Rumor: AMD Radeon RX 6700 will arrive with 12GB of GDDR6 Graphics memory
AMD just released its Radeon RX 6800 series graphics cards, but obviously, a Radeon RX 6700 is in the making as well. A rumor popped up on the web indicating that the Radeon RX 6700 will be based on a NV22 XT and NV22 XTL GPU.
The AMD Navi 22 silicon would get 40 Compute Units, times 64 is 2560 shader processors, the same cores as we see in the Radeon RX 5700 XT but with the RDNA 1.0 architecture. The Radeon RX 6700 could be configured at 2304 Stream Processors, which is the same number of cores present in the Radeon RX 5700.
Tied to 12 GB of VRAM, the two cards will have a rather limited 192-bit memory interface but we expect some sort of L3 cache in the GPU here as well, as RDNA2 has that as a marker on its architecture. Power consumption would be about 186 to 221W for the XT and between 146 and 156W for the common. The info originates from Patrick Schur, considered a 'reliable source' for leaks.
These GPUs would be announced in January.

Nvidia had similar prices back then. Also a "cheapo" architecture? Actually, how do u make a "cheap" architecture at all?? or were those chips 1/2 the physical size of a nv3060/rx6700??
How comes the top 2 GPU companies in the world have not made any performance/price improvement in the 100-300 price bracket for the last 3 years, but they did in the 800-1000 one?
"Moore's law" is crying in its grave (cuz lets face it, it died 10 years ago).

and I still don't feel so bad getting my 2070s at just a bit under $500 back in June.

Well there's no definite answer to that.
The price of midrange gpus definitely shifted upwards overtime. It can be for many causes . Inflation, COVID-19 etc etc . But also it can be due to companies' syndicated effort to generate more revenue.

I'll just drop this here (source: Wikipedia)
May 2017
$99 USD
Radeon RX 570 (Polaris20 XL)
April 18, 2017
$169 USD
Radeon RX 580 (Polaris20 XT)
April 18, 2017
$199 USD (4 GB)
$229 USD (8 GB)
These are also GCN based, which AMD made specifically to be cheap. There are still decent alternatives now around these price points in the current market.
