AMD to Launch Radeon RX 7000 RDNA3 on 3rd November

[btarunr]

AMD announced that it plans to launch its next-generation Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, based on the RDNA3 architecture, on November 3, 2022. We don't know if this is just a soft-launch date with availability slated for later in the month, or if it's a hard-launch. In any case, the announcement by AMD is curiously timed, as NVIDIA is widely expected to launch its GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" graphics cards later today.

AMD RDNA3 will see the introduction of the company's first chiplet GPUs, with multiple logic tiles built on 5 nm, packaged alongside memory and display I/O tiles on a different node (possibly 6 nm). The company is banking on a significant shader-count uplift besides increased IPC, a redesigned rendering pipeline, a nearly-70% increase in memory bandwidth, and a doubling down on the Infinity Cache technology, to keep its high-end GPUs competitive with NVIDIA's.

Ahh the proverbial "announcement of the announcement of the launch"

 

[Punkenjoy]

funny that they do it the day nvidia launch ADA.

Just as a reminder of : Hey you guys might want to wait, we are coming too.

But most people won't. Nvidia have such mindshare that people will buy right away what get out of Ada launch

ADA is not launching today

 

[cvaldes]

ADA is not launching today

Right.

Despite the plethora of teasers from the NVIDIA marketing department on social media in recent days, today's announcement won't be an Ada card launch? Strange that so many manufacturers are announcing compatible motherboards and ATX 3.0 power supply units.

Must be sheer coincidence, yes?

Oopsie, it looks like you are WRONG.

Oh well, thank you for playing. Please enjoy your consolation prize as you exit the stage.

It's fine, I'll be flying off to Toronto a week after that, and will be there for about 3 months. I'll wait for benchmark results, power consumption and temps metrics while in Toronto. By the time I get back to my home country in February, I'd be furnished with all the info I need to make an informed decision.

Ah, someone with a sensible approach. You are part of the minority here at TPU.

 

[Sabotaged_Enigma]

Crush nVIDIA please. Sick of that artificial smile of Huang.

The Launch is today, the availability is later. In the past, we called this paper launch but this is the norm now. I recall in the past they launched about a product and it was available right away when it was not a paper launch.

These day, they Launch it with availability date 1-2 month later without shame.

I'm only being '"sensible" NOT by choice though, as it'd be pointless for me to buy the card and not be able to use it for 3 months while I'm away, so I'd have to suck it up and give it a pass while I'm away. Believe me, IF I hadn't already booked the flight, I'd be all over the card like a very bad rash....in other words, I'd be like the majority here at TPU.

 

[ZetZet]

So because there was no date for rtx 4000 and this is an announcement in November we pretty much have to wait to late Q1 of 2023 for the fun part.

Best not to buy early revision silicon anyhow.

The driver software will improve so you'll end up with a better user experience from the get go if you wait a couple of months. With your 6900 XT, it's not like you're running a potato anyhow.

Not so fast my friend. Most people are more savy with cost of living crisis and will take greater care when buying any gear, especially now when you can buy 3090 for less than $700 on secondary markets. New cards announced today are insanely expensive.

Plus, Nvidia cards do not support DisplayPort 2.0. MSI published the spec here earlier today. It's the old 1.4 ports. Unacceptable at the end of 2022.

Today's announced cards aren't mass market models.

Go and look at the top graphics cards in the regular Steam Surveys. They are all older entry level models from the Pascal and Turing generations.

In the same way, there are more 5-10 year old Toyota Celicas and Honda Civics on the road than last year's 12-cylinder Mercedes S-Class.

If you have a large disposable income budget, the difference of a few hundred dollars for a discrete graphics card is not a big deal. Increasing interest rates for home mortgages are a bigger deal.

Going by the other articles, the 4090 launches on 12 Oct and the 4080s in Nov (exact date not specified).

let's call it what it is.....an announcement. put it into context dude....imagine this

hot dog vendor puts up a sign "HOT DOGS HERE $5"
ppl line up and he goes
Sorry, this is just the "launch".....the "availability" of my hot dogs are not until next weekend!
it sounds just as stupid as it does, because it is absurdly stupid

It's an announcement and it deserves no other substitution or euphemism

New cards announced today are insanely expensive.

I just saw the $1600 price tag for the 4090

it's insane. looks like everything went sky high with the 2000 series gen and this trend will unfortunately continue I'm sure. We are now over double from what an equivalent flagship like the1080ti was brand new. The cost of living and inflation have not doubled in this same time frame. GPUs are going up at an increased rate from my perception.

 

[AsRock]

Extremely weak announcement to say the least.

The company is banking on a significant shader-count uplift besides increased IPC

So they don't even know that ?, sounds like a soft launch if that's there working. Banking on ? Hoping for ? hahahaha.

That's fine. I still need to save some more money

Agreed, that's from my experience as an early adopter of Ampere. Besides the better models roll out a few months after launch, so I feel like I can afford to wait a while.

Certainly if you wait for the later waves of card models, you have a greater selection to choose from. This is on top of more mature driver software and more refined silicon revisions.

From a performance-per-dollar perspective, the top tier graphics cards are rarely a great value proposition. It's usually a mid-tier card that ends up being the value champion in any given generation (RTX 3060Ti and RX 6700 XT perhaps).

I'm a demanding guy, so I only buy flagship cards. In my case, it'd be waiting for the really extreme versions

But it'll all depend on how much AMD is charging. With the 4070 now rebranded 4080-12GB at an awful $900, I feel like AMD can one-up them by releasing a 7800 XT at the same price point and with similar perf to the 4080-16GB, and a 7900 XT that will go toe to toe with the 4090 for 1200, and win the price war (as bad as that sounds)

 

[Minus Infinity]

Literally the only news worthy GPU announcement today.

 

[Bwaze]

Help us, AMD one, you're our only hope?

Not gonna happen.

At least not in a radical way. Nvidia controls 80% of discrete GPU market. AMD has very limited production capacity at TSMC - they had it before the Nvidia and Intel also started competing for the same production processes, now it's going to be even more limited.

So what would the major undercutting of Nvidia's offering achieve? They can't food the market with cheaper cards. All it would do is enable scalpers to get their living by reselling cards for their "proper market place". And anger their shareholders by leaving the profit to scalpers.

 

[GamerGuy]

I'm just hoping that AMD improves on RT performance substantially (rumored 3x, whatever that means) and, hopefully, with more game devs adopting FSR, it'd mean better performance for AMD cards (as well as those non RTX nVidia cards). I'd like to run Metro Exodus at native res of 3840x1080 with ingame visuals and RT maxed out, and still net very high framerate....say, 90fps and higher. That'd be a good performance uplift over my RX 6900 XT fer sure....

I for one don't really care for the RT perf much, I want a raster monster, and I have a suspicion that is just what RDNA 3 is going to deliver. We'll know in a month or so.

we should put nVidia down?

next thing we know, Lisa Su will be telling the world that nVidia went to our aunt's farm forever where they can play with all their other graphic card friends
