AMD unveiled its new Radeon RX 5700 line of graphics cards with 7nm chips at E3 last month, and with just days to go before they launch on July 7th, the company has announced new pricing. The standard Radeon RX 5700 with 36 compute units and speeds of up to 1.7GHz was initially announced at $379, but will instead hit shelves at $349 -- the same price as NVIDIA's RTX 2060. The 5700 XT card that brings 40 compute units and up to 1.9GHz speed will be $50 cheaper than expected, launching at $399 -- lower than the $499 2070 Super.

So why this 1960s Mustang shell? Well, Charge knew it would be a head-turning project. The car's enormous size, though, also made it easier to squeeze in all of the necessary EV components. Plus, Charge's version is effectively a brand-new car powered by modern and, hopefully, more reliable components.
