In line with a report by Phoronix earlier this morning, AMD is growing one other Navi 24 graphics card. A brand new set of AMDGPU pulls requests had been submitted yesterday for inclusion within the upcoming Linux 5.19 kernel, that includes a brand new Beige Goby SKU (Gadget ID 0x7424). The ID is model new and has by no means been seen earlier than, suggesting it is a new SKU from AMD.
The one information confirmed from this system ID is that it will likely be a Beige Goby GPU for the reason that system ID quantity follows the identical numbering scheme as earlier GPUs below the identical codename. For reference, the Beige Goby codename represents AMD’s entry-level Navi 24 GPUs, such because the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400.
Consequently, we will anticipate this new GPU to be a refresh of the RX 6500 XT or RX 6400, or it might be a brand new GPU mannequin altogether, which is able to most definitely be the case. If that is true, it ought to fill out the position of an RX 6300 with efficiency a tier below the RX 6400.
Specs can solely be speculated at this level, however AMD has already made a cellular variant referred to as the RX 6300M, so we will make some educated guess from that perspective. The RX 6300M is presently AMD’s naked backside RX 6000 collection GPU, with specs which can be similar to built-in graphics options such because the Radeon 680M.
In comparison with the RX 6400, the 6300M shares similarities in core depend, with 768 in all. Nevertheless, reminiscence bandwidth, infinity cache measurement, and clock speeds are closely neutered compared. The RX 6300M solely comes with a peak sport clock of 1512MHz and no enhance clocks. Infinity cache is available in at a measly 8MB and reminiscence bandwidth peaks at simply 64GB/s with a capability of 2GB.
If AMD turns the 6300M right into a desktop variant, it should most likely share lots of the identical similarities as its cellular counterpart and doubtless be AMD’s slowest desktop RDNA 2 GPU.
Nevertheless, suppose AMD can preserve the ability consumption below 30W because it has with the 6300M. In that case, a possible RX 6300 desktop card might be an ideal choice as a {hardware} acceleration GPU or a multi-monitor succesful GPU for very outdated or tiny pre-builts with small energy provides. Nevertheless, we would not anticipate any severe gaming to occur on a GPU that can most likely rival built-in graphics options.
