AMD has today announced the expansion of the Radeon RX 6000 Series, which includes the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, their most powerful card in the family. All while Intel can't even give proper dates for Intel Arc…
No benchmarking or testing from me, as AMD don't provide any samples and they've repeatedly not added me to their press list which I've chased up yet again today.

From the press release:
"There are three billion gamers worldwide and counting, and about half play on PCs," said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. "As gamers grow in numbers, these new Radeon graphics cards will provide next-level gaming experiences and performance. And the incredible efficiencies of AMD RDNA 2 architecture deliver substantially better performance-per-dollar with the new Radeon graphics cards compared to the competition."
Global availability is expected today, May 10th 2022.

It's lacking a RX 6550 XT with 6 or 8GB of VRAM, in my humble opinion. There is a huge price and performance gap between the RX 6600 and the RX 6500 XT.

Good timing, just as I bought a rx6600xt a couple of weeks ago for 430€. It was difficult to keep waiting for upgrading my old gf660.
Unless the "new" cards are under the price that I paid, I don't care.
I't time to wait 5-10 years more unless they put a reasonable price. It's already 2x the price that I think its right for what we get.

Quoting: crt0megaLooks like you can buy the 6750xt and 6950xt on amd.com
Well, I just bought a 6750XT… I wanted a 6700XT for months (but it was always going out of stock while I waited in the queue) ^^’

I don't know ... I'm not interested anymore. Prices are always given in $ for the USA, and it's always way more expensive when we get them here. And VAT alone can't explain the difference. The cheapest 6950 (for example) I can find is 1500€. As long as prices in Europe keep being so much more expensive than MSPR, I don't think I buy anymore "gaming" component.

Also looks like you can buy THREE steams decks for the exact same price of a single GPU excluding the rest of the entire PC and sit and play couch co-cop with your other half or your friends and family. Sure they are different markets and some people like to sit in a room and play on PC monitor on their own sometimes, or play on the 4k TV with the settings maxed but it's just an interesting comparison.

That's not far off FOUR steam decks. If you factor in the rest of the PC that's going to be close to 6 Steam Decks lol.
It's going to be interesting when Valve finally release an RDNA3 steam deck with 6/8 cores - 12/16 thread Chiplet APU with some expecting a 200% increase in performance. Even if it is MUCH less like 35%-40% that's going to put it in line with a desktop gtx1050 Ti still. Not to mention other competitors who will want in on the lucrative handheld PC scene now that Steam OS 3.0 is a viable Free to install handheld gaming option for them.
There is definitely a huge market still for Desktop PC's and of course the graphics and general usability might be higher. But the steam deck does shake some things up a bit considering you can use it as a desktop PC for media consumption. And to be fair quite a few people are using MUCH slower ARM devices for this task. I wonder if the Deck will effect mid range gaming laptop sales at all going into the future ?

Good news is that RDNA2 cards are finally easily available and prices are getting close to normal:

RDNA3 cards are also coming later in the year.

I can definetly tell you that my main PC will become a backup plan for what's not playable on the Steam Deck (Steam streaming).
I never bought a gaming laptop because it's not that portable; I'v got an MSI workstation and I must bring the charger everywhere or the battery lasts for 45mins and I usually end up leaving it on the same table for this reason, thus defeating the purpose of portability. This and the fact that gaming laptops are on the heavy side... Nope the Steam Deck is a much better fit, imo. But that's just my personnal experience.
