According to a source who cites an informed insider, the shortage of components led to the delay in the release of budget AMD Radeon RX 6600 and RX 6600 XT graphics cards – those that, at an official price of $ 300-350, were supposed to give battle to the GeForce RTX 3060.
It was expected that the premiere of the Radeon RX 6600 line will take place on June 1 – and multiple leaks that have happened in recent days only strengthened the opinion that the video cards will go on sale soon after the premiere. But according to new data, their release is postponed from the end of the second quarter (that is, from June) to the middle of the third quarter (August or early September). Although the announcement could still take place on June 1st.
As an insider writes, behind the scenes, he hears nothing but “shortage” and “who knows if we can launch this in the near future.” It should be noted that AMD already has big problems with the release of video cards of the Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6900 series – it is not easy to find them in retail, unlike Nvidia Ampere models. The supply situation for the Radeon RX 6700 XT is better, but also far from ideal. So it is not surprising that the company faces difficulties with the release of the junior Radeon RX 6600 line.
Recall that the Radeon RX 6600 and Radeon RX 6600 XT are credited with 32 compute units with 2048 and 1792 stream processors, respectively. The GDDR6 memory capacity is 8 GB, the memory bus width is 128 bits. Also, video cards will receive 32 or 64 MB of fast Infinity Cache. TDP of video cards of the series for desktop PCs will be 150-200 W, for mobile versions – 50-100 W.
