I think a lot are likely to sell off their older GPU's and keep RTX3000 for the next wave.
You can pre-order now, stock due end of next week or early following week.
I would advise pre-order as the 6600 is a ONE OFF deal that is only open today to customers in UK, rest of stock then gets allocated to China which has huge demand for the product. Once this stock is gone the 6600 will be around the 279-299 mark.
The 6700 is a new product.
6600 XT and 6700 XT are end of life now, most partners have cleared their stocks and the 6650 XT and 6750 XT replace those and I suspect those will get price adjusted next month as the 6700 has really thrown a spanner in the works there been cheaper and faster than the 6650 XT in most games.
6700 is an exceptional 1440P card for the money.
Did you have any chance to see any benchmarks from the vendors? The 6700 does look like the potential mid-range king...
I am afraid not but look at the cores, memory interface and then clock speeds, it is evident it will perform around a 6650 XT in 1080P and slightly edging it out in 1440P I would imagine making it great value, a 6700 XT will give a slight performance boost in 1440P stuff but the 6700 will be very capable and at sub £400 its a solid performer.
Based on our USD if the pound was close to 1.40 this card could have potentially tipped the scales at £289, but a weak pound and silly shipping cost means it won't be sub £300 anytime soon, maybe we will get a new decent PM that will bolster our economy and bring prices down across the board, but at same time pigs might fly.

Why they can't see this lubricates the entire economy I don't know!One thing will fix it, cheap energy, everything else is increased if energy prices go up
I just think back to the time when I imported a $10,000 supercharger kit from the states and it cost me like £5200 landed in the UK, same thing today be around £14000, LOL.

Ah, sadly brexit meant that OCUK deals are nullified by shipping and VAT, otherwise I'd likely purchase from you guys again.
I did with an earlier 6600 deal but I got shafted both by bank exchange rate and customs, where they put VAT on shipping too (which wasn't VAT-free from the UK side unlike the card)...
I wish caseking did as good deals and service as OCUK but they are routinely worse than both OCUK and local italian shops.
I've had the exact same issue, ordered some second hand brakes from ebay shipping from Germany, yet UK customs charged me twice for the same package because it came in two boxes, in short they got £400 out of me for second hand goods and when attempting to dispute it, either pay or no delivery. So yeah Brexit has caused nothing but issues and a huge cost increase generally.
The 6700 looks like a great price.
No proper (print) reviews AFAIK, but TPU's GPU spec and estimator database has it right between the 6650 XT and the 6700 XT:

Since TPU haven't review it, it must be an estimate but only 7% slower than the 6700 XT (or about 4% faster than 6650XT).

That 6700 looks a good buy at less than the 6600xt MRSP. If AMD had launched the 6700 at that price instead of the of the 6600xt they would have had good reviews apart from the ray tracing performance. Then if they had put the 6600xt in place of the 6600 they would have had another set of good reviews. Nice prices for those who have waited
Anything on the 6950xt?
Well OcUK has sold 5000+ 6600 XT so I think for AMD the 6600 XT has no doubt done extremely well and sold 100,000's if not millions.
Imagine how many more gpus AMD might have sold if they had released the 6700 at the 6600xt price point earlier. It would certainly have reviewed better than the 6600xt, https://youtu.be/_tDYu5sBtFs?t=1522
My understanding is that this 6700 gpu die was sold in a mining card before it was sold in a desktop release to gamers, https://videocardz.com/newz/another...eon-rx-6700m-specs-2304-cores-and-10gb-memory
