The new Radeons of the RX 7000 series are said to clock at almost 4,000 megahertz. what’s up
Hooray, autumn is here! In addition, it is an even-numbered year. That means completely new graphics card generations are just around the corner, both from AMD and from Nvidia. But it’s not about Team Green now, that’s the focus tonight at the eagerly awaited presentation of the RTX 4000 accelerators. We accompany the spectacle with a React Live on our Twitch channel Monsters & Explosions (from 5 p.m.).

So, for the moment, Team Red will remain. And a current report on their RX 7000 series, which they have been waiting for with no less anticipation, promises a fabulous speed record – it should go to almost four thousand megahertz. In figures: 4,000 MHz or 4.0 GHz. what’s up

Normally we would tell you something about the leaker here: how serious it is, how good its hit rate has been in recent years, and so on. However, we can safely save ourselves that in this case, because AMD itself provides the strongest arguments.
Ryzen 7000 shows how it’s done
We have long known from the Ryzen desktop processors how high the clock rates are. The new flagship Ryzen 9 7950X will be able to boost with up to 5.7 GHz. With the Ryzen 9 5950X, on the other hand, 4.9 GHz is the end. The significantly increased clock rate results, among other things, from the new 5-nanometer manufacturing process. As luck would have it, this is of course also used with the RDNA3 graphics cards (RX 7000).
Even the current AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT as a reference design reaches a nominal peak of 2,815 MHz. Even the 3 GHz mark has already been broken by one or the other custom design – with a 7 nanometer process, mind you.

Clock rate makes for big jumps
It’s hardly surprising that AMD will be able to go one better with a newer manufacturing process and improvements in the architecture. Still, it’s remarkable. Almost four gigahertz on a graphics card. In addition, significantly more computing cores. A dream. If in the end the performance is right.
But the biggest leaps in performance were always when the clock rate increased significantly. This is what happened with the RX 6000 series, which Nvidia, after years of abstinence, was finally able to stand up to in the high-end segment. Or the legendary Pascal graphics cards (GTX 1000) from Nvidia, which have increased by more than 500 megahertz on average compared to their predecessors and are still considered one of the best generations of all.
