THIS IS NOT a great card to be writing about, unfortunately. AMD's low-end budget model is something of an oddity. It comes with a rather lackluster launch all things considered-on its own, solo, in Q1. Where Nvidia is launching multiple Supers, and redefining its entire GPU range, AMD has launched this. Admittedly, Team Red did provide us with the more impressive 7800 XT and 7700 XT late last year, but those had a bit more gumption than this thing does.
Let's take top-line stats first. The RX 7600 XT is based off of the RDNA 3 architecture, manufactured by TSMC on its slightly older N6 manufacturing process, and features a 7nm transistor size. By default, it clocks in with 2,048 stream processors and touts a maximum clock speed on paper of 2,755 MHz. On top of that, you get 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, and it's rated at 190W of power. It's also on a PCle 4.0 x8 bus, (although we suspect this is more to do with marketing, as that's effectively the same as a PCIe 3.0 x16, but allows you to label it up as a PCIe 4.0 card).

Intel's crazy plan for 1nm silicon
FIVE NEW CHIP PRODUCTION NODES in four years. That was Intel’s plan to get back to technology leadership. It has now added a new 1nm lithography node to its roadmap, due in 2027. But here's the thing: in terms of products to buy, Intel has achieved little of its original plan. So, what’s going on?
