General
Radeon RX 6600 and 6600 XT are now listed on PowerColor's website.

AMD's full lineup of RDNA 2 GPU stacks has yet to be seen, with the Radeon RX 6600 XT and RX 6600 still positioned as up-and-comers. While the specs are fairly well known, these two GPUs have yet to be officially announced, despite the fact that they are scheduled to be unveiled in the first half of this year. They have, however, been spotted briefly on the PowerColors website. The page in question has since been removed, but only after VideoCardz took the first few pictures.

PowerColor's site only listed GPU families, the RX 6600 XT series and the RX 6600 series, with no details alongside these holding pages, which PowerColor seems to be particularly fond of at the moment: Hellhound, If you want a graphics card called Liquid Devil or Red Devil, you know where to go.

Despite this lack of information, the fact that these GPUs are listed suggests that an official launch is imminent. And we now hope that more affordable graphics cards will enter the market. Since both chips are fairly well-known at this point, the fact that no clear specs were offered is not much of a problem.

The reason we are confident in these specs, even though we have not received any official information from AMD, is that AMD has released mobile versions of the Radeon RX 6600M and Radeon Pro W6600. And AMD has been publishing the specs for these GPUs on their site since their announcement.

The only reason we haven't seen a desktop spin on the Navi 23 yet seems to be the lack of silicon. The crackdown on crypto mining in China seems to have made the situation less bleak than it used to be, but graphics cards are still being affected.

So while we know the key specs, we don't know the price: the RX 6800 is $569 and the 6700 XT is $479, which should be much cheaper given that they are scaled-down versions of these GPUs. [But given that AMD saw no problem charging $479 for the Radeon RX 6700 XT, it is clear that they are trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the RX 6600 XT and RX 6600.

Ideally, these would be in the sub-$300 range, but we'll have to wait and see about that.
