A report originated from Cowcotland paints AMD as having ceased manufacturing on the Navi 10-powered RX 5700 XT and RX 5700. No reference or customized designs are at present being manufactured for both of those GPUs. AMD having ceased manufacturing on these playing cards is smart, contemplating the upcoming announcement for the RX 6000 collection scheduled for October 28th. This serves as a approach for the availability channel to maintain draining its provide of RX 5700 playing cards forward of the upcoming RDNA 2 options. Them being discontinued signifies that AMD is trying to change them – not less than price-wise – on their product stack.
Interestingly, it seems that the RX 5600 XT remains to be being manufactured – it is doubtless AMD decreased manufacturing of Navi 10 in order to feed solely this GPU, which ought to, as such, stay available in the market for a short time till AMD launches an RDNA 2 equal – if these are the corporate’s plans. TSMC capability is freed for added wafers for different AMD product necessities – which, with each Zen 3, next-gen consoles, and RDNA 2 all launching between the identical time-frame – ought to have a tendency in direction of infinity.
