AMD plans to release Radeon RX 7700 & RX7800 in September
Last month reports circulated that ASRock had submitted new documentation concerning the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card to the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), seemingly in preparation for the introduction of a new graphics card based on the RDNA 3 architecture. Although it has been consistently suggested that the Radeon RX 7800 XT would feature the Navi 32 chip, subsequent reports have indicated that AMD may also be preparing a scaled-down version of the Navi 31 chip.
According to the latest from Moore’s Law is Dead, AMD has concluded the development of Navi 32 and provided fundamental drivers.
The Radeon RX 7800 XT, fitted with the Navi 32, will fully enable all computation units, possessing a total of 60 CUs, or 3840 stream processors, an Infinity Cache of 64MB, equipped with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, boasting a memory bus width of 256-bit, a memory speed of 19.5 Gbps, and a total card power consumption of 260W. The Radeon RX 7700 XT, also powered by the Navi 32, though reduced, will likely have a CU count ranging from 48 to 54, with VRAM reduced to 12GB, a memory bus width of 192-bit, and a memory speed of 19.5 Gbps. As for the scaled-down Navi 31 chip, it may be equipped with 70 CUs, although it remains unclear as to which product it will specifically be used in.
The Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT are slated to make their appearance at the 2023 Gamescom in Cologne, Germany (August 23rd to 27th, 2023), with AMD potentially planning to officially launch these products in September. Compared to Navi 31 and Navi 33, the Navi 32’s emergence has been somewhat tardy, which might be related to AMD needing time to clear the inventory of the Radeon RX 6800/6900 series graphics cards equipped with Navi 21.
Additionally, the Navi 32 will also serve as a high-end mobile GPU for gaming laptops, featuring in the Radeon RX 7800/7900M series. Currently, AMD has only launched the Radeon RX 7600/7700M series based on Navi 33, with the high-end model still resting at the Radeon RX 6850M XT.
