AMD launches the Radeon RX 6400, an entry-level graphics card for just €209

After last month’s rumors and numerous leaks that appeared in recent days, including photos of a modified version called Radeon RX 6400 Challenger at ASRock, we had no doubts about the imminent release of this Radeon RX 6400. The only thing that was missing was formalization and a release date from AMD to make this happen.

So it was yesterday afternoon that the American firm spilled the beans, yes the Radeon RX 6400 is a reality, it is now available at a price of 159 dollars in the US and still 209 euros in Europe† A rather staggering price difference, especially if you know that you will never find it for long at this price…

As a reminder, the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which was released in early March at the official price of €210, rarely trades below €250, even if it does not suffer from breakage. A price that was rightly judged as unaffordable compared to the performance offered.

Modest features pending concrete testing

Without being fundamentally bad, the Radeon RX 6500 XT got the ultimate bad buzz for being way too expensive for the performance on offer. Even before we test it, we are a little concerned about the reception of this Radeon RX 6400, which is intended to be even more modest at a price again above 200 €. The US price of $159, or about €142, seems much more consistent to us on paper.

Be that as it may, our VideoCardz colleagues were right when they announced the features of this tiny Radeon RX 6400. We thus find a Navi 24 XL type GPU engraved in 6nm, 768 cores, 16 MB cache, a base frequency of 2039 MHz (2321 MHz in Boos) as well as 4 GB GDDR6 at 14 Gbps and a bandwidth of 112 GB/s.

We are not going to ignite on the expected performance, we clearly should not expect Cyberpunk 2077 to run in 4K… On the other hand, in terms of consumption, this is a huge positive point, sinceit doesn’t need a secondary connector (just the PCI-E port is enough), and the TBP is only 53Wagainst for example 107W for the 6500 XT or 160W for a 6600 XT.
