Two PC-Canada listings have revealed the Canadian pricing for AMD’s upcoming RX 7600. One on the list features the Sapphire Pulse RX 7600. 451.99 Canadian Dollarand the other is 443.99 Canadian Dollar For MSI RX 7600 Mech 2x Classic. After converting to US dollars and taking into account the potential “early adopter tax,” the approximate price is approximately US$299. That’s technically lower than AMD’s RX 6600 launch price, well below the RX 6650 XT’s MSRP of $399, but various RX 66xx class GPUs are selling well below their launch prices these days. tend to be
At first glance, AMD’s new RDNA 3 GPUs look affordable. For example, the RX 6600 XT and RX 6650 XT launched at $379 and $399 respectively. Looking at the specs of the rumored RX 7600, the 7600 could have the same number of Compute Units (CUs) as the 6650 XT and would use AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture which could be even faster and better. I’m here.
However, the pricing has changed significantly since its release, with AMD’s entire RX 6600 series lineup now well below the RX 6600’s original MSRP of $330. The current price is RX 6600 starting at just $200 (opens in new tab),on the other hand, RX6600XT (opens in new tab) and RX6650XT (opens in new tab) You can buy it for around $250-$280.
At these heavily discounted prices, there’s no guarantee that the RX 7600 will be a distinct upgrade over the RX 6600 series. This is especially true for the RX 6650 XT which has exactly the same core count as the RX 7600. Clocks, power and other aspects are certainly taken into consideration, but AMD’s RX 7600 takes a lot of effort to perform. Better value than AMD’s existing GPUs.
Part of the problem is that, unlike Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture, RDNA 3 has no noticeable upgrade over RDNA 2. Raytracing performance has improved slightly, his number of ALUs per CU has been doubled, and the cache size has changed (doubled in some cases, reduced in L3 case). But the biggest news was that AMD moved to his GPU chiplet. it’s not This was happening with the Navi 33 GPU purported to power the RX 7600, and the chiplet didn’t really do anything to improve performance. At least in this generation, chiplets were more about saving money than improving performance. The process node will be scaled down but based on previous rumors the Navi 33 will likely still be on top of the TSMC N6 and since it’s just a tweaked version of TSMC’s N7 node, even that isn’t much It may not make sense.
Of course, we’ll have to wait for launch day reviews to know just how good or bad the RX 7600 really is. However, there’s no denying that the RX 7600 fully utilizes AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture to offer a legitimate performance advantage over its predecessor. Considering we’ve never seen anything like this before, this is not confidence-inspiring. real Innovations with AMD’s RDNA3 architecture significantly outperform RDNA 2.
According to the GPU benchmark hierarchy, the RX 7900 XTX outperforms the RX 6950 XT by up to 40%. This is good, but it has a 50% wider memory interface, 50% more memory, and 160% more theoretical compute power. For now, we can only wonder exactly how much higher performance (if any) the RX 7600 will offer compared to his existing RX 6650 XT.
The end of the cryptocurrency mining boom, combined with inflation and other challenging macroeconomic factors, has created many problems for the GPU industry in general. The fact that AMD seems to be launching his RX 7600 ahead of potential RX 7700/7800 series cards means that many unreleased RX 6700/6800/6900 class GPUs are still available. The fact that there is says a lot. Hopefully AMD can understand their challenges and provide a compelling reason to choose the RX 7600 over his existing RX 66xx series GPUs. Otherwise, the RX 7600 might have a hard time selling near $300.
