AMD Radeon RX 6800XT is an upcoming Navi 21 based graphics card based on the RDNA2 architecture. Various sources have already tried it and published their own test results:

Igor'sLAB

Igor Vallossik shared data from two different sources (percentage comparison and score comparison). He claims that the data was obtained from tests conducted by system partners offering AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards (likely ASUS, MSI or Gigabyte).

Wccftech

It looks like Wccftech got very similar results with Igor, also divided into two groups:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X takes first place in CPU Mark. According to AMD, with a 200 MHz higher clock speed and improvements to the Zen3 architecture, this processor will offer 19% better performance per dollar than the Intel Core i5-10600K in single-threaded tests.

PassMark recently updated its webpage with CPU Mark results. The Ryzen 5 5600X is the first Zen3 processor of the four SKUs announced. The 5600X scored 3495, while the top 10th Gen Comet Lake-S processor, the i9-10900K, scored 3177, meaning the average Ryzen processor delivers 10% better performance.

Compared to the Ryzen 5 3600XT, the updated Zen2 processor from the current generation all series scored 2833 points. This means the Zen3 successor is almost 23% faster.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X will cost slightly more than the Ryzen 5 3600X. The manufacturer has decided to raise the price of the x600 SKU to $299 ($50 more than the 3600XT at launch). Zen3 series processors will go on sale on November 5th.

AMD doesn't want the Radeon RX 6000 series to be sold to resellers

The demand for next-generation graphics cards is noticeably higher. Suddenly, everyone needs a new graphics card. Many more people have decided to upgrade to newer models based on smaller manufacturing nodes. NVIDIA was the first to announce its series GeForce RTX 30 «8nm amp"in September, and AMD followed 7 nm by technology RDNA2 almost 3 months later.

To avoid resellers from obtaining video cards and then reselling them at a much higher price, NVIDIA implemented captcha in its own official store. Later, the manufacturer decided to use third-party sellers to offer its version Founders Edition both in the USA and in Europe. But this only solved one problem, and demand still far exceeds supply.

Expected that AMD will also face huge demand for next-generation GPUs. After all, customers who want new graphics cards will buy any card that's available - and no one knows exactly when the series will RTX 30, will finally physically hit the shelves.

To avoid the same mistake that NVIDIA committed at startup Ampere, AMD sent out a document to its partners outlining possible measures to prevent resellers from receiving series cards Radeon RX 6000. YouTuber RedGamingTech received this document and it was shown in the video:

Upcoming series Ryzen 5000 based on architecture Zen3 It'll be out in two weeks. 

Flagship processor Zen3 under the code name Ryzen 9 5950X It has 16 cores и 32 threads. This is the first processor AMD for desktop PCs clocked 4,9 GHz and the first to overcome 641 single-threaded performance barrier in Cinebench R20.

With single core result 1605 points, Ryzen 9 5900X by about 9% fasterthan the processor Intel Core i9-10900K (1467 points). 5900 times - this 12 core processor, so it is not surprising that the result in multithreading is also higher: 12869 vs 10981 (17%). Ryzen 9 5950X compared with Ryzen 9 3950X "current generation" on 18% и 12% faster in single-threaded and multi-threaded tests, respectively.

AMD not yet confirmed availability 10 core processor Zen3. The manufacturer will officially release the processors on November 5th.

AMD Radeon RX 6000 based on Navi 21 XT with 320 W TBP, 6 Gb/s GDDR16 memory

AMD Navi 21XT will have TGP power about 320 W, rather than 255 W, as previously reported. The difference is due to incorrect use of nomenclature TGP (Full Graphics Power) as for AMDso for NVIDIA. These values ​​are not equal and do not represent the same thing (at least in this context).

The values ​​reported previously only reflected the GPU socket power (GFX, SOC и VDDCI). It's the complete opposite NVIDIA TGP, which represents the power consumption of the entire video card. However, the value 255 W reflected only the power of the card slot AIB, and not the power of the entire user video card.

Taking this into account, Ships 21 XT will have standard GPU power 235 W . Thus, the PTB (total board power) graphics card AMD Radeon RX 6000 on the base Ships 21 XT will be about 320 W . This number will increase to 355 W for custom boards.

There are also the first power values GPU for Ships 21 XL in a stripped down version. This model supposedly has TGP (or GPU power if you prefer) 203 W with the expected PTB at the level 290 W.

Memory Navi 21 16 Gbps GDDR6

Video card Radeon RX 6000 on the base Navi 21 will use memory modules Samsung 16 Gbps (K4ZAF325BM-HC16). This is a GPU and memory package from AMDoffered to board partners does not mean that AIB will rely only on memory Samsungbut this confirms that the specification was set to 16 Gbps.

Availability Navi 21

The first custom boards will be available in mid-November, with wider availability around the end of November. The board will be easy to work with as it resembles a circuit board in many ways Navi 10 (RX 5700). Most likely, this is due to 256 bit memory bus and its memory structure.

AMD is going to announce its graphics card Navi 21 28 October.

AdoredTV announced the test results SPECviewperf 2020 yet to be released workstation graphics card Nvidia RTX A6000. Map RTX-A6000 (on the base Ampere) on average by 11% faster than Frame RTX 6000 (on the base Turing), which is definitely not a significant performance improvement over its predecessor. But it's unclear whether the card performs worse or whether this is the true performance of a next-gen workstation card.

NVIDIA announced its professional video card RTX-A6000 earlier this month on GTC 2020 Digital. Last week the company confirmed it was discontinuing its brands Quadro и Tesla, as the gap between workstations and compute cards began to close. NVIDIA now offers professional cards A40, A6000 и A100, each targeting different markets. Only A6000 has a prefix RTX , indicating that this is an actual replacement Quadro workstation.

Like GeForce RTX 3080 и RTX 3090, Nvidia RTX A6000 equipped with a graphics processor GA102 Ampere. The GPU is a full-featured version with 10752 nuclei CUDA. The card also has 48 GB Memory GDDR6.

The manufacturer has not yet confirmed the exact launch date RTX-A6000, but plans to deliver the first cards in December. The company has not yet confirmed prices for this model.

Frictional Games now lists graphics Intel Xe HPG, recommended for her upcoming horror game called amnesia rebirth.

This is definitely a mistake. Do not panic, Intel did not release a new series of video cards without telling anyone. Frictional Games actually meant graphics Xe-LP. Even the minimum list of specifications Intel HD 630 (integrated graphics). So naturally the recommended specifications will say something faster (but not light years faster).

Intel Xe HPG is the next generation of discrete graphics that will appear in 2021 year. Intel has not yet provided any details about the series, but promised that the discrete graphics card from Intel will offer memory GDDR6 and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The manufacturer has confirmed that supplies Xe HPG will start at 2021 year.

Devices Intel Xe HPG will be offered until 960 execution units (7680 shading blocks), which means that they will be able to compete with the series NVIDIA Ampere RTX и AMD RDNA2.

Frictional Games will release amnesia rebirth tomorrow (October 20).

 

Intel also confirmed that the series will be produced by a third party and will cover the mid-range and enthusiast segments:

Upcoming low power mobile processors (~15W, configurable TDP from 10 to 25W) will be a mixture of processors Cezanne и lucienne. These codenames refer to the architecture used Zen, Thus, Cezanne based on Zen3, lucienne based on Zen2. This is a somewhat unusual configuration:

 

According to data published by ExecutableFix, the processors will see frequency increases of up to 200 MHz compared to its predecessor (series Ryzen 4000 under the code name Renoir). The GPU configuration is also undergoing changes. AMD adds more CU to some details. For example, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, which will have the same GPU configuration as 5800U (8 CU), as well as the same number of computing cores (8C / 16T). The only difference will be the architecture used Zen (Zen3 против Zen2). AND Cezanneand lucienne must use the same graphics Radeon vega on the basis of GCN.

They say it's "flagship" Ryzen 7 5800U It has 8 cores и 16 threads. This processor will have 8 computing units GPU with clock frequency 2,0 GHz. The CPU will have 16 MB L3 cache, which is twice as much as Ryzen 4800U и Ryzen 5700U (both 8C / 16T SKU based on Zen2).

It's interesting that all SKU in series Ryzen 5000U must support SMT, which was not the case with Renoir. The predecessor had three parts with disabled SMT.

According to the leak, AMD is about to launch a series AMD Ryzen 5000U on the base Cezanne/lucienne в 2021 year. Perhaps we'll hear more from AMD on "Virtual» CES 2021, perhaps with the arrival of the first laptops in the first quarter.

AMD Navi 21XT will have a clock frequency ~2,3–2,4 GHz, 250 W + TGP и 16 GB GDDR6 memory

There are reference samples with clock speeds up to 2,3 GHz, but there are also cards with a clock speed 2,4 GHz. However, these are models AIB. Shortened version (Ships 21 XL) should operate at a frequency of about 2,2 GHz, our sources say.

 

The big unknown is still the option XTX. It seems that Ships 21 XTX - exclusive AMD. Perhaps this is a version with a higher clock speed and more involved CUBut AIbs do not have additional information at this time.

Undoubtedly Ships 21 XT will Big Ships, which everyone is waiting for. The card to beat GeForce RTX 3070, but performance compared to RTX 3080 all is not yet clear. AMD published the first results of video card tests in the resolution 4K.

All three options (XTX, XT и XL) will have 16 GB GDDR6 memory via 256 bit interface. Map Big Ships must have a special cache, perhaps codenamed infinity cache, however, details about his work are still scarce.

TGP (total graphics power) 255 W more than likely for a custom option AIB. It is not known whether this same value will be used for the reference design, but it can be assumed that the version AMD with a clock frequency of 100 MHz below can use lower TGP.

AMD will present the series Radeon RX 6000 28 October.
