After a long wait, accelerated by the recent launch of the NVIDIA RTX 4090, finally AMD presents the first models of RX 7000 graphics cardsbased on RDNA-3 architecture and be the first disaggregated GPU in PC history, which are colloquially known as chiplets. Join us as we reveal all the details of the next generation of Radeon-branded gaming GPUs, both the early models and the details around them.
Through the event titled Together We Advance Gaming, AMD will hold an internet broadcast where it will show the first details of its new generation of graphics cards. Contrary to what Lisa Su’s company has accustomed us to, there hasn’t been the level of leaks that other times have. In the sense that before the presentation and despite the fact that we have known certain details of the new GPU for months, at the moment we do not know the models, clock speeds, price and relative performance. In other words, we know some technical details, but we completely ignore what is really important for the end user.
AMD presents the first RX 7000 graphics cards
One of the biggest issues with scaling a chip to more advanced nodes is that not all parts scale equally or benefit from it. As chip manufacturing costs rise, so does the disaggregated processor concept, which consists of dividing a single chip into several smaller ones, but built in different foundries in order to reduce costs.
This strategy was already being pursued by AMD with its Zen 2-based Ryzen 3000 series processors, but it was impossible to do so in Radeon GPUs due to the need for interfaces to communicate with high-speed chiplets. It’s thanks to TSMC’s latest packaging advancements that this has been made possible, however, the RX 7000 graphics cards are much more than just separating the functions of a graphics chip into several different parts.
