AMD Allegedly Preparing Refreshed 6 nm RDNA 2 Radeon RX 6000S GPU

AMD is allegedly preparing to announce the Radeon RX 6000S mobile graphics card based on a refreshed RDNA 2 architecture. The new card will be manufactured on TSMC’s N6 process which offers an 18% logic density improvement over the N7 process currently used for RDNA 2 products resulting in increased efficiency or performance. The switch to the IP compatible N6 node should also improve yields and shorten production cycles allowing AMD to remain competitive with new cards from NVIDIA and Intel. We have limited information on this alleged card except that it will likely be announced in early 2022 at CES and that AMD may also release discrete RX 6000S series desktop graphics cards.
