AMD’s trio of rumored RDNA 2 GPU refreshes could be delayed
AMD’s incoming refreshed RDNA 2 GPUs, of which there are rumored to be three new models led by a fresh flagship RX 6950 XT, have been pushed back slightly to May, rather than launching in April as the rumor mill initially theorized.
According to a new report from VideoCardz, its sources claim that the Radeon RX 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and 6650 XT are due to land on May 10 (rather than April 20, the previous launch date which was floated via the grapevine).
The tech site provides a leaked pic of the three new RDNA 2 graphics cards, as well, noting it’s from a trusted source, Disclosuzen, and this highlights another interesting nugget of info – that they will all be black edition models.
The aforementioned previous leak suggested that the RX 6950 XT alone could get the black paint job, looking just like the RX 6800 XT Midnight Black model, but in fact, all three of these GPUs will copy that exact same design (or at least that certainly looks to be the case from the image provided).
A final piece of this round of rumor spillage is that the existing RX 6400 budget graphics card, which is currently OEM-only, is set to be released as a standalone model on May 10 also.
This means that you’ll be able to buy it off the shelf (whereas at the moment, it’s currently only present in prebuilt PCs). VideoCardz didn’t mention anything about the purported RX 6300 which we heard about only yesterday.
Of course, all of this is just speculation, so we must remain skeptical about this trio of incoming GPUs. Assuming the previous rumor of an April launch was correct at the time it was circulated, the cards have now theoretically been delayed, and if that is true, it’d be no big surprise.
Delays happen all the time with hardware launches, and especially
