According to information from cowcotland, it seems that the AMD RX 6700 series transferred for end of the first quarter of 2021 instead of him January of 2021.
ΗAMD enjoys its success with architecture Zen, which allowed the company to direct resources to the research and development department of graphics, so that great progress, especially with newcomers RDNA2 graphics cards.
However, success comes at a cost, especially when has no a company its own chip production units and should to compete for capacity at TSMC with other customers who have a larger financial surface.
One might imagine that at present AMD's headquarters have a direct system of levers and pulleys that manages the distribution of chips in the TSMC: Pull this lever and increase the number SOC 7 nm for consoles next generation. Another lever may be related to Ryzen 5000 series. While another controls her production of graphics cards.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for all three levers to be activated at full speed at the same time. Somehow the balances have to be kept. The reported delay for the series AMD RX 6700 may be a result of over-expansion of AMD 7 nm lithography through TSMC.
According to information from cowcotland, it seems that AMD RX 6700 series transferred for the end of the first quarter of 2021 instead of January 2021. The RX 6700 series will be released with the chip Navi 22 AMD, which is estimated to be half of the full Navi 21 chip. This means that in the top configuration it will have 2560 flow processors (Stream Processors) and 40 CUs. The cards will be accompanied by 12 GB GDDR6 memory via 192 bit bus.
Logically, AMD is making such a delay in the release of the RX 6700 so as not to further dilute the production of Zen 3 processors or other RDNA 2 GPUs. Moreover the profit margins for the middle range 6700 will be much smaller compared to the 6800 and 6900, while AMD's relationships with other companies can not be jeopardized by possible problems in the production of SoCs intended for Sony and Microsoft for the new generation consoles.
Besides, it probably serves AMD better to produce a sufficient number of SKUs already on the market and demand is higher than production (RX 6000 series, Ryzen 5000) than to launch another product with possibly very limited availability relative to existing demand .
