AMD to Announce New Radeon RX 7000 SKUs Next Week at Gamescom

[btarunr]

AMD will announce new Radeon RX 7000 graphics card models next week at a special event at Gamescom 2023. The AMD Gaming Festival 2023 the company has planned for August 25 has a special media event planned for 17:00 local time, led by Scott Herkelman and Frank Azor, which means this is squarely a Radeon RX event. "Please join the AMD Radeon team at Gamescom next week for our next major product announcements," tweeted Herkelman.

As to what the company is expected to announce, the company didn't put out any specifics, but we predict announcements both on the desktop and mobile segments. For desktops, the company is expected to announce new RX 7800 series and RX 7700 series graphics cards to fill the vast performance gap between the RX 7600 and RX 7900 XT. For mobile, the company might announce the mobile RX 7900 series powered by the compact "Navi 31" package. Frank Azor is a pre-built desktop and notebook systems boss at AMD, and his presence in the show confirms mobile RX 7000 series announcements.

Another damp squid on the way..

I am curious to see what the mobile 7900 brings us. I think it might smash nVidia mobile. Other than that it all sounds lackluster.

 

[Hyderz]

im looking forward to see what the 7700xt and 7800xt can do, if amd can price it right and not just go toe to toe with nvidia offerings
might have a winner but im not that hopeful

 

[Firedrops]

yes, we get it, this rumour/leak/news/announcement-of-announcement-of-announcement has been posted every single day the past 3 weeks.

Price in the mid-range will be the key if they want to move product. I certainly hope they reject the rumours of AMD abandoning the high-end GPU market.

 

[Ruru]

Finally something interesting. 7900 XT/XTX is far too expensive for a typical gamer and GRE is a China-only SKU (at least for now). 7800 XT might be a good one if the price is right.

 

[ZoneDymo]

imagine if they showed these off and at the same time dropped prices across the product stack.

It should be easy for AMD to beat the RTX 4070 Mobile and below as NVIDIA has placed that stupid voltage limit (~100W) that limits their potential and the fact that they have underwhelming memory bus speeds (128-bit). It is only the RTX 4080 and 4090 Mobile GPUs that are notable this generation, despite the laptops they're in being US$2500+.

Hopefully a RX 7800M XT or even RX 7900M XT comes out with TGP at up to 175W.

Lower your expectation, be prepared to get disappointed and maybe that way this lunch will look OK-ish..

It can't function like that^^^ A product must comply to certain specifications, and whenever it doesn't, it's simply DOA and no-buy.

im guessing 6950 xt performance (which already almost matches 7950 xt in several games) but just with better watt usage.

7800 xt can't beat a 7950 xt, if it does, than fuck amd and the gap between a 6950 xt and 7900 xt is already so small for a lot of games not much room there.

After HUs review showing the 7900GRE being around 10% faster than the 6800XT I really don't know what to expect anymore.

If you don't know what to expect, then AMD will also not expect anything to sell. Deal-deal

I`m not talking about spec, I`m talking about any expectation and /or excitement for this, or any, GPU nowadays.

The specs and the expectations are closely related. You expect certain specs.
Or you wanna us force to expect the crap and buy it?! Not gonna happen

I don't expect to buy at all. Stick to what you have until it breaks completely and compromise on settings until then.
I expect certain spec\level of performance but I don't expect shit from the product value. That way, expecting it to be very bad value, it just might prove me wrong, so a slim trace of excitement from a new GPU lunch will see it`s way to my heart- something that have been long gone.

 

[N/A]

7900XTX with 60% more shaders. we are looking at 7800 as 4070 counterpart, but 7700 should be interesting.

 

[Dimitriman]

Yay one more celebration of getting slapped in the face as a consumer by AMD / Nvidia.

 

[docnorth]

First of all they have to clearly beat rx 6700 xt in terms of performance/price ratio...

[Not that Nvidia midrange cards do better compared to previous generation]

 

[ratirt]

Interesting to be fair. Has a price of the 7900XTX drop recently? The 7900 XT did drop quite a bit. Wonder if these new cards to be announce are some sort of better version of these two, aside the 7700 and 7800 XT's as well. It would be nice to see something faster than the XTX 7900. If we only talking about the 7700XT and 7800XT, where would these fit with the price since the drop in prices of those fore mentioned.

 

[rv8000]

Around $469-479 msrp would make a 7800XT a solid deal if it beats the 6800XT and roughly matches 6900XT.

Too bad its probably gonna be 529-539 and move the value needle no where.

The GRE has very low clocks, for whatever reason (maybe tough to cool due to very compact packaging), the 7700/7800 should have normal (fast) RDNA3 clocks.

 

[mrnagant]

Hopefully some tech announcement too. If they don't mention FSR3 here, seems like it is going to go the way of vaporware. Since they will have a fuller RDN3 product stack, they need to announce some more features to be at more parity with Nvidia. But then if they aren't going to do a highend RDNA4, maybe they just don't care anymore and might just keep GPU development at the level where they can still make some custom SoC sales. Then let whoever buys those products develop their own solutions.

There are reviews of the RX 7900 GRE out there that puts it around the performance of very slightly ahead of the RX 6800 XT and RTX 3080, I can imagine further cutdown on the specs is going to make both the products worst than what they are replacing. It is possible that 7700 XT may perform alright against the 6700 XT which in my opinion was too heavily cut down by AMD to begin with. But I am not optimistic.

The GRE has very low clocks, for whatever reason (maybe tough to cool due to very compact packaging), the 7700/7800 should have normal (fast) RDNA3 clocks.

It is possible that we can realize more performance by increasing clockspeed, but if the 7800 XT is going to lose even more CUs than the 7900 GRE (which I believe will be the case), that increase in clockspeed is not likely to do much to help. At this point, I think it makes little difference getting a RX 6800 XT over the 7800 XT if the latter cost more.
