AMD might release Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card in January
AMD is rumored to launch the Radeon RX 5600 XT in January. The graphics card is expected to feature 6GB of GDDR6 memory and a 192-bit bus, intensifying competition in the budget segment.
According to recent rumors, AMD will equip the new card with six gigabytes of GDDR6 video memory.
While the company has released graphics cards with "non-standard" VRAM capacities before, a 192-bit bus is truly a rarity for AMD. NVIDIA is usually the one seen employing such unusual configurations.
⤢ ВІДКРИТИNevertheless, the leak suggests the Radeon RX 5600 XT will feature a 192-bit memory bus and 6GB of GDDR6. Based on these potential specifications, we can infer that we're looking at a slightly cut-down version of the Navi 10 chip, which already powers the higher-end RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT series graphics cards.
Most likely, AMD has accumulated a sufficient number of somewhat flawed or entirely defective dies, and the company has finally decided to utilize them in a relatively budget-friendly product.
Moreover, according to the rumor source, several of AMD's manufacturing partners have indirectly confirmed the RX 5600 XT.
In any case, January isn't far off, and if these leaks prove true, the graphics card market in the $200-$300 range is about to get extremely competitive.
