Specs and dimensions for AMD's new Navi 24 die have emerged, showcasing the smallest AMD die to that should power the upcoming RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT entry-level GPUs.

The only GPU you will be able to buy in 2022 will let you game at 1280x720!

I seriously feel that AMD need to rethink about the mid/low end cards in their lineup. They are seriously messed up with the low memory bus. At the top end, you get a full fat 128/ 96 MB cache that may mitigate some of the bandwidth issue, but not at the lower end.

In 2019, low end cards come with 128bit memory bus, and in 2022, they cut it to 64 bit with a meagre 16MB cache. These cards are not meant for high resolution gaming, I get it. But still, it is very limiting in my opinion, and will absolutely kills performance. Worst of all, AMD is limiting overclocking, which means you can't get away from the memory bandwidth shortage by trying to push the memory harder.

The bigger problem is the price structure. It wasn't too long ago that the top end AMD video card (Vega 64) was $500 and the mainstream performer (RX 580) was $250.

Fast forward to the current generation and the current "mainstream" 6700XT MSRPs at the same price as the former high end, and now $250 barely will get you an entry level card at MSRP. Now you're talking even lower end cards which I wouldn't want to think about running any game newer than 2018 which will likely sell for $175-$200, that should be unacceptable to everyone.

Price and demand - those same $250 cards from 2018 were already selling for that price in 2016 (RX480 8Gb) and are still pretty much the same price at the eve of 2022... The RX6500 XT will probably have the same performance as the RX580@1080p, so it will sell at the same price... It's been a nasty few years for GPUs now. Also, remember what's the low end at Nvidia's : the GT1030. You can't even play with it.

The cost of the transistor hasn't really gone down over the years and the cost to push to smaller nodes is getting worse.

That cost has to go somewhere.

The cost of transistor does go down, except companies are throwing billions of extra transistors at larger faster caches to better decouple CPU/GPU cores from memory latency and bandwidth bottlenecks, so overall cost still goes up.
