NVIDIA and AMD's new generation of entry-level graphics cards are arriving, the former has RTX 3050, the latter has RX 6500 XT, RX 6400.
The configuration list of Lenovo's new machine savior T5 clearly appears in the RX 6500 XT. Although no specific core specifications are given, it is confirmed that there will be 4GB of GDDR6 video memory, and a HDMI 2.1 and a DisplayPort 1.4a output interface are configured, all of which support up to 8K/60Hz.
4GB of video memory means that it cannot be used to be mined.
This information was quickly deleted by Lenovo, but it undoubtedly proved that the new card is not far away, and it seems that it will be preferentially used for OEM machines - the old rules of low-end uniqueness.
According to previous exposures, the RX 6500 XT will use the full Navi 24 core, which is also the fourth and smallest core of the RDNA2 family after The Navi 21/22/23, with 16 computing units, 1024 stream processors, 16 optical chase units, 16MB unlimited cache, memory width 64-bit, frequency 14GHz, bandwidth 112GB/s, and estimated power consumption of 100W.
The RX 6500 XT is expected to be released in mid-January.
The more entry-level RX 6400 is a streamlined Navi 24 XL core, 768 stream processors, power consumption of only 75W, can not need external auxiliary power supply, but the time to market will not be until March.
Not surprisingly, at the CES 2022 launch in January april, AMD will mention these two new cards.
