It is said that AMD has stopped making its RDNA 2-based GPU, Navi 23³³. This is a big change. The RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, and RX 6650 XT³ all used this GPU. AMD is finishing up its RDNA 3 range, which means the end of the RDNA 2 era².
The 11 billion transistors that made up the Navi 23 GPU gave it 2048 stream processors and a 128-bit memory interface². The Radeon RX 6600, RX 6600 XT, and RX 6650 XT graphics cards from AMD used it². However, since the RDNA 3-based Navi 33 GPU was released, it makes more sense for AMD to stop making the Navi 23². It has 13.3 billion transistors, 2048 SPs, and works better than its straight predecessor.
It is said that production of the Navi 23 chip stopped with the Radeon RX 6650 XT². All AIB brands have stopped shipping, and by the end of September, almost all of them will have sold all of their stock. AMD is said to have stopped making only the full Radeon RX 6650 XT setup, but it seems likely that they have also stopped making Navi 23 GPUs and Radeon RX 6600-series graphics cards².
People think that AMD’s decision to stop making GPUs based on RDNA 2 is a smart business move. Now that all of the RDNA 3 models are sold, it makes sense for the company to focus on the new series². Not only does the RDNA 3-based Navi 33 GPU work better than its predecessor, it also has a smaller die size and is made on TSMC’s N6 process technology, which could make it cheaper to make².
It may seem like a loss that the RDNA 2 is no longer being made, but AMD needs to take this step in order to move forward. The RDNA 3 series looks like it will be a great replacement for the RDNA 2² because it promises to be much faster and more efficient.
In conclusion, the end of the RDNA 2 marks the start of a new age. We say goodbye to the RDNA 2 and look forward to the new things that the RDNA 3 line will bring²³.
