Data leakage from the first RX 6800 XT processor, over 2.5 GHz!

It is only a few days before AMD finally shows it to us a new generation of graphics cards with which it aims to compete face-to-face with NVIDIA Ampere almighty, so the leak and new data do not stop appearing and will remain until official launch time, as always happens. Now comes data for what could be a file for ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 6800 XT, at an astonishing speed of operation 2.5 GHz but with TDP also looks shot.

Of course, the new data is based on the original engineering samples that some lucky ones have access to, but in this case it seems to be related to a non-AMD sample sample, but in this case the ROG STRIX model from ASUS, which in fact comes with a different heatsink and a different speed than AMD identification models. .

RX 6800 XT «Big Navi», over 2.5 GHz but with 290W of use

The fact that this data is based on engineering samples could mean that the speed of operation and consumption of food is not what we will see later when these graphics cards are on the market (possibly also), but it gives us a good idea. of the capabilities of these new AMD chips. In this case, the drawings are ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 6800 XT and from what appears to have been tested three different programs with 3DMark 11, in all cases with variable clock speed (although it indicates that there has been a problem with drivers in this regard).

Officially, the source indicates that the RX 6800 XT operates with TGP set at 290 watts, while its 1000 MHz on a memory clock represents 16 Gbps of bandwidth.

In any case, we can see the impressive speed of the first system far exceeding the 2.5 GHz, but also its most active counterparts. Of course, we must remember that by mid-2020, the benchmark 3DMark 11 We can’t look at it as a huge burden of the modern GPU and therefore allow the GPU to be able to increase its speed in its high speeds, but it is not something that will happen in real situations, at least not normally.

On the other hand, as we have seen in the past few days, it looks like we will see two different TGPs in Big Navi (or Navi 21) graphics from AMD compatible with these RX 6800 XT, with 290 and 255 watt models. This difference may be the line of AMD overulsions that will provide its compilers, but we must keep in mind that even TGP’s 290W GPUs, in the end use you will be close 350 watts.
