After seeing the 4GB RX5500 being up to 70% faster on 4.0x8 vs 3.0x8, I'd say a 4GB RX6500 which has much higher raw compute with only 4.0x8 is probably a no-go vs anything with comparable compute and either 4.0x16 or 6+GB of VRAM. Looks like the 3050 will have both.

As for the 3050, my expectations were 4GB non-Ti and 6/8GB Ti. If the desktop versions do end up being GA106, then it could be 4GB base, 6GB Ti and 8GB Super.

In any case, I fully expect to be disappointed by outrageous MSRPs.
