Pricing leaks for AMD’s Radeon “RDNA 2 Refresh” GPU lineup
A newly leaked slide from AMD (thanks Videocardz) has seemingly confirmed the release date and pricing for AMD’s planned “RDNA 2 Refresh”, updated RX 6000 series graphics cards that feature faster GDDR6 memory and higher core clock speeds.
For AMD’s planned Radeon RX 6950 XT, a higher-end model of their Radeon RX 6900 XT, AMD has reportedly set a price of $1099. This is $100 more than AMD’s original RX 6900 XT MSRP, with that money being pushed into 18 Gbps memory modules, and a notable boost in the speed of the graphics card’s stream processors.
With the RX 6750 XT, AMD is increasing their prices by $70, placing the RX 6750 XT’s MSRP dangerously close to the pricing of their Radeon RX 6800 (which costs $30 more). Whether or not the boosted performance of these new models justify a $70 price increase remains to be seen, though we would have liked to have seen AMD push for lower pricing than this.
On the lower-end of their GPU lineup, AMD’s RX 6650 XT has a price premium of $20 over AMD’s RX 6600 XT, making the premium easy to justify given the graphics card’s memory and clock speed boost. $20 is not a lot of money, and this price premium is very acceptable.
