Entry-level RX 7500 specifications leak with 12% fewer Compute Units and slower memory vs RX 7600

[Redaktion]

AMD's cheapest RDNA 3 card, the RX 7600, has an MSRP of US$270. Folks that want something more affordable currently have no option but to shop for older GPUs. However, this might change with the RX 7500 specs of which have leaked out.

This misperception is created by comparing MSRP with a heavily discounted price to clear (not sustainable) inventory. In recent games the RX 7600 is aligned with the 6700XT in perf

8GB of VRAM implies a 128 bit bus, not 96, unless the card uses a mix of 2 and 4GB ram chips.

And likely we won't hear a peep out of hardly any of the tech tubers about the 96-bit bus. Because, price.
AMD fangirls can't have it both ways. They can't complain about Nvidia and then not complain about AMD for the same stuff.
You can argue price but some people feel that Nvidia offers a quality product over AMD. And that matters to consumers consumers.
If people want to buy cheap TV they can. If somebody wants to buy more expensive TV with the same specs then they can.
We've been giving our money away free to the government for so long that we forget the money we earn is really ours.

And then because of the climate change doomsday argument they want to say nothing's yours.

This looks like a laptop variant.
I believe the 4050 also is mainly laptop variant.
Has anyone seen 4050s that can be used in desktop computers. I haven't really bothered to look much into those low gpus.
Sorry, for any grammatical mistakes. I'm using voice to text.

Ideally, I'd like to see a fully-featured RX 7xxx card within the PCIe 75W bus limit and single slot, at whatever performance would fit within those bounds. Hey, maybe even a low-profile variant. Whether they call it a RX 7500 or RX 7400 wouldn't really matter.

This alone would differentiate it not only from all the RX 7xxx cards and RX 6400 it would replace, but might also actually compete with nVidia's 3050.

All existing 7xxx cards are dual slot and require more than the PCIe bus power.
RX 6400 is single slot, low power, low profile, but doesn't have encoders.
3050 and A380 are low power, even low profile, but dual slot.

Indeed, I would love this as a low-profile model for a do-it-all box that doesn't have a big PSU - currently only the 6400 is available (typically priced too high for what it is), the Geforce 3050 6 GB (which is crap), the Geforce 4060 (too pricy and power-hungry) or the Arc A310 and A380 (the last one is actually not bad).

...the Geforce 4060 (too pricy and power-hungry)...

115W is power-hungry? Specs: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4060-4060ti/

115W is power-hungry? Specs:

Low-profile cards aren't for your typical gaming/midrange situations, the 4060 performs well for the power it uses, but it's overkill and too power-hungry when you need a simpler/leaner GPU for transcoding or to upgrade a prebuilt machine with a low-capacity PSU (eg. a Dell Inspiron box of sorts).

The 3050 6 GB is just a lousy option, while the RX 6400 really doesn't cut it for anything.
