RDNA 3 architecture GPU is said to be close to 4GHz

In a recent AMD blog post, AMD senior vice president, corporate researcher, and product technology architect Sam Naffziger described the performance-per-watt improvements that the past three generations of Radeon graphics cards have achieved. When looking forward to the upcoming RDNA 3 architecture, it is confirmed that in addition to the 5nm process and small chip design, the new generation of GPUs will also introduce a new generation of Infinity Cache and improve power management technology.

One thing that Sam Naffziger did not mention, but it is very likely that AMD will continue the high-frequency design of the RDNA 2 architecture, allowing the RDNA 3 architecture to run at a higher frequency. Twitter user @9550pro revealed that the frequency of the Radeon RX 7000 series graphics card is close to 4GHz, which is higher than the frequency of about 3GHz reached by the current Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card.

According to Sam Naffziger earlier, AMD integrated some design methods of the CPU microarchitecture into the GPU design, such as simplifying the physical makeup of the chip and making higher frequencies possible. Coupled with the fact that AMD’s latest Ryzen 7000 series CPUs have a large increase in frequency, such news of the Radeon RX 7000 series seems reasonable.
