AMD may be prepping an even more affordable budget graphics card for its May release, and we've also heard talk of a possible release schedule for these rumored revamped XNUMX RX-series GPUs (more on that later).
But first, the presumed budget model: it's going to be the RX XNUMX, and according to hardware leaker Greymon on Twitter, it could arrive in May and it's going to have specs similar to the RX XNUMX recently revealed by AMD.
There will be RX 6 in May, I think the specs are going to be close to the RX 50 OEM. RX 2X2022XT is surely in June-July February XNUMX, XNUMX

If you recall, AMD showed off the RX XNUMX at CES XNUMX, but let us know that it would be OEM only (meaning you're only going to be able to get one as part of a pre-built computer). It's the RX XNUMX XT that's on the shelves (albeit extremely rare at launch), but if Greymon is right, a vanilla RX XNUMX will join in a few months, with specs pretty close to the RX XNUMX. four hundred.
The RX 6 offers XNUMX stream processors and XNUMX GB of GDDRXNUMX video memory, with clocks of just over XNUMX MHz and XNUMX MHz for base and boost, respectively.
As for the cost of the RX 130, Greymon thinks it will be around €95 in the US (about €180 / AU$XNUMX, to give you a ballpark idea, but remember that currency conversions don't matter). they are truly an indication of GPU costs in different zones).
Greymon has also added ancillary information about the RX 6X50 update that is supposed to be behind the scenes, adding to previous gossip on this subject from a few weeks ago. He seems that these renewed cards should arrive in the middle of the year, in June or July.
(*2*)Review: A refreshingly weird resolution and the specter of price inflationRegarding the 6X50 update, Greymon further notes that AMD's next-gen RDNA-based three cards will arrive early in Q2, most likely in October, thus launching the revised models of high-end RDNA XNUMX in June would only give a few months. of room to breathe.
That doesn't make a lot of sense to us: why issue a temporary update to existing models when the next generation is going to be so close right now? Unless Greymon presents RDNA version three as too optimistic. We had also previously speculated that the 6X50 cards would be XNUMXnm, but Greymon adamantly rules that out, so aside from faster memory (XNUMXGbps) as noted above, it's unclear how these upgraded GPUs would significantly distinguish themselves ( or where the ability to, for example, increase the clock speed).
In general, we are still quite incredulous about this one, but if it is well planned by Team Red, we will undoubtedly hear more gossip in the near future if it is released in June.
As for the theoretical RX six thousand five hundred, if Greymon is correct in claiming a cost of about €XNUMX (about €XNUMX / AU$XNUMX), that equates to €XNUMX (about €XNUMX / AU€XNUMX) for the RX XNUMX XT, although we obviously have to remember that this is the recommended cost, and the reality is that it is inevitably inflated by the actual costs.
In these dismal days, GPU costs are still above MSRP (although they've come down a bit recently), and even with more affordable cards like the recently released RX 4 XT, it could officially be worth €XNUMX. but the cheapest list at Newegg USA, for example, today costs €XNUMX. There is a €XNUMX GPU and a €XNUMX GPU, but both are sold out (and in particular when we saw the launch there were XNUMX €XNUMX XT XNUMX cards, so there is no doubt that marking is already in progress).
In short, despite gossip of €XNUMX being in the money for the RX XNUMX variation, don't expect to be able to pick up a GPU for that amount. That said, by the middle of the year we expect to see the graphics card supply situation improve and therefore costs improve, in tandem with Intel coming to market with Arc Alchemist GPUs and introducing more competitive costs, hopefully cheap and high-end.
