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.

I'm afraid these will just replace current 5000 at their prices, but the 6700 looks amazing on paper.
If only they'd lunch these at less than 350€, I'd very much do anything for a 6700 at 300€ but I know it won't happen.
