AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE Could be Introduced at ChinaJoy 2023 Conference

[T0@st]

AMD's Chinese office has announced that company representatives will be present at this year's ChinaJoy event—their Weibo social media account confirmed that: "from July 28th to July 31st, 2023, in Hall E6 of Shanghai New International Expo Center, super hardcore and mega cool AMD hardware will be on the scene, bringing you a fast and fun gaming experience. We are looking forward to meeting you!" ITHome thinks that the timing of this announcement points to a possible official unveiling of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition) on the showroom floor.

The publication has cited a tip provided by the one and only momomo_us—the Chinese market exclusive Golden Rabbit Edition will be released tomorrow, which lines up with ChinaJoy 2023's kick off time. Recent leaks have revealed that the 84 Compute Units + 16 GB configured graphics card is a new SKU, sitting below the RX 7900 XT in Team Red's Radeon RDNA 3 hierarchy. It seems to be "built on the mysterious Navi 31 + Navi 32 hybrid GPU." Additionally, ITHome reports that AMD has partnered up with ASUS, and will be exhibiting ROG Moba 7 Plus series laptops (sporting Ryzen Dragon Range APUs) at the Shanghai event.

Trying to plug a hole in their limited lineup. And to make matters worse they've spent nearly 8 or 9 months to produce X700 X7800 SKUs. Utterly shambolic generation.

So AMD's version of the Geforce 4080 12GB.

From both camps, this generation has been a damp squib at best.

Like every Nvidia Ti card?

TSMC, why do you overcharge for the wafers so much? ...

$25,000 for N2 wafer https://www.pcgamer.com/tsmcs-higher-prices-could-make-for-even-more-expensive-gpus/
$20,000 for N3 wafer https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-will-charge-20000-per-3nm-wafer , https://www.techpowerup.com/301393/...0-000-next-gen-cpus-gpus-to-be-more-expensive
$17,000 for N5/N4 wafer https://hardwaresfera.com/en/noticias/hardware/precio-oblea-tsmc-5nm/

I don't overcharge, I ask a fair market price based on demand and no supply.

Damn wait a waste, they'll have to recycle all of the boxes for those 7600 models, some fool put "7900" on them.

These prices are almost certainly wrong. EETimes reported that TSMC is expected to charge $16,000 to $ 17,000 per wafer for N3. Also note that big customers like Apple may pay even less than that during process ramp up.

Apple will pay TSMC for known good die rather than standard wafer prices, at least for the first three to four quarters of the N3 ramp as yields climb to around 70%, Brett Simpson, senior analyst at Arete Research, said in a report provided to EE Times.

These prices are almost certainly wrong.

Even if they are initial prices for risk production, they are still 10 times higher than several years ago - 2,000 vs 20,000.

That isn't quite right either. The prices shown for the old nodes are the current prices or at least they were the current prices before TSMC's 20% price hike for older nodes. The mature 55 nm cost $4000 in late 2009 which is about $5689 today. The new 40 nm process cost $5000 at that time which would be $7110 today.
