6. AMD Radeon 6900 XT
Lisa: Thanks, Scott and Laura. The AMD Radeon 6800 XT and 6800 deliver simply incredible 4K and 1440p gaming experiences. This is the power of RDNA2. And once we add the smart access memory technology, gamers can even get higher frames per second when pairing Radeon 6000 GPUs with Ryzen 5000 CPU series.
Now I saw online that some of you were wondering which Big Navi product we previewed during our Ryzen 5000 launch earlier this month. For the record, that was the 6800 XT. But, you know, we always save the best for last; and I always get the most fun jobs. So today that means I have one more GPU to show you.
We didn’t stop with the Radeon RX 6800 XT. We knew that the RDNA2 architecture could give gamers even more. I’m so excited to share with you for the very first time the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. Now isn’t this just absolutely gorgeous. And you’ll see that it’s actually relatively compact for all the performance that it delivers.
It’s actually the same size as our 6800 XT card. Our top of the stock Radeon GPU is built for the ultimate in 4K gaming performance. The 6900 XT combines 80 compute units with a 2.25GHz boost clock to deliver even more performance at the highest settings. With 16GB of graphics memory, the 6900 XT is ready for the most demanding next-gen games.
And with the power efficiency of RDNA2, we’ve been able to deliver all of this with the total board power of 300 Watts. Now Laura showed you that we achieved a 54% generational improvement in performance-per-watt with the 6800 XT. With the 6900 XT, we improve things even more hitting 65% more performance-per-watt over 1st-Gen RDNA.
I’m so proud of our engineers who worked incredibly hard to optimize every aspect of our RDNA2 to achieve this performance. Now, let’s see how all of this translates to gaming performance.
Running at 4K with the highest settings, the 6900 XT looks absolutely fantastic. It’s extremely competitive across the board consistently delivering high frame rates in your favorite games.
Just take a look at the performance we see against the competition in Battlefield V, Call of Duty and Gears of War 5. All of this is at lower power with a smaller card form factor.
Now let’s talk about price and availability. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT will be available on December 8th, starting at $999.
You asked for AMD to bring the highest graphics performance to the gaming market, and we’re doing just that.
I hope you now feel that with the Ryzen 5000 series and the Radeon 6000 series, AMD is your best choice for your next-generation PC gaming platform.
Whether you want to gain with ultimate performance and AAA titles at 4K resolution, or you’re an eSports fan who needs incredibly high frame rates and responsiveness — across the board, for every gamer, at every price AMD has a CPU and GPU combination for you.
So I hope you’re as excited as we are. We can’t wait to get these products in your hands. So look for the Ryzen 5000 series starting November 5.
The Radeon RX 6800 series starting November 18, and the Radeon RX 6900 XT starting December 8.
This has been quite a journey for us, and I’m incredibly proud of our CPU and GPU teams. We have worked years for this moment. AMD is delivering the best to the industry. We want to thank all of you for your passion and enthusiasm, and for always pushing us to be the best.
