As always, there are quite a few speculations and rumors surrounding the next version of AMD graphics cards (and your competitors, of course). This time, reports place the launch in September 2023 for the new desktop graphics. Navi 32 from AMD, because it seems that their development has already been completed and in fact they even have working drivers. We tell you everything known below.
It’s been a few days since YouTube channel Moore’s Law is Dead revealed some details about the new Navi 31/32 hybrid GPUs, but some preliminary specifications of the graphics card models that will use these chips have also surfaced, so we already have more. enough information to give us a good idea of what lies ahead.
Everything we know about the next AMD graphics
As we said, many rumors and leaks happened around Lisa Su’s upcoming graphics launch, including an EEC listing that revealed the model Radeon RX 7800 XT with 16 GB of VRAM with 256-bit bus, although it is true that the name of the exact models has not been revealed at this time.
Although it is known that the Navi 32 chip will have up to 70 CPUs, it is highly likely that AMD will keep this ace up its sleeve for the high-end models and that this variant uses 60 CPUs, with a total power ( TBP) of 260 watts. Another possibility would be the Radeon RX 7700 XT, which would have between 48 and 54 CPUs, 12 GB of memory with a 192-bit bus (it would offer 19.5 Gbps) and a slightly lower TBP, potentially around 245 watts.
Be careful, because there is also speculation of a Navi 31/32 hybrid chip with 70 CU, although the information on this is quite limited and, moreover, based on mere speculation (after all, that AMD has the possibility of doing something does not mean that later I end up realizing it).
Released in September this year?
At this point, new leaks continue to appear with more and more technical specifications of these future GPUs from those in red. Navi 32 chips are also meant to support gaming laptops and even mini PCs. According to the source, the Navi 32 chip is already ready to enter mass production and, in fact, he claims that it already has working drivers, which means that, indeed, its launch must be very close now.
But hey, let’s get to where we’re going: its launch. In theory, AMD should preview all of these graphics cards at Gamescom August 23-27 in Cologne, Germany, where they’ll announce their launch. launch for the month of September of this year.
Some media claim that the excess stock of graphics cards based on the Navi 21 chip (for example, the RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT) has caused a delay in the launch of this new generation, and it must be remembered that the current Radeon RX 7000 they use the Navi 31 chip in the high end models and Navi 33 in the mid and low end models, so the real news will be the Navi 32 based GPUs, which are the ones to come.
