AMD Radeon - Nvidia out?

AMD's New GPU running the show!

   

So, AMD has launched its brand new GPU line: the Radeon 6000 series. Once again AMD has delivered on its price to performance ratio, much like its CPUs. AMD have launched 3 GPUs: RX 6800M, RX 6700M, RX 6600M. These are supposed to go head to head with Nvidia's RTX 3080, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 respectively. 

The Radeon works on AMD RDNA 2 architecture. The RX 6800M provides a 96MB AMD infinity cache along with a 12GB GDDR6 memory size. The RX 6800M GPU clocks at 2300Mhz and can be pumped up to 145+ W. 

But the main attractive and fascinating point about the Radeon 6000 series is the fact that it performance improves when it is paired with AMD Ryzen processors. The AMD smartshift is a feature which allows the system to balance the power distribution between the GPU and CPU according to the needs. 

AMD has seriously upped their game the last couple of years. And while the performance may not vary that much from that of Intel or Nvidia, the price points make all the difference. The Asus ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition is to be priced at around $1650, with a Ryzen 9 5900HX and Radeon RX 6800M, which is pretty well priced. Both Nvidia and Intel will have to seriously step up in this situation.
