Amd launches new radeon rx 560 xt only for china

In the glorious days of ATI Radeon, the XT nomenclature was used to name an improved variant based on the same silicon, for example the Radeon HD 2900 XT. After the acquisition of AMD, XT, Pro, XL and other lesser-used extensions such as XTX and All-in-Wonder were no longer used. That is about to change. AMD will launch the China-specific Radeon RX 560 XT.

AMD Reuses XT Nomenclature

AMD uses the XT nomenclature again, and it does so with the RX 560 XT graphics card . This new GPU, which comes out only for China, is located (in terms of performance) between the 4 GB RX 560 and the 4 GB RX 570, based on Polaris silicon, although we do not know exactly if it is based on Polaris 20 or Polaris 30.

AMD allowed 28 of 36 NGCUs on this silicon, resulting in a configuration of 1, 792 Stream Processors, 112 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The memory is 4 GB through a 256-bit memory interface, although the memory clock speed is reduced to 6.6 Gbps (211.2 GB / s). Apparently there will be no reference graphics card for this RX 560 XT, and the consumer-facing launch will be made by the manufacturing partners, with their own custom designs.

RX 560 XT is much faster than RX 560

In this comparison we clearly see what is the advantage of this graphics card with respect to the non-XT model, perfectly positioning itself between the performance of the RX 560 and 570.

The RX 560 XT comes out exclusively for the Chinese market. We do not know for sure if it would end up launching in the West, but we will keep you informed.
