AMD Radeon RX 7900 series graphics cards are rumored to be available in early December

AMD will host a special live event called “together we advance_gaming” on November 3, 2022, to unveil the next generation of Radeon graphics cards. AMD executives will then detail the high-performance, high-efficiency RDNA 3 architecture that provides gamers and content creators with new levels of performance, power efficiency, and functionality.

It was previously reported that the Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards with Navi 3x won’t be available until December, which is similar to the situation with the Ryzen 7000 series. Recently, Twitter user @greymon55 revealed that AMD originally planned to release the Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards around November 27, and then decided to delay it for about a week, probably between December 1 and 5, but it was not for technical reasons.

It is rumored that the next-generation Radeon RX 7000 series will first debut with Navi 31-equipped products. The Radeon RX 7900XT will be equipped with 10,752 stream processors and 20GB of GDDR6 memory, with a corresponding memory bandwidth of 320 bits. At the higher end is the Radeon RX 7900XTX, with 12,288 stream processors and 24GB of GDDR6 memory, corresponding to 384-bit memory bandwidth. However, there is no sign of the Radeon RX 7800/7700 series for the time being, and the news of the delayed release of the Navi 32 and Navi 33 GPUs may be true.

A few days ago, Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager of AMD’s Radeon Graphics Group, said that the graphics card equipped with the RDNA 3 architecture GPU will not use the new 16Pin PCIe 5.0 external power supply interface, which is the 12VHPWR interface. Recently, a number of users have reported that the GeForce RTX 4090’s 12VHPWR interface and its power supply cable have overheated and melted. The exact cause has not yet been determined, and Nvidia has begun an investigation, and AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards can at least avoid a similar situation.
