Join us on November 3rd for the reveal of #RDNA3 and the world premiere of exciting new footage from @CallistoTheGame , @Forspoken , a sneak peek at something amazing from our friends at @Ubisoft , and more… Live at 4 p.m. at: pic.twitter.com/Yuy4BpRz94 — Radeon RX (@Radeon) November 2, 2022 The initial lineup is expected to include two cards based on the flagship Navi 31 GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB and the Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB. AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB “Rumored” Graphics Card Specifications The AMD Navi 31 GPU, the flagship RDNA 3 chip, would power next-generation fan cards such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX/XT graphics card. We’ve heard that AMD will ditch CUs (Compute Units) in favor of WGPs (Workgroup Processors) on their next-gen RDNA 3 GPUs. Each WGP will house double CUs (Computing Units) but with twice as many SIMD32 clusters as opposed to just 2 in each CU inside the RDNA 2. Rumor has it that AMD has the option to choose between Samsung and TSMC for the 6nm die.

AMD Navi 31 XTX: 12288 Cores, 384-bit Bus, 192 MB Infinity Cache, 308mm2 GPU Die @5nm AMD Navi 21 XTX: 5120 Cores, 384-bit Bus, 128 MB Infinity Cache, 520mm2 GPU Die @7nm

According to the latest information, the AMD Navi 31 GPU with RDNA 3 architecture is expected to offer a single GCD with 48 WGP, 12 SA and 6 SE. This will give a total of 12,288 SPs or stream processors. This is a 2.4x increase in cores compared to the 5120 SPs seen on the Navi 21 GPU. The GPU or Navi 31 GCD is said to be 308mm2 in size and will be packaged on TSMC’s 5nm process node. The Navi 31 GPU will also carry 6 MCDs that will have 16MB of Infinity Cache per die and are also likely to carry 64-bit (32-bit x 2) memory controllers that will give the chip a 384-bit bus interface. While this equates to 96MB of Infinity Cache, which is lower than the 128MB seen on current Navi 21 GPUs, there is also a 3D-Stacked solution in the works that was recently highlighted that would double the Infinity Cache to 32MB ( 16 MB 0-hi + 16 MB 1-hi) capacities for a total of 192 MB cache. This is a 50% increase compared to the current Navi 21 design and also makes the Navi 31 the first GPU with both chiplet and 3D stacked designs. These chiplets, or MCDs, will be manufactured on TSMC’s 6nm process node and measure 37.5mm2 each. AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB “Rumored” Graphics Card Specifications There will also be a chopped variant that will feature the Navi 31 XT GPU core. This chip is going to pack 42 WGP or 10,752 cores. That’s 12.5% ​​fewer kernels than the full-fat version. The GPU will also run at slightly lower clock speeds, but power consumption will be lower.

AMD Navi 31 XT: 12288 Cores, 320-bit Bus, 160 MB Infinity Cache, 308mm2 GPU Die @5nm AMD Navi 21 XT: 4608 Cores, 256-bit Bus, 128 MB Infinity Cache, 520mm2 GPU Die @7nm

The graphics card will also feature 20GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus interface. Since there are only 5 MCDs enabled, the card will end up with 80MB of Infinity Cache, which is 16MB less than the top version and a 16.6% reduction.

Improved adaptive power management and next-gen Infinity cache for RDNA 3 confirmed

AMD SVP & Technology Architect Sam Naffziger has already pointed out that the next-generation RDNA 3 GPUs featured in the Radeon RX 7000 GPUs and next-generation iGPUs will offer a number of new technologies, including a refined adaptive power management technology for workload setting – specific operating points, ensuring that the GPU uses only the power required for the workload. The GPUs will also feature a next-generation AMD Infinity Cache, which will offer high-density, lower-power caches and reduced power requirements for graphics memory. What’s next? Looking ahead, we continue our push for more efficient gaming with AMD RDNA 3 architecture. As AMD’s first graphics architecture to leverage our 5nm process and chiplet packaging technology, AMD RDNA 3 is on track to deliver approximately >50 percent better performance per watt than AMD RDNA 2 architecture – bringing truly top-notch gaming performance to gamers in cool, quiet, and energy-efficient designs. Contributing to this power-conscious design, AMD RDNA 3 enhances AMD RDNA 2 adaptive power management technology to set specific operating points for workloads, ensuring that each GPU component uses only the power it needs for optimal performance. The new architecture also introduces a new generation of AMD Infinity Cache, which is predicted to offer even higher density and lower power caches to reduce the power needs of graphics memory, helping to strengthen AMD RDNA 3 and Radeon graphics as true performance leaders . We’re excited about the improvements we’re making with AMD RDNA 3 and its predecessors, and believe we can get even more out of our architectures and advanced process technologies, delivering unmatched performance per watt across the stack as we continue to push for better gaming. through AMD AMD will reveal its RDNA 3 GPU architecture and Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on November 3rd, with the actual release taking place a few weeks later. Which next-gen flagship GPU will win the overall performance crown? Countdown
