Here's the very first sketch of an AMD RDNA3 Radeon RX 7000-series flagship graphics card with the "Navi 31" chip in the middle. This will be AMD's first chiplet-based GPU built on a philosophy similar to that of the Ryzen desktop and EPYC server processors. The main number crunching machinery that benefits the most from the latest foundry process, will be built on 5 nm logic chiplets (up to two of these on the "Navi 31," one of these on the "Navi 32"), while the components that don't really benefit from the latest process, such as the memory controllers, display/media accelerators, etc., will be disintegrated into chiplets built on a slightly older node, such as 6 nm. This way AMD gets to maximize its 5 nm allocation at TSMC, which it has to share among not just the logic tiles of RDNA3 GPUs, but also its "Zen 4" processors.

The top-dog "Navi 31" silicon is expected to feature a 384-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, which is why you see 12 memory chips surrounding the GPU package. AMD is expected to deploy fast 19-21 Gbps class GDDR6 memory chips, as well as double-down on the Infinity Cache technology. The package looks like a GPU die surrounded by HBM stacks, but those are actually the memory/display chiplets. If this PCB is from an AMD reference design, it could be the biggest hint that AMD isn't switching over to the 12+4 pin ATX 12HPWR connector just yet, and could stick with three 8-pin PCIe connectors for power, just like the current RX 6950 XT. USB-C with DisplayPort passthrough could prominently feature with RDNA3 graphics cards, besides standard DisplayPort and HDMI connectors.

Allegedly.

Which means it might or might not have warehouses stocked and ready to ship.

I hope they have a quiet switch that limits to 250w or some such.

Give me 2x 6900XT performance at 350W and I am sold. Not looking for a 600W living room heater.
True, more so especially now with electricity prices going thru the roof!

Well true. I paid $200 for last month's electricity Still didnt pay a lot since I'm trying to save. BTW I was off that month for 2 weeks vacation traveling. Dont want to know what it will look like this month. Prices keep going up every month.

I'm really starting looking how much power equipment is using. Efficiency is going to be a key selling point for me.

Same here... I suspect both of are in the nordic grid ie Nord Pool.

Well on the other hand we can't rely on gas anymore that much, so an electric room heater doesn't sound that bad.

There was a fun revelation while talking with collogues. It is the first time where Titanium class PSU price margin would pay off versus a gold one.

Seeing a sketch doesnt mean they only have sketches. That's what was leaked. And having warehouses full of cards waiting for older cards to be sold isn't really something good

I have seen better on a cig packet tech drawing.
This is a stretch of a leak
So it's definitely GPU shaped, noice.

Of RTX 3000? Yeah. Warehouses stocked and trying to ship.
Most stores never got their successive shipments of Radeon cards. They couldn't seem to sell much of the first batches. No demand.

This has to be one of the worst "leaks" I've ever seen get an article lolol

For Nvidia, if you look at Ampere launch timeline, it's quite possible that they do not rush the launch as they have still many ampere cards to sell. And don't expect lower end Ada cards to ship and be available quickly. It will probably just be the high end to milk the whales first. They can take their times and stock.

AMD shipped RDNA2 a bit later and if it's on track, we should start seeing more info like printed box by the end of October. In both case, no matter if you are a fanboy of one or the other, you should wait if you can until both cards are settle in the market.

This is going to be very interesting indeed. i can't wait to see both cards compete.

AMD doesn't seem to use leaks as marketing as much. We have very little to go on for them, but they promised investors GPU's coming this year so they should be manufactured or on the production line by now too. I imagine RX 7900 XT launches like a month or two after RTX 4090. Month seems smart if they plan to slot in between 4080 and 4090.

Dissapointed for the lack of the new power connector (if there was a adapter included). Would've been much cleaner...

Would you rather have the new power connector or a card manufacturer that doesn't need to rely on 200% power spikes for performance?
Is both an option? It's more that I prefer one small connector due to looks reasons rather than any power benefits it provides. I don't care about the whole power spiking stuff of ATX 3.0 but the small cable is a better idea than 4x 8-pin power connectors looking hideous...

If Nvidia don't start selling their 40 series quick (not just a launch press release) I expect talk of how the 7000 series will perform will kill sales. I mean look at that chip design... that's gotta make a dent.

LOL so you prefer marketing spin and hype to AMD's low key approach. They are shipping one month later than Nvidia and if you think they don't have warehouses filling up with inventory already you are delusional.

Interesting take, I personally prefer my computers to work well and not cost extra money for stability or be a heater. Looks are not even secondary, they are about the last thing that comes to mind.
