40 CU blocks and 2560 stream processors) and Navi 22 XTL, which will be reserved for Radeon RX 6700 XT and Radeon RX 6700 respectively. Insider Patrick Schur, who often shares accurate reports on Red chips, revealed that the predicted TGP ratio (but it does not determine the full power consumption as in the case of the competing GeForce RTX!) Of both cards is expected to vary between 186 – 211 In (RX 6700 XT) and 146 – 156 In (RX 6700). For comparison, in the case of the reference Radeon RX 5700 XT it is 180 W, which translated into TBP (Total Board Power) at the level of 225 W. Therefore, the full power consumption of the Radeons RX 6700 should slightly exceed that of the Radeon RX 5700 XT (225 W) and RX 5700 (180 W).

According to Radeon RX reports 6700 are to offer 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with 192 – bit interface, so compared to higher models we would get what understandable, less VRAM and a narrower rail. The premiere of the cards will take place in January 2021, earlier than originally planned. The suggested retail price of these models is not yet known. RX 6700 XT and RX 6700 should compete with GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3060. Nvidia is also getting ready to invade, planning as many as four cards in the same month: RTX 3080 Ti (answer to RX 6900 XT), RTX 3060 12 GB (rival RX 6700), RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3050. As a side note, it is worth adding that the Navi system 22 is also to be used in mobile GPU versions.
