AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT will reportedly release on January 24th

Recently, we reported on speculation surrounding the release of the new Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs, including the Radeon RX 7600 XT. Recent rumors now suggest an imminent release on January 24th.

According to Benchlife (via VideoCardz), the card will be released in late January, more specifically, January 24th, a date that may put it in close proximity to one of Nvidia's rumoured RTX 40 Super series graphics cards, which are also expected to debut in January.

The RX 7600 XT variant is scheduled to launch more than seven months after the non-XT variant. The reason behind AMD's decision to wait remains unclear. However, the market for this price tier is currently competitive, posing a challenge for introducing new models, particularly with the high prevalence of last-generation AMD RDNA2 and Nvidia Ampere models.

Leaked information from September suggests that the RX 7600 XT may come in two variants, featuring either 10GB or 12GB of VRAM. The specific model AMD will choose, or if both versions are planned, remains unclear. What is important to note is that AMD cannot increase the core count in the Navi 33 GPU beyond its current limit of 2048 cores, which is the configuration used by the RX 7600. As such, AMD may opt for the Navi 32 with a reduced core count. This may explain the delay in the card's release.

While non-XT versions of the RX 7800 and RX 7700 were spotted on recent EEC listings, Benchlife claims that there are no plans to release these variants.
