AMD Radeon RDNA3 Graphics Launch Event Live-blog: RX 7000 Series, Next-Generation Performance
AMD today is expected to launch its next-generation RDNA3 graphics architecture and next-generation Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards, along with new gaming technologies as part of the company's "together we advance_gaming" event, unfurled by CEO Dr Lisa Su. In this live-blog we track the various announcements made in the event.
20:01 UTC: AMD's roadmap is supremely busy:
20:02 UTC: "today it's all about gaming"
20:03 UTC: AMD covers practically every gaming form-factor right now.
20:04 UTC: Lisa named 5800X3D, the company is definitely manufacturing more.
20:05 UTC: RDNA3: World's first chiplet gaming GPU:
20:06 UTC: Graphics Compute Die on 5 nm, Memory Controller Dies on 6 nm
20:07 UTC: 61 TFLOP/s compute power. That's nearly 3x over the 23 TFLOP's of the predecessor
20:08 UTC: here it its, the Navi 31:
20:08 UTC: 54% perf/W gain, similar to that of RDNA2 vs RDNA
20:09 UTC: Here they are, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT:
20:09 UTC: 300 mm2 GCD, 6x 37 mm2 MCDs, graphics-relevant Infinity Fabric
20:11 UTC: Each MCD has 16 MB of Infinity Cache, and 64-bit memory path. Together, the Navi 31 has 384-bit GDDR6 memory I/O. Peak bandwidth to 5.3 TB/s
20:12 UTC: This is the all-new compute unit, with 64 dual-pumped stream processors, AI accelerators, and new-gen RT accelerator (50% RT performance)
20:13 UTC: 2.7X AI performance uplift with the AI accelerators.
20:15 UTC: Radiance Display Engine: The GPU gets DisplayPort 2.1 native support: 4K @ 480 Hz possible, 8K at 165 Hz possible, with a single cable.
20:16 UTC: Dual Media Accelerator Engines
20:17 UTC: RDNA3 reintroduces decoupled clock domains, with shaders running at a different frequency than the front-end:
20:18 UTC: 61.6 TFLOPs peak throughput
20:18 UTC: Architecture design goals met:
20:19 UTC: RX 7900 XTX is designed for 4K
20:20 UTC: 70% performance uplift over RX 6950 XT!
20:21 UTC: The card is surprisingly compact.
20:21 UTC: 355 W board power, just two 8-pin
20:22 UTC: RX 7900 XT
20:22 UTC: DisplayPort 2.1 allows you to actually play at 4K @ 480 Hz
20:24 UTC: Samsung unveils an 8K Ultrawide for CES
20:24 UTC: 8K @ 165 Hz possible
20:26 UTC: 96 FPS AC: Valhalla at 8K!
20:27 UTC: Halo Infinite to get Ray Tracing
20:27 UTC: Ray Tracing Performance is +60% over the previous generation:
20:28 UTC: Oh joy, a tech demo:
20:30 UTC: AMD FSR3 with Fluid Motion Frames announced: DLSS 3-like frame generation: Coming in 2023
20:32 UTC: In summary:
20:37 UTC: Hyper-RX unifies Boost and Anti-Lag into a single one-click feature:
20:41 UTC: SmartAccess Video leverages video-acceleration of both the GPU and the Ryzen 7000-series iGPU:
20:34 UTC: AMD Advantage coming to pre-built desktops, combine RX 7000-series with Ryzen 7000-series processors:
20:42 UTC: AMD is aggressively pricing the Radeon RX 7900 XTX at $999, and RX 7900 XT at $899, both available from December 13
20:03 UTC: AMD covers practically every gaming form-factor right now.
20:05 UTC: RDNA3: World's first chiplet gaming GPU:
20:07 UTC: 61 TFLOP/s compute power. That's nearly 3x over the 23 TFLOP's of the predecessor

20:16 UTC: Dual Media Accelerator Engines
20:18 UTC: Architecture design goals met:
20:20 UTC: 70% performance uplift over RX 6950 XT!
20:27 UTC: Halo Infinite to get Ray Tracing

Idk how many years you been active in the space but this crap has been going on for forever.
Its the reason im always against "news" being posted here about it, especially when the true source is something like MLID or so.
Its a complete waste of time and energy and is just unintelligent.
but apparently we got it here as well....
I mean I agree he could do with some enthusiasm but man he has to remember so much, and I LOVE how into the nitty gritty they get with this, as an enthusiast I love this stuff and I would assume more members on this forum would.
but I guess we have people here as well that just dont care how it works, the tech behind, maybe its too difficult, idk they just want to know the endresult FPS
Raytracing performance claims don't seem very high.
Who could have predicted that AMD would have lower clock speeds than Nvidia.
The remarks right now with the 1.7x etc is annoying though, I want actually numbers, fps comparisons, does not fill me with confidence they dont show those yet.
hear the inflection points he is using in his speech patterns? he is making boring stuff sound decent.
im just surprised lisa had the other guy up there is all. usually you want someone who has taken public speaking 101 in college to do this stuff.
Its going to be a tight fit
If the benefits of 2.1 dont realistically show themselves on current tech....yeah people are just going to make fun of these disses as well they should
699for the 7900 XTX or was that wishfull thinking -- 999 thats okThey should have understood by now that RT is THE MAIN FEATURE TODAY TO FOCUS.
