AMD Radeon RX 6950XT tipped for April launch

Not long ago, a prominent AMD leaker claimed that a Radeon RX 6x50XT refresh would be coming this Summer. However, according to a new report from a different source, it seems we may see the first refreshed GPU as early as April, starting with the RX 6950XT. 

According to Coreteks, AMD will release the Radeon RX 6950XT as soon as mid-April. Additionally, it is also claimed that this will be the only refreshed GPU.

6950XT is planned for mid-april. There's no 6850XT etc as far as I know ?

Many rumours claim the RX 6×50 XT will feature 18Gbps GDDR6 memory, an upgrade from the 16Gbps used in all other RX 6000 series SKUS (except the RX 6500 XT and the liquid-cooled RX 6900 XT). Others also thought AMD would use 6nm-based GPUs, but Moore's Law Is Dead has already confirmed that won't be the case.

The Radeon RX 6950 XT will only feature a 12.5% memory speed increase if these rumours are true, which likely means we can expect similar performance to the liquid-cooled RX 6900XT graphics cards.
