AMD compared Radeon RX 6700 with overclocked GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - the former has performance per watt up to 33% higher

AMD released the Radeon RX 6700 graphics card four months ago, but the announcement was more of a formal one.
The manufacturer didn't report the performance data of the new product, but only added information about the card to its official website.
And now the company has decided to share some official data about its performance.Image source: VideoCardzWhich writes VideoCardz, Radeon RX 6700, despite the entry into the market, is in short supply.
There are no independent reviews on the web, so the data provided by AMD, in which the card is compared to a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, allow you to evaluate its gaming potential compared to competitors.
Recall that the Radeon RX 6700 is based on a cut down graphics chip Navi 22 with 2304 stream processors, 144 texture blocks, 64 rasterization blocks and 36 raytracing acceleration blocks.
Almost the same chip is used in the mobile Radeon RX 6700M for laptops.
In the reference version, the Radeon RX 6700 GPU's base frequency is 1941 MHz, the gaming frequency is 2174 MHz.
In Boost mode it goes up to 2450 MHz.
The novelty got 10 Gbytes of GDDR6 memory with 160-bit interface, 16 Gbit/s per pin and a bandwidth of up to 320 Gbytes/s.
It also features 80 MB of dedicated Infinity Cache memory.
Radeon RX 6700 power consumption is claimed to be 175W.

Image source: AMDRemind that NVIDIA recently introduced the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X memory, and Intel released its Arc A770 and Arc A750 graphics cards.
They are all in the same segment.
Perhaps that's why AMD decided to do a direct comparison between the Radeon RX 6700 and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The performance of the AMD gas pedal, based on the data provided, is at the level of the competitor.
At the same time, both models are inferior to the older Radeon 6700 XT.

Image source: AMDIt is curious that the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with overclocked GPU took part in the comparison test.
Manufacturers usually do not conduct such comparisons, pitting cards without overclocking against each other.
In the published data, AMD does not clarify whether the NVIDIA card was used with factory or manual overclocking.
However, the company does point out that the power consumption of the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 230W.
So we are not talking about the Founders Edition reference version, which has a claimed TDP of 200W.
AMD points out that the Radeon RX 6700 at 175W power consumption is up to 33% more favorable in terms of performance per watt than the overclocked GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but still provides the same level of performance.

Radeon RX 6700 graphics card appeared in Europe at the price from 380 euros

Sapphire became the first company to introduce the latest (and probably the last) model in the AMD family of graphics cards on RDNA 2 architecture - Radeon RX 6700.
For some time the novelty was available only in China.
Recently, however, the gas pedal was found in the range of some European stores.Image source: MEGAsizeGPUWith the announcement of Radeon RX 6700 kazus occurred.
Sapphire presented a video card in its version Pulse a week before the official announcement of AMD itself.
Herewith the partner of \"red\" named it in its own way, without RX prefix in the name.
To all appearances AMD was not happy with such arbitrariness and as a result Sapphire changed the name of video card to Radeon RX 6700.
In spite of this, the first batches of video cards have already been on sale under the made-up name.
However, the other day it was spotted in France and Spain, where it is offered for 570 and 580 euros including VAT, respectively.
The Spanish retailer PC Componentes is currently on sale, so you can buy the gas pedal for 380 euros.
AMD itself did not name the recommended price of Radeon RX 6700, so it is hard to say which of these price tags is closer to the real price.
Image source: PCComponentesThe appearance of the Radeon RX 6700 in Europe means that it is no longer a Chinese exclusive.
The latter was hinted at by the very quiet announcement of the card in general.
The company has not published any press releases or even reported the announcement on Twitter, but simply added the novelty to the database of its official site.
Image source: PC21.frThe Radeon RX 6700 is based on the Navi 22 XL graphics chip with 2304 stream processors, 144 texture blocks, 64 rasterization blocks and 36 ray trace acceleration blocks.
The reference version of the chip has a base frequency of 1941 MHz and a gaming frequency of 2174 MHz.
In Boost mode it goes up to 2450 MHz.
The card has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory with 160-bit interface, 16 GB/s per pin and up to 320 GB/s bandwidth.
It also features 80 MB of dedicated Infinity Cache memory.
The gas pedal consumes 175W.
For this purpose, it has one 8 pins auxiliary power connector.
The claimed specifications are fully in line with the specialized Sapphire GPRO X080 mining video card, which is devoid of video connectors.
Apparently, to make the card gaming, AMD changed BIOS for it and added external video outputs.Image source: VideoCardzTests Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 Pulse in 3DMark Time Spy show that it is about 10% faster than Radeon RX 6650 XT.

Rumor: AMD to release Radeon RX 6700 graphics card with 10 GB of memory on June 9

AMD will release a Radeon RX 6700 graphics gas pedal (without the prefix XT in the name), claims French publication Cowcotland.
The source shared images of the graphics card Radeon RX 6700 Pulse, which is preparing for release by Sapphire.Image source: CowcotlandFrench portal reports that the Radeon RX 6700 will be based on the Navi 22 XL processor with 36 processing units, which will include 2308 stream processors.
The mobile Radeon RX 6700M has exactly the same set of stream processors.
According to Cowcotland, the gaming GPU frequency of Radeon RX 6700 graphics card will be 2330 MHz, and the maximum - 2495 MHz.
It is also reported that Radeon RX 6700 will get 10 GB of GDDR6 memory with 160-bit bus bit width.
By comparison, the Radeon RX 6700 XT has 12 GB of memory with 192-bit interface.
Sapphire is going to release two versions of the Radeon RX 6700 Pulse.
Both will get one 8-pin connector for additional power.
The power consumption level of the card is not known yet.
Perhaps it will be around 200 W.Source image: VideoCardzThe publication also reports that the Radeon RX 6700 will go on sale on June 9.
The price in Europe will be about 570 euros.
