AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT - Navi Fires taking on 1660 SUPER
There's no surprise here really, as some AIB partners leaked any and all information. Specs of a Radeon RX 5600XT Challenger D had been listed at the ASRock website. The 7nm based product was listed having 36 compute units and 2304 stream processors, which is the RX 5700. The RX 5600XT has lower clock speeds and less memory. As rumored it will be fitted with 6GB GDDR6, a base clock of 1130 MHz (RX 5700 1465MHz and 8GB). The gameclock of the RX 5600XT is 1375 MHz with a turbo frequency of 1560. With the RX 5700, these clock speeds are 1625 MHz and 1725 MHz respectively.
The memory speed of the RX 5600XT is listed at 12 Gbit/s / 192-bit. Which is 288 GB/s. The RX 5700 has a memory speed of 14 Gbit/s with a 256-bit interface at 448GB/s. So yes, it will be a cut-down 5700 and all specifications are exactly as predicted.

It will be. AMD will charge more if it's better/faster. However, if you want it for that price you better order it on 1/21/2020. If this card becomes an on demand card I can see retailers charging much more.

5500xt under 200$, 5600xt under 300$, 5700 under 400$ and 5700xt under 450$, are the absolute choices with those price tags for any gamer or regular user out there. AMD has no immediate worries.

Yeah if it trounces the 1660i in every benchmark review out there I can see a demand for it. When are the reviews?

Thats a very fair price for a card that should rival the 1660 Ti and possibly 2060.
