AMD confirms it will release cheaper Radeon 7000 cards before the end of June
AMD has confirmed it will release cheaper Radeon 7000 cards before the end of June. So far only the RX 7900 XT and XTX were released. Recently a rumor came out about an RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT.
AMD says in a discussion of the quarterly figures that shipments of its graphics cards increased. “We saw strong sales of our high-end Radeon 7900 XTX GPUs in the first quarter, and we are on track to expand our RDNA 3 portfolio with the release of new mainstream Radeon 7000 GPUs this quarter.”
AMD thus confirms that new GPUs will arrive this quarter. There was a rumor about this recently. The Radeon RX 7800 XT is a Navi 32 GPU with 60 compute units. The video card would also have 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256bit memory bus, in addition to four MCD chiplets for a total of 64MB Infinity Cache. The tbp would be 285W. The Radeon RX 7700 XT will be a lower-positioned desktop video card with a Navi 32 GPU. The video card would have 54 CUs and 12GB of memory on a narrower 192-bit memory bus. The video card would also have three additional chiplets for 48MB Infinity Cache. The video card would have a 225W TBP. The Radeon RX 7900 GPUs were released late last year.
AMD posted its first loss in years last quarter. Turnover amounted to $5.4 billion, 9 percent less than a year ago. Net income amounted to -145 million euros, compared to +786 million euros last year. According to the company itself, things are not going badly. “We did well in the first quarter,” said CEO Lisa Su. “We are delivering better than expected revenue and quarterly results in a mixed demand environment.”
