The current rumor around town is that the Radeon RX 6650XT will launch soon to rival the best graphics cards out on the market. However, VideoCardz's freshly obtained information indicates that the Radeon RX 6650 XT might not be much faster than the current Radeon RX 6600 XT.
Despite all the leaks and whatnot, it remains a mystery whether the Radeon RX 6650 XT will use the same Navi 23 silicon as the Radeon RX 6600 XT. AMD probably won't refresh the die, meaning the Radeon RX 6650 XT should still arrive with 2,048 stream processors and 32 ray accelerators. In addition, we should expect the new Radeon graphics card to retain the same 32MB Infinity Cache.
According to the leaked specifications, the reference Radeon RX 6650 XT reportedly features a 2,410 game clock and a 2,635 MHz boost clock. The vanilla Radeon RX 6600 XT has a 2,359 MHz game clock and a 2,589 boost clock. So we're looking at a 2.2% improvement on the former and a 1.8% uplift on the latter.
The Radeon RX 6650 XT Hellhound comes with dual-BIOS support. The Silent Mode adheres to the reference specification, whereas the OC Mode operates with a small factory overclock. The Radeon RX 6600 XT Hellhound runs a 2,382 MHz game clock and 2,593 MHz boost clock in OC Mode. When in the same mode, the Radeon RX 6650 XT Hellhound reportedly functions with a 2,486 MHz game clock and 2,689 MHz boost clock, representing a 4.4% and 3.7% increase, respectively.
