AMD’s successful launch of the AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs was quickly undermined by Intel’s 13th Generation processors, which launched a month later. Today, it’s AMD’s turn once again to take the spotlight with the launch of its latest Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards at the together we advance_gaming event. The newest RX 7000 series is set to rival Nvidia’s recently launched GeForce RTX 40 series graphics.
AMD RDNA 3 Architecture
AMD’s latest RDNA3 Architecture is the world’s first GPU architecture that will use a chiplet-style design similar to what we’ve seen on the Ryzen product stack. Like the Ryzen counterparts, RDNA 3powered GPUs have a 5nm Graphics Compute Die and a 6nm Memory Cache Die. The GCD and MCD are linked via a 5.3TB/S interconnect.
RX 7900 XTX 24GB
The RX 7900 XTX is the flagship graphics card of the RX 7000 series GPUs featuring 96 CUs, up to 2.3GHz Game Clock, and 24GB 384-bit GDDR6 in a 355W package. The RX 7900 XTX also supports AV1 Encoding and Decoding as well as the latest Display Port 2.1 output.
RX 7900 XT 20GB
The AMD RX 7900 XT has slightly lower specifications than its bigger brother with only 84 CUs, 2GHz Game Clock, and 20 GB 320-bit GDDR6 in a more efficient 300W TBP.
AMD also takes a shot at Nvidia with its “Easy upgrade” presentation as users don’t have to change almost anything in their setup when upgrading to the RX 7000 series as it still sports a 2.5 slot cooler, two 8-pin PCI-E connectors, and only up to 355W of TBP.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, RX 7900 XT Pricing and Availability
In typical AMD fashion, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT will be available on store shelves at a later date, December 13, 2022. The RX 7900 XTX has a SEP of $999, about two-thirds the price of the Nvidia RTX 4090. The RX 7900 XT is priced at $899 which is $300 cheaper than the RTX 4080 16GB.
