Within the occasion you are contained in the hunt for a mannequin new prebuilt desktop or laptop computer laptop, you could come all by means of an ostensibly new GPU lineup—AMD quietly added quite a lot of Radeon 600 assortment fashions to its web site. Attempting on the specs, nonetheless, all of them appear to be rebadged Radeon 500 assortment GPUs based completely on the corporate’s earlier know-how Polaris building, and in no way Navi.
There are 5 fashions in all. Correct proper right here they’re, together with the earlier know-how GPUs they align with:
