The Radeon RX 6000 cards can be considered as successful designs that are a serious competition for the GeForce RTX 3000 models. The manufacturer does not intend to stop there and is working on the next generation of accelerators - the Radeon RX 7000 series can mess up the market even more.

Work on the AMD Radeon RX 7000 (RDNA 3) cards has already started some time ago, but the manufacturer has not yet disclosed details about the planned designs. This is not a problem for us, because a lot of interesting (unofficial!) Information about new cards has leaked to the network.

AMD Radeon RX 7000 - what's new in RDNA 3 cards?

According to the manufacturer's information, the next generation of graphics cards will be based on the RDNA 3 architecture. Importantly, the new systems will be produced in a new technological process (most likely it will be 5-nanometer TSMC lithography).

A significant curiosity is to modify the structure of the graphics system - the manufacturer is said to resign from dividing the core into CU (Compute Units) computing blocks and use WGP (Workgroup Processors) groups instead. From the player's point of view, this won't change much, but the information seems quite intriguing.

The top representative of the new generation - most likely the Radeon RX 7900 XT model - is said to be based on the AMD Navi 31 graphics chip, which belongs to the MCM (Multi-chip module) design. This means that the core will consist of two pieces of silicon connected, which will allow the expansion of the system and reduce its production costs.

The chip used is supposed to have 30 WGP blocks, which together give 15 360 stream processors (which is 3 times more than Navi 21 from the RDNA generation 2). It is said that the new chip will also offer 256 or even 512 MB of Infinity Cache, and on board we will find video memory with a 256-bit bus (it is not known what capacity and type).

According to previous leaks, the Radeon RX 7900 XT will be at least 40% more efficient than the Radeon RX 6900 XT - the top representative of the RDNA 2 generation.

When is the premiere of Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards?

Unfortunately not soon. In the backstage, it is said that the premiere of the next generation of AMD Radeon graphics cards is to take place only at the end of next year (they will compete with the GeForce RTX 4000 models).

Earlier, more models from the Radeon RX 6000 generation (including the Radeon RX 6600 XT) will appear on the market.
