According to a trustworthy leak, AMD's rDNA 2 desktop graphics cards will not be refreshed on April 20, but rather on May 10. The reason behind this remains unknown. The new cards are likely to include faster memory and potentially quicker boost clocks and tbp.



The Radeon RX 6950XT would now see the light of day in May. According to the information, three new models will be published on May 10th, rather than the originally mentioned April 20th.  All cards share the new memory standard of 18 Gbps. Higher boost clocks and board power remain options. The RX 6650XT has a new cooler design. It is now a dual-fan design rather than a single-fan design. As a consequence, it is compatible with almost all custom RX 6600 XT variations; nonetheless, this may have been essential to meet revised power and performance specifications for this SKU. The RX 6750XT, which now includes a third fan, is the same. Both MBA (made by AMD) models are quite likely to be accessible through the company's official store. This was not the case with the RX 6500XT reference design's single fan. An image leaked as well, all the cards now get a nice darker design.
