Editor Shows Radeon RX 6700 XT Logo: 12GB Graphics memory

On Twitter, a rather familiar-looking logo from AMD popped online; it holds the artwork logo for the pending Radeon RX 6700 XT.

The post comes from a familar face in the industry, Andreas Schilling, who in the past also has been revealing some GeForce logo artwork that was unannounced. It's no secret that the Radeon RX 6700 XT will launch in H1, maybe later in Q1 in March. This as much has been confirmed by AMD. We already knew that these cards based on Navi22 would get baptized with 12 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory; at least that has been a rather solidified rumor the past few months already.

We think that two new AMD graphics cards are scheduled. Radeon RX 6700 XT would be based on a NAVI 22 XT GPU, likely 40 CUs/2560 SP. The memory should total 12 GB at 192 bits. For the RX 6700, the same chip, yet reconfigured, used would be, NAVI 22 XL here the specs are a bit more of a grey area.

The 5700XT and the 2070 /S were fairly equivalent so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the 6700XT in that same neighborhood again.

Not that we can have any of these things.

we'll see but if those leaks are true it's too much of a cutdown,35% fewer shaders than 6800 and a 192-bit bus

3070 is just 5-7% slower overall

I'd like a card between 3060ti and 3070 with 12G and infinity cache but we'll see if that's realistic if navi22 is that cut down.I think many of those commentators on YT get it wrong when they compare taking ps5 gpu as the basis.a 2560sp navi could definitely match 3070 if it was powering a console,but desktop is another story.6800xt is just 30% faster here despite it's literally double the ps5 gpu.

I have been an AMD fan for a long time. My current main rig (and even some of my others) are all AMD. But right now AMD leads the way in producing things you cannot find or cannot afford (or maybe should not afford). I don't for a second believe this is all demand driven. That meaning I don't think the scarcity is from high demand alone. I think there are others factors, maybe like COVID but also because of scalpers and bots and probably other nefarious things. It's so bad getting anything AMD right now that I was thinking of switching to Intel when Rocket Lake comes out. I have a feeling those CPUs will be far easier to get and I think Intel (being behind the 8 ball now) will keep the prices on the lower end to be competitive.

If only there was a stock this would be my upgrade.

In Portugal there´s some minimal stock of the 6800 but the prices... More than 800€ for the cheapest 6800!...

Same here man. Even if the msrp will be 400$ for the 6700xt it will cost 600-700euros.
