Radeon RX 6900 XT – chopped in half

AMD has unveiled its RX 6700 XT which is its latest RDNA 2-based GPU that targets 1440p PC gamers.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is built around the company's Navi 22 GPU. In terms of core counts, Navi 22 is effectively a Navi 21 -- the "Big Navi" GPU used on the powerful Radeon RX 6900 XT – chopped in half.

This means it has fewer CUs and Ray Accelerators (40 vs. 80), and half the number of Stream Processors (2,560 vs. 5,120). Other bits of the Navi 22 are not scaled back as much.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT has 96MB of Infinity Cache which is down from 128MB of on the 6900 XT. And the 6700 XT's memory interface is 192-bits wide versus 256-bits on Radeon RX 6800 / 6900 series cards. The 6700 XT also features 12GB of GDDR6 memory (versus 16GB).

AMD priced the Radeon RX 6700 XT at $479. That puts its price higher than the competing GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ($399 MSRP), but lower than the RTX 3070 ($499 MSRP).
