AMD’s next GPU just leaked, and it could give Nvidia trouble

Just a day after AMD announced its plans to launch new Radeon 7000 desktop GPUs at its quarterly earnings call, we’ve got credible information on one of the upcoming models. AMD GPU board partner PowerColor briefly posted a listing for its upcoming Radeon RX 7800 XT with complete specifications before pulling down the page.

The listing was spotted by Twitter user @All_The_Watts who had previously shared alleged performance numbers for the RX 7700 and RX7800. According to the page, the PowerColor RX 7800 XT ‘Red Devil’ graphics card will feature 3840 stream processors, 60 compute units, and a 256-bit memory interface with 576GB/s bandwidth. It will feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory and offer boost clock speeds that can go up to 2,565 MHz in OC mode.

While there’s no confirmation on the power consumption, we do know that the GPU will come with two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. PowerColor does recommend an 800W power supply unit as the minimum. Considering the previous-gen Radeon RX 6800 XT came with a power rating of 300W with two power connectors, we can expect anything between 250-300W. Like most modern GPUs, this one is also listed to have four video out ports including three DisplayPort 2.1 and one HDMI 2.1.

The product listing page also includes a notice that says, “The entire information provided herein are for reference only. PowerColor reserves the right to modify or revise the content at any time without prior notice.” Essentially, the page could very well be a placeholder until AMD officially announces the graphics card. Thus, it is best to not heighten your expectations.

As for the price, we don’t have any indicators, but if AMD can target the $600 to $650 mark then it could give Nvidia’s RTX 40-series a run for its money. We’ve already seen how impressive the RX 7900 XT and the 7900 XTX are, and if AMD can keep the momentum going, we could have a new entry on the list of the best graphics cards.

AMD’s canceled GPU could have crushed Nvidia
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.

For months now, we've been hearing rumors that AMD gave up on its best graphics card from the upcoming RDNA 4 lineup, and instead opted to target the midrange segment. However, that doesn't mean that such a GPU was never in the works. Data mining revealed that the card may indeed have been planned, and if it was ever released, it would've given Nvidia's RTX 4090 a run for its money.

The top GPU in question, commonly referred to as Navi 4C or Navi 4X, was spotted in some patch information for AMD's GFX12 lineup -- which appears to be a code name for RDNA 4. The data was then posted by Kepler_L2, a well-known hardware leaker, on Anandtech forums. What at first glance seems to be many lines of code actually reveals the specs of the reportedly canceled graphics card.

The Nvidia RTX 4080 Super just trounced AMD

Whether you pick the RTX 4080 Super or the RX 7900 XTX, you're getting a powerful GPU that's capable of seamless gaming at 4K. But which one is better for the money? There used to be a clear answer to that question when we were only dealing with the RTX 4080, but the release of its Super successor made it a lot less straightforward.

Both the RTX 4080 Super and the RX 7900 XTX are among the best graphics cards that money can buy. While they're close in performance, they're not exactly the same, and the scales might now be tipping in an unexpected direction.

AMD just did Nvidia a serious favor

AMD and Nvidia are always competing when it comes to producing the best graphics card of the year. It's safe to say that they both always try, but AMD's latest attempt feels like it may seriously backfire.

The new RX 7600 XT feels like an attempt to fix problems with the original RX 7600, but it ends up being something that Nvidia should be sending AMD a fruit basket for.
AMD repeated Nvidia's mistakes
Nvidia's RTX 40-series is, for the most part, a success. The addition of DLSS 3 made the lower-tier cards really pop, and the flagship RTX 4090 offers a massive generational uplift. But Nvidia made a couple of mistakes with this generation, and surprisingly, AMD repeated them both with the RX 7600 XT.
