AMD announced this week that it will hold a presentation on March 3, announcing new desktop video cards. The GPU manufacturer did not disclose any concrete details, but the file name of a video on the AMD website indicated that the company would show video cards with Navi 22 GPUs. That suggested that AMD would unveil its RX 6700 series.

French tech site Cowcotland writes that AMD was indeed planning to announce an RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT on Wednesday, but claims the company has delayed announcing that first model for the time being. Furthermore, the medium states that the availability of the RX 6700 XT is limited; in France there are said to be about 100 reference maps available. That number excludes modified models from other companies, although only a limited amount is expected, the medium writes.

Rumors have been circulating for some time over de RX 6700-serie. The XT variant would be a fully activated Navi 22 GPU with 2560 streaming processors and get 12GB of GDDR6 memory. The RX 6700 XT would reportedly be become available in two variants, each one a different total graphics power although this has not yet been confirmed. Less is known about the RX 6700, but a listing with the Eurasian Economic Commission suggests that the video card has 6GB of video memory. Both video cards are also expected to receive Infinity Cache, although the amount of this is still unknown.
