AFTER WHAT feels like an interminable wait for new affordable graphics cards, AMD has released the Radeon RX 7600, while Nvidia has unveiled the RTX 4060 series. The Radeon RX 7600 is aimed at 1080p gaming, and brings us an RDNA 3 GPU at $269 for the reference card. It had been expected to launch at $299, but then Nvidia announced its RTX 4060 would be $299. This was lower than rumored, so AMD shaved $30 off the price.
At its heart, the 7600 runs a Navi 33 GPU with 32 compute units, 2,048 shaders, 32 ray tracing units, and 64 AI cores. It has a game frequency of 2,250MHz, a maximum boost of 2,625MHz, 8GB of GDDR6 memory, and 32MB of Infinity Cache. There’s a 128-bit data bus, giving a memory bandwidth of ‘up to’ 288GB/s. This is directly comparable with the last generation RX 6650 XT, as it has the same core count. However, the 7600 is better at math, managing nearly twice the number of 32 and 64-bit operations. It has a power consumption of 180 Watts, drawing 165W, supplied by one 8-pin power connector.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
