Radeon RX 6600 is now official
Designed for 1080p gaming, the new RX 6600 is boasting a similar GPU die as the more expensive 660M XT. But, it has 28 compute units instead of 32 and is lower clocked at 2491MHz for the boost clock and 2044MHz and game clock. It also has a lower power consumption at 132 watts. |

It also has 8GB GDDR6 memory rated at 14 Gbps instead of 16 Gbps and a memory bandwidth of 224GB/s instead of 256GB/s. But, it has the same 32MB of high-speed Infinity Cache.
You will also find a PCIe 4.0 x8 instead of the PCIe 4.0 x16 on high-end AMD cards, but that's understandable since this is an entry-level graphics solution.
AMD is claiming that this has 8.93 TFLOPs peak single-precision performance.
Unfortunately, like the 6600 XT, the 6600 also uses the slower bus speed of PCIe 4.0 x8 unlike the PCIe 4.0 x16 used on the higher-end Radeon cards. This could cause performance bottlenecks in some applications.
The 6600 has a lower power rating compared to the 6600 XT at just 132W versus 160W.
International price with direct to PHP conversion (no taxes and duties yet):
AMD Radeon RX 6600 - USD 329 (around PHP 16.6K)
The Radeon RX 6600 is priced at just USD 329. Obviously, it will compete against the NVIDIA RTX 3060 with the same SRP. It will be available through board partners ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE, XFX, and Yeston
The card is available for purchase starting today.
