This change is anticipated to be favorable for board partners, who have often observed AMD's focus on reference models during product introductions. As a result, the custom designs will be the primary focus for reviews and evaluations, differing from the RX 7600's launch approach that featured a reference model mainly for testing. The introduction of the RX 7600 XT occurs more than seven months after its predecessor, the non-XT variant. The reasons behind this extended interval, especially in the competitive $300 price range, remain speculative. The market in this segment is currently dense with robust options, including AMD's previous generation RDNA2 and NVIDIA's Ampere models.

Information leaked in September indicates the possibility of two versions of the RX 7600 XT, with memory capacities of 10GB or 12GB. The specific model or the availability of both versions is not yet confirmed
