AMD prepares a Radeon RX 680 based on a Navi 10 GPU with GDDR6 memory
Everything indicates that AMD would be developing the AMD Radeon RX 680 based on a Navi 10 GPU, designed for the gaming sector and that would use GDDR6 memory.
The situation in the AMD graphics card market is critical. It has been announced that AMD cut Radeon's budget by more than 60%, in favor of the development of the Zen architecture, which gives life to the AMD Ryzen, in an extremely risky all or nothing move. Radeon, now, would be seeing compensated for that risky play, thanks to how well the Ryzen work. So much so that AMD would be working on the Radeon RX 680, which would be based on a Navi GPU and that would implement up to 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
AMD works on the RX 680 with Navi GPU and up to 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
This leak comes from TweakTown , who cites reliable industry sources. Although Navi is expected next year at the earliest, AMD is reportedly pushing hard to release a rumored RX 680 with this GPU as soon as possible, to compete with NVIDIA's solutions. According to the data, these new RX 680s will compete with the GTX 1080 Ti in terms of performance, but the most striking thing would be the price, as these new RX 680s would cost between $299 and $399. If that's the case, I'll buy two... if I can get them before the mining farms run out of stock.
But the company would not settle and it is that NVIDIA clearly launched a strong backlash, with GPUs based on the Volta architecture, which we already know is total madness, for the professional sector and should be a monster for the gaming market. AMD, after the launch of the RX 680 with Navi 10, they would go to death with Navi 20, for 2020-2021, and they should do it very well, because in 2020 it enters the game of gaming GPUs, Intel hand in hand scored by Raja Koduri.
Everything indicates that, after the failure, the problems and the high costs of HBM2 memories, AMD opted for GDDR6 memories, instead of HBM2, which would remain for the professional segment.
