AMD Navi 12 GPU leak confirms some RX 5600 XT specs… but confuses others
A new AMD Navi 12 GPU has been spotted on the Compubench database, seemingly confirming some of the rumoured specs of the AMD RX 5600 XT. It’s rocking 36 RDNA compute units (CUs), suggesting that the new Radeon RX 5600-series card will appear with the same 2,304 cores as the AMD RX 5700 GPU released last summer.
Originally it was assumed that the RX 5600 XT was going to appear sporting a cut down version of the Navi 10 GPU, with fewer cores than the RX 5700 but more than the Navi 14 chip’s 1,408 cores. But recent leaks, primarily from add-in board (AIB) partner, ASRock, have suggested that the new Radeon will be shipping with the same core count as the lower spec 5700-series card, but with lower clocks and a different memory configuration.
As opposed to the 14Gbps GDDR6 memory used in both the RX 5500 XT and the RX 5700-series cards, the new RX 5600 XT - potentially launching at CES 2020 next week - will be using 12 Gbps memory, on a 192-bit memory bus.
