The Red team promised to launch the Navi 23 desktop CPU by the first half of 2021, however, they have not technically because even though they have launched a lot of Navi 23 GPU in the market but not for desktops.
In the meantime, some reader of Videocardz has tipped the actual render of the upcoming Radeon RX 6600 XT. The reader claims that the graphics card seen in the picture below is the press photo of the upcoming commercial Navi 23 GPU.
The render looks legit because of the fact that it looks very similar to the one already presented by AMD at CES 2021. At this event, AMD promised to launch new desktop and mobile RDNA2 graphics solutions throughout 2021 maybe with both dual-fan and single-fan designs.
However, thanks to chip shortages, we have only got the Radeon RX 6700 XT based on Navi 22 GPU in March, whose stock is also very poor. Last month, they announced the laptop Navi 23 GPUs like the Radeon RX 6600M, Radeon Pro W6600, and Radeon Pro W6600M graphics solutions.
This new render shows the GPU to be a really one, possibly in a Mini-ITX form factor with a single 8-pin power connector. Also, we have the a black and silver design along with a red accent on the side, similar to what we have seen with the existing RDNA2 lineup.
It makes sense for these leaks now because we have seen these RX 6600 GPU leaks leaked by Gigabyte or via AMD drivers. Apart from sporting the Navi 23 GPU, the Radeon RX 6600 XT will feature 8GB GDDR6 memory while the specs of the non-XT variant are not yet confirmed, but it would probably sport either 4GB or 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
The AMD Navi 23 GPU sports up to 2048 Stream Processors and offers a 128-bit memory bus, the same used on Tesla’s new infotainment system for updated Model S. So, a full-fledged Navi 23 GPU could deliver around 10 TFLOPs of single-precision compute power requiring only 100 Watts of power.
