AMD to unveil Radeon RX 6700 XT next week
AMD has confirmed via Twitter that it will unveil the Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics accelerator on March 3 as part of the Where Gaming Begins Episode 3 online event. Besides, the manufacturer also revealed the graphics card’s appearance.
Information that AMD will not stop at the release of the Radeon RX 6900 XT, Radeon RX 6800 XT, and Radeon RX 6800, and in the future will also release younger models based on the RDNA 2 graphics architecture, went even before the presentation of these models. At the same time, the first images of the Radeon RX 6700 XT appeared.
It is assumed that the Radeon RX 6700 XT will be based on the Navi 22 graphics chip. It is likely that in addition to the XT version, AMD will also present a less powerful version of the Radeon RX 6700 on March 3.
Several sources at once attribute the Radeon RX 6700 XT to 2560 stream processors and 12 GB of GDDR6 video memory. Recall that the same amount of memory is used in the GeForce RTX 3060 model from the NVIDIA company, which will start tomorrow, February 25. Recent leaks indicate that the NVIDIA graphics card’s performance is not enough to compete with the Radeon RX 6700 XT, so the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with 8 GB GDDR6 will be a direct competitor for the XT version.
Based on the posted image, the Radeon RX 6700 XT does not have a USB Type-C connector. The card will receive only three DisplayPort interfaces and one HDMI. We will find out the rest of the characteristics of the novelty on March 3.
