When AMD CEO Lisa Su said last week that the company is set to release its mainstream Radeon RX 7000 series of graphics cards this quarter. (opens in new tab), she didn’t say exactly when this would happen. However, it looks like AMD’s Radeon RX 7600 series graphics cards could be closer than we think as the boards are already listed in Asia. Soon the RX 7600 will face off against the best graphics cards.

video cards (opens in new tab) received images of Sapphire’s Radeon RX 7600 Pulse 8GB GDDR6 graphics board on store shelves. On the package, we can see that the GPU features 32 RDNA 3 Compute Units (2048 Stream Processors) and 32MB of Infinity Cache. There is no information on the product’s release date, but the card will reportedly cost $249, which contradicts Carousell’s information.
In any case, the image itself suggests that one of AMD’s closest partners, Sapphire, has already started shipping the boards to retailers, and it’s only a matter of time before these parts become available worldwide. It shows that
AMD’s Radeon RX 7600 series graphics cards are expected to be based on Navi 33 GPUs. It’s difficult to extrapolate the performance of a regular Radeon RX 7600 and compare it to the performance of Nvidia’s as-yet-unreleased GeForce RTX 4060 series graphics boards, but these product families certainly compete with each other. Based on the RX 7900 XT vs RX 6900 XT comparison, if the RX 7600 shows a similar performance boost, it’s only about 25% faster than the existing RX 6600. It seems like next month.
Take all that into consideration as we’re dealing with unofficial information about the Radeon RX 7600 launch date and conflicting information regarding pricing. It’s obvious we’re getting it, so it’s logical to expect the board to hit the market sooner or later.
