Amd navi preis: AMD RDNA 3 Release Date, Price And Specs [Nov. 2022]

AMD RDNA 3 Release Date, Price And Specs [Nov. 2022]

2020 was an exciting time in both the PC and console worlds. We saw brand-new CPU and GPU releases from AMD and NVIDIA, but we also got the long-awaited next-gen consoles from Xbox and Sony.

These releases enjoyed significant performance improvements from their predecessors, generally thanks to the transition to a smaller (7nm) fabrication process from TSMC and Samsung.

TSMC already has a 5nm process in the works, and AMD bases its RDNA 3 and Zen 4 architecture on that. So, the expectations for performance improvements are high!

Let’s see what RDNA 3 GPUs will offer!

    Release Date

    Image Source: Wccftech

    AMD announced its two new flagship GPUs, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT on November 3, 2022, during the together we advance_gaming event. These GPUs will release and become available for purchase on December 13, 2022.

    Other GPUs in the lineup are still not announced and have no release date.

    NVIDIA’s contender, the RTX 4090 is already available for purchase, if you don’t feel like waiting on AMD. Other mid-end RTX 4000 cards will come at a later date.

    If this generation of GPUs don’t satisfy your chase for more performance, we suggest waiting for AMD’s next-gen XDNA SoC.

    Price

    During the announcement event, AMD also revealed pricing.

    Here are the announced prices:

    • Radeon RX 7900 XTX – $999
    • Radeon RX 7900 XT– $899

    Considering that NVIDIA’s new flagship is $1599 and the RTX 4080 is $1199, AMD’s prices seem considerably more attractive.

    What’s left to see is how the performance will fare against NVIDIA. But, for $600 less, big performance gaps can be justified.

    Since the rest of the lineup didn’t get any announcements or price tags, here are our estimates based on leaks/rumors:

    • Radeon RX 7800/XT – $699
    • Radeon RX 7700/XT – $599
    • Radeon RX 7600 – $350
    • Radeon RX 7500 – $250

    Architecture

    Navi 3 or RDNA 3 GPUs have a chiplet design. The first ever gaming GPUs to have multiple chiplets fused into one. We’ve seen this same approach in AMD’s Ryzen processors which brought a lot of success to the company over the years.

    The Navi 31 die has 1 GCD (Graphics Complex Die) graphics paired with 6 MCD (Multi-cache Die) which sums up to 96 CUs.

    Next-generation ray tracing accelerators are also added to the chip, so better ray tracing is expected this time around.

    Thanks to those MCDs and second-generation Infinity Cache, AMD managed to boost the GPU’s peak bandwidth by 2.7X (up to 5.3 TB/s.)

    This new multi-die setup (and 5nm process node) allowed AMD to cram 165% more transistors-per-mm2.

    Specifications

    A new generation of the RDNA architecture on a 5nm fabrication process (from TSMC) sounds promising.

    But will switching to a 5nm process node hurt GPU supply? Well, here’s what Lisa Su had to say about that:

    We’ve been working on the supply chain really for the last four or five quarters, knowing the growth that we have from a product standpoint and the visibility that we have from customers. So in regards to [the] 2022 supply environment, we’ve made significant investments in wafer capacity, as well as substrate capacity and back-end capacity.

    Hopefully, we’ll see a proper supply of GPUs throughout 2022 and 2023.

    Here’s a table of rumored specifications:

      Navi 21 Navi 31 Navi 31 Navi 32 (RX 7800 XT?) Navi 33 (RX 7600 XT?)

    During AMD’s event, Lisa Su announced the new RX 7000 GPUs, shared information on their performance and specifications.

    Let’s see what AMD previewed!

    Lisa Su first announced two GPUs on the Navi 31 die, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and Radeon RX 7900 XT.

    The RX 7900 XTX is AMD’s flagship so it will have the full 96 CUs, a game clock frequency of 2.3 GHz, 24GB GDDR6, and all of that at a total board power of 355W.

    That’s a 15% increase in frequency over the RX 6950XT and a 20% increase in CUs (Compute Units.)

    The flagship’s little brother, the RX 7900 XT is cut down to 84 CUs, 2 GHz game clock, 20GB GDDR6 VRAM, and maxed out power draw at 300W.

    Another addition to the RDNA 3 lineup will be DisplayPort 2.1. With DP 2.1, users can get 8K@165Hz and 4K@480Hz. NVIDIA’s flagship RTX 4090 is still stuck with DP 1. 4a which is limited to 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz.

    Now, finally, let’s look at some performance!

    Performance

    AMD shared some benchmarks/slides with performance, but don’t take these for granted. Always wait for third-party benchmarks to see the true performance of these types of products.

    At 4K native, compared to the RX 6950 XT, the RX 7900 XTX can output up to 1.7X better performance. That’s a considerable leap in generational performance without any upscaling technology.

    Ray tracing performance also sees up to 1.6x more FPS in Doom Eternal. NVIDIA is the leader in RT performance for a couple of years now, so we’re excited to see AMD finally delivering something competitive in this sector.

    AMD also advertises the possibility of playing 8K games at a high refresh rate while using the RX 7900 XTX and FSR.

    And, above 60FPS performance at 4K with ray tracing enabled.

    For now, that’s all the performance numbers we get, so make sure to come back to this article once the RX 7000 series releases to see exactly how well the GPUs will perform!

    Efficiency And Power Draw

    It’s exhilarating once we consider the potential performance and efficiency improvement of RDNA 3 over RDNA 2. Take the performance per watt increase between AMD’s old GCN architecture and RDNA 1 as an example.

    Then, we saw another monumental 50% performance-per-watt leap from RDNA 1 to RDNA 2.

    With RDNA 3, AMD surpassed its goal and achieved 54% better performance-per-watt compared to RDNA 2.

    There were a lot of rumors circulating that AMD will follow in NVIDIA’s foosteps and push their power draw over 400W, but, fortunately for us, that does not seem to be the case.

    The RX 7900 XTX is limited to 355W total board power and will not need any kind of proprietary connector/adapter like NVIDIA’s RTX 4090.

    To further decrease power draw AMD decouples clocks in different parts of the GPU die. This allows front-end clocks to run at higher 2.5 GHz frequencies while shaders are running at 2.3 GHz which ultimately leads to up to 25% power savings.

    Features

    With RDNA 3 we are also getting a couple of new and updated technologies. Most notable are FSR 3.0 and Hypr-RX.

    FSR 3.0

    Supposedly, it can deliver up to two times more FPS compared to FSR 2. It won’t release until 2023 though. That’s all the information we got for now.

    Of course, Radeon Super Resolution will also be available for RX 7000 users.

    Now, this is where things get interesting.

    Hypr-RX

    AMD also announced a new technology named “Hypr-RX” which should also release in the first half of 2023. Hypr-RX should supposedly improve FPS and lower latency by a considerable amount.

    In the short preview at the event, AMD showed an almost 85% increase in FPS and a 60% decrease in latency.

    These are some serious claims and we are definitely interested to hear more about Hypr-RX. It could be something similar to NVIDIA’s DLSS 3/Frame Generation.

    Encoding And Decoding

    With a new media engine, AMD has also improved media encoding, decoding, and stream transcoding, which has been a serious problem for AMD GPUs for years. NVIDIA’s NVENC was miles ahead.

    With AV1 coding, quality of videos and streams should improve considerably and may even be better than NVENC.

    Furthermore, AMD announces SmartAccess Video, which can be used to pair Ryzen and Radeon together for a 30% uplift in 4K multi-stream transcoding. This will probably introduce more uplifts in other similar workloads.

    RDNA 3 In APUs And Mobile CPUs

    RDNA 3 will also be added to future Zen 4 (Phoenix) APUs, which will have performance comparable to an RTX 3060M, according to greymon55.

    Phoenix GPU≈3060m 60W

    — Greymon55 (@greymon55) May 8, 2022

    Supposedly, the RDNA 3 GPU in these APUs can have up to 6 WGPs with 1,536 stream processors. With a high enough clock speed (~3 GHz), it will definitely be the fastest iGPU ever created.

    We imagine that future ultra-light laptops might be capable of high-end gaming thanks to AMD’s Ryzen 7000 APUs.

    AMD RDNA 3 – release date, price, specs, and benchmarks

    AMD RDNA 3 is on its way to face off against the Nvidia Lovelace leviathans, starting with the Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX. The good news is that they both have an impressive sub-$1,000 USD price point, undercutting Nvidia by up to $600.

     

    Historically, AMD has struggled to take the best graphics cards crown from Nvidia, but instead of trying to go toe-to-toe with performance, team red has chosen to hit its rival where it hurts: value. We’ll need to wait for individual reviews to pop up before judging just how well the new Radeon cards stack up against GeForce alternatives, but this time it truly feels like a war.

    To help you prepare for the next-gen GPU lineup, we’ve gathered everything we know about AMD RDNA 3, including its release date, price, specs, and benchmarks.

    AMD RDNA 3 release date

    The AMD RDNA 3 release date is close, as the Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX both land on shelves on December 13. You can see the full reveal below:

    Much like Nvidia, AMD has chosen to run with its top two graphics cards and kept any other potential members of the Radeon RX 7000 family hidden for the time being. We might see more about its entry-level and mid-range GPUs at some point in 2023.

    AMD RDNA 3 price

    The best part about AMD RDNA 3 is the price. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT hits shelves at $899 USD, while the Radeon RX 7900 XTX comes in at $999. Both are cheaper than the RX 6900 XT, while the latter costs $600 less than the RTX 4090.

    Keeping the price so slim does come with some sacrifices to specs, but internal benchmarks from AMD seem promising short of any first-hand testing we’ll do ourselves.

    AMD RDNA 3 specs

    AMD RDNA 3 specs are pretty jam-packed, with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX using 24GB of memory and the Radeon RX 7900 XT running with 20GB. The small catch here is that it is the slower GDDR6 version rather than the GDDR6X we see in the Nvidia RTX 4090, but this likely does help bring the price down significantly.

    RX 7900 XTX RX 7900 XT RX 6900 XT
    VRAM (GDDR6) 24GB 24GB 16GB
    Game frequency 2.3GHz 2.0GHz 2.0GHz
    Boost frequency 2.5GHz 2.4GHz 2.25GHz
    Compute units 96 (RDNA 3) 84 (RDNA 3) 80 (RDNA 2)
    TBP 355W 300W 300W
    Bus Width 384-bit 384-bit 256-bit

    Both GPUs run on Navi 31, but rumours suggest there will be a Navi 32 and 33 for mid-range and entry-level models respectively.

    These are the first graphics cards to include DisplayPort 2.1, despite the best gaming monitor not even having the connector. Its upper limits include 8K resolutions at 165Hz or 4K at a 480Hz refresh rate, but we’ve yet to see any display come remotely close. The Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 will be one of the first DisplayPort 2.1 armed 8K screens launching at CES 2023.

    AMD is also keeping the same two 8-pin power connectors to avoid the RTX 4090 melting cable issue.

    As for power specifics, the 7900 XTX is 355W, while the 7900 XT requires 300W. However, AIB cards will likely push the GPUs harder, and some could use a similar cooler to the RTX 4090.

    AMD RDNA 3 benchmarks speculation

    Until we see reviews hit the web, we’re stuck with AMD’s internal tests, so take this with a pinch of salt. As expected, RDNA 3 graphics cards mainly target 4K gaming, but can go as high as 8K with a helping hand from AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution to boost fps.

    The RX 7900 XTX is supposedly between 1.5 and 1.7 times faster than the RX 6950 XT at 4K resolutions, even in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. There are even 8K benchmarks with the help of AMD FSR, as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla hits up to 96fps.

    Naturally, even the best gaming PC will struggle with resolutions beyond 4K without the help of upscaling software, so 8K will only be possible in games that have added FSR support.

    AMD RX 6000 release date, Big Navi specs, price and performance : GameZ=

    The AMD RX 6000 series has been introduced with three new graphics cards, each offering more gaming performance than we’ve ever seen from a Radeon GPU. These are serious enthusiast graphics cards, folks. And, according to AMD’s own tests, sometimes with better performance than Nvidia’s RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.

    The first two cards will be with us on November 18, 2020, and on Real big Big Navi card, RX 6900 XT, will arrive on December 8th.

    The RX 6000 series has many names and can be a little confusing at times. The architecture is officially known as RDNA 2, sometimes referred to as AMD Navi 2X. The video cards themselves that we now know will be branded as the RX 6000 series, most likely initially as the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800.

    Although Big Navi was sometimes added in passing. Big Navi is a fan-made name coined long before we heard of an official name, and has been used ever since by AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su to refer to the company’s next-generation GPUs. However, all you need to know is keep an eye out for the RX 6000 brand and whether these cards can outpace Nvidia’s RTX 30 generation.

    AMD has been spending most of its time lately gaming with mid-range graphics performance, but with the release of the RX 6000 series this year, it is making a real attack on the high-end.

    The general consensus was that AMD had something up its sleeve for a while and that something became known as «Big Navi». A high performance GPU that can take the fight to the very top of the Nvidia Ampere lineup and make the green team take the knife to their teary pricing structure.

    Whether AMD can compete with the RTX 30 series is the big question for everyone, but based on AMD’s own tests, it looks like the RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT cards are capable of trading blows with the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, respectively. And often they are beaten.

    At a Glance…

    AMD RX 6000 Release Date
    The first cards, the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT, will go on sale on November 18, with the RX 6900 XT coming later on December 8. All this year, and all with some serious promises.

    AMD RX 6000 GPU Specifications
    The true «big fight» RDNA2 Big Navi, RX 6900 XT, is the GPU we’ve been expecting with 80 CUs, while the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT cards come with 60 and 72 CUs respectively. All three cards ship with 16GB GDDR6.

    AMD RX 6000 Performance
    We’re looking at the top graphics card swap results with the RTX 3090 and RX 6800 XT taking on the RTX 3080. The RX 6800 itself often tops the RTX 2080 Ti, making it faster than the RTX 3070.

    AMD RX 6000 pricing.
    The RX 6800 will retail for $579, the RX 6800 XT will retail for $649, and the RX 6900 XT will retail for $999.
