AMD completes launch of Radeon RX 6700, a middle class graphics card which could arrive on June 9 and that, as we told you in the title, will be an improved version of the GPU used by the PS5.

The comparisons are disgusting, but necessary in this case. Let’s take a look at possible specifications of Radeon RX 6700 and GPU PS5 to better understand why we consider the former to be an improved version of the latter.

It is important to keep in mind that in addition to the differences that can be seen with the naked eye, you need to keep in mind that the PS5 GPU shares a package with the CPUand which he uses unified memory systemwhile the Radeon RX 6700 has no first limitations and has its own memory subsystem independent of the computer’s RAM system.

Radeon RX 6700 specifications

• Navi 22 XL graphics core manufactured at 7 nm with 17.2 billion transistors.
• Its encapsulation occupies an area of ​​336 mm2.
• 36 computing units.
• 2,304 shaders at 2,495 MHz.
• 144 texturing units.
• 64 raster units.
• 36 cores to speed up ray tracing.
• 160-bit bus.
• 10 GB GDDR6 memory at 16 GHz.
• 80 MB infinite cache.
• FP32 power: 11.49 TFLOPs.
• 200W TBP.
• Possible price: around 500-550 euros.

PS5 GPU specifications

• Oberon graphics core made by 7nm process.
• It shares a package with the Zen 2 CPU. Both are integrated into a case that occupies 308 square mm.
• Sony has not confirmed this, but all seems to indicate that the PS5 APU is adding 10.3 billion transistors.
• 36 computing units.
• 2,304 shaders at 2,233 MHz.
• 144 texturing units.
• 64 raster units.
• 36 cores to speed up ray tracing.
• Unified 256-bit bus.
• 16 GB 14 GHz unified GDDR6 memory, used for system and graphics.
• It lacks an infinite cache.
• Power in FP32: 10.29 TFLOPs.
• 180 Watt TDP shared with CPU.

The differences are very clear, not just the Radeon RX 6700 is strongeralso represents construction more balanced thanks to the integration of 80 MB infinite cachewhich allow it to better withstand the 1080p and 1440p resolutions and has the advantage of having its own TBP of 200 watts.

That would be exactly the level that the Radeon RX 6700 would target, users who play in 1080p or 1440p, even though I think the price they were talking about is too high for what it offersIn fact, it would end up stepping on a more powerful Radeon RX 6700 XT. This model should fit a maximum of 450-500 euros. The performance should be more or less at the level of GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in rasterization and below that in ray tracing.
