Leak: ASRock Radeon RX 5600 video cards likely get 6GB of graphics memory
While AMD is close to release the 5500 series, new info popped online on the RX 5600 series, apparently with 6 GB of graphics memory. ASRock referenced the series RX 5600 and RX 5600XT at the Eurasian Economic Commission. An Asus reference calls RX 5600 cards with 8 GB.
Twitter user @KOMACHI_ENSAKA has referred to the aforementioned entries on ASRock models . The product names deposited by ASRock Europe suggest that the upcoming Radeon RX 5600 and the faster version Radeon RX 5600 XT each have 6 GB video memory. If this is true, a 192-bit wide memory interface would be plausible of course.
So the ASRock’s are listed as Challenger and Phantom series RX 5600 being a 6GB model, same as RX 5600 XT. However there is an oddity as similar data submitted by ASUS shows and lists 8GB models, and then Gigabyte 6GB again. So the entry for ASUS might be faulty. For ASUS the DUAL EVO, TUF EVO and ROG STRIX series are listed. It is still unclear which GPU is used in the RX-5600 series. A full configuration of Navi 14 or a slimmed-down variant of Navi 10. Ultimately, Navi 12 could serve as a good mainstream product. The RX 5600XT would be released early next year, perhaps in January.

When does a 5800XT appear as competitor of the 2080Ti performance class ?

6 GB 192-bit will still outperform 8 GB 128-bit more than likely. However with four different models all releasing inside 2 months it'll be interesting to see how pricing ends up.

Well, that's for reference model.
Partners could easily fit 2 GB more on that model, and have a good card on their hands which will sell pretty well, provinding good FPS at a reasonable price for its own category.
No, they can't.
This is a 192 bit card which means it needs to feature 6 Memory Modules.
So you either go with 3gb, 6gb or 12gb.

Well, that's very helpful.
Just didn't know how the memory chips are distributed proportionally related to the bus width.
