This fully enabled Big Navi based chip has a whopping 26.8 billion transistors. It does that by numerous architectural improvements, but sure, increasing transistor real-estate comes into play as the shader processor count has nearly doubled up over last generational products. For raytracing, the number of hardware-accelerated Raytracing cores is set up in a 1:1 creation towards the CU count, so that's 80 for the 6900 XT. Today we put the flagship Radeon Radeon RX 6900 XT to the test, a product that will cost you 999 USD and for comparison, the RX 6800 XT costs 649 USD, the Radeon RX 6800 costs 579 USD with performance levels matching the completion RTX 3070 running up-to that RTX 3090. The cards are PCIe 4.0 interface compatible. The GPUs are fabricated on an optimized 7nm node derived from TSMC. They all hold the same GPU, just binned and somewhat 'weakened' to create a lineup. The current triplet of AMD 6800/6900 graphic cards are all based on the very same GPOU, Big Navi. And that did set the trend for the desktop graphics card we see announced.

Microsoft and Sony consoles embedded with AMD technology revealed that Raytracing was going to be supported. As the graphics landscape changed somewhere done the line, so this the roadmap for AMD change.
AMD 6900 XT SERIES
NVIDIA was pioneering two years ago with their RTX 2000 series already, AMD made the call to delay that for the original Navi GPU. Or, I should say hybrid DirectX Raytracing (DX-R). In the world of graphics technology, a new dynamic was added, Raytracing. Q4 was here, and AMD presented its RDNA2 based technology.

These are an exhausting time for everybody in this industry. And then, in Q4, everything that has been delayed got announced and released. Man, that a year it has been, everything came to a halt with the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiply that with 64 shader processors per unit, and your math ends up at 5120 shading/stream processors based on the new RDNS2 architecture, paired with that new 元 cache to help ou that 256-bit wise memory bus used for the 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.
AMD 6900 XT FULL
The Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 graphics card is the mac daddy of this trilogy it has the full 80 CUs (compute units) enabled. Everything about this product already has been said and stated however, reviews have been lacking as AMD decided for a letter launch for this 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 card towards today. We review the king of the new Radeon RX 6x00 lineup from AMD. Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this? Yes, the lyrics (Another One Bites The Dust - Queen) from that song fit even better when you place it in a king and queen fashion.
