Possible specs for the gpu radeon navi revealed

Some alleged AMD Navi specifications are circulating in the last few hours, which position a first model of this architecture with a performance between the RX Vega 56 and the NVIDIA GTX 1080.

AMD Navi 10 will have a TDP of 150 W and uses 8 GB GDDR6 memory

A few first specs are circulating about AMD's upcoming graphics cards. The leak indicates that the graphics card would have a performance between the RX Vega 56 and the GTX 1080, at a price of $ 259. This price would be somewhat cheaper than the recent GTX 1660 Ti, so AMD will compete strongly in that segment.

Like all leaks of this type, we have to take this information with tweezers. If true, this level of performance, and at that price, could be transformative for today's mid-range PC market.

For starters, AMD's well-known Navi 10 GPU is said to have a 150W TDP and use 8GB GDDR6 memory, offering 410GB / s of memory bandwidth with a 256-bit memory bus. These specs seem odd as it would put the GDDR6 memory speeds at 12.8 Gbps. On NVIDIA GDDR6 graphics cards, GDDR6 memory is typically available in 12Gbps, 14Gbps, or 16Gbps speeds.

Internally, Navi is said to be using a new version of the Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer technology that was already present in the Vega architecture and that saves resources in the pixel drawing process. In addition to Next Generation Geometry (NGG), which can reach 1.8GHz. The graphics card is also said to have twice the size of the L1 cache and 3.76KB of L2 cache.

If the performance and that price are true, it would be a hard blow for the GTX 1660 Ti, which costs about 279 official dollars (300 euros approx. In Spain). We will keep you informed.
