AMD yesterday announced that the announcement of next-generation RDNA 2 graphics solutions, which belong to the Radeon RX 6000 series, is scheduled for October 28th. At the same time, it was not specified when the corresponding video cards would enter the market, although this should happen before the end of the year. Chinese sources are already publishing photos of early Big Navi samples.
In general, it was the absence of such leaks that was most embarrassing against the background of NVIDIA's activity, which increased by the end of August. Now AMD has decided on the timing of the announcement of its new video cards, there is not much time left before it, and newsworthy occasions should arise regularly. The first can be considered a not very clear photograph, which was published this week by a user of a Chinese resource. .
According to the author, it depicts a sample of one of the video cards of the Big Navi family. The meager data on the engineering sample labels indicate that it belongs to revision A0, and the video card model falls into the category of older ones (βXTβ). The presence of Samsung GDDR6 memory chips is also mentioned, which in this case form an estimated volume of no more than 16 GB according to the β3 + 3 + 2β scheme. This allows us to say that the video card has a 256-bit bus.
The cooler, more reminiscent of a processor, is quite typical for early engineering samples, as well as a lot of diagnostic indicators and connectors on the printed circuit board itself. A sample video card must be connected to the power supply using two eight-pin connectors, at least. The available photo does not allow judging more.
