There are more and more rumors and leaks about upcoming AMD products. This time, the AdoredTV YouTube channel shared fresh data on upcoming AMD Navi GPUs. The source provides data on the characteristics and prices of the entire new series of AMD video cards, which, according to available data, will be called the Radeon RX 3000. It turns out that if the information about the name is correct, then AMD will have both video cards and processors of the 3000 series.
So, according to the published data, the younger new generation video cards, the Radeon RX 3060 and RX 3070, will be built on the Navi 12 GPU. the presence of 32 stream processors. The more powerful model will likely have a full version of the chip with 2048 CUs, meaning 40 stream processors.
In terms of performance, the Radeon RX 3060 will be approximately equal to the current Radeon RX 580, while the Radeon RX 3070 will become the equivalent of the Radeon RX Vega 56. At the same time, the new items will consume much less power, since the Navi GPUs are made using the 7nm process technology. It is reported that the TDP level of the younger Radeon RX 3060 will be only 75 watts, while the Radeon RX 3070 will fit into 130 watts. Video cards will receive 4 and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, respectively.
New mid-range Radeon graphics cards will be built on Navi 10 GPUs. According to rumors, AMD is preparing three models: Radeon RX 3070 XT, RX 3080 and RX 3080 XT. The first will be built on a GPU version with 48 CUs and 3072 stream processors, the second will be built on a version with 52 CUs and 3328 stream processors, and finally the third will offer 56 CUs and 3584 stream processors. It is known that the Radeon RX 3080 model will receive 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, but, unfortunately, nothing is known about the configurations of the memory subsystem in other models.
In terms of performance, the Radeon RX 3070 XT will be approximately equal to the Radeon RX Vega 64. The Radeon RX 3080 will offer approximately 10% more power, and the older Radeon RX 3080 XT should already be equal to the GeForce RTX 2070. As for power consumption, then, according to source, it will be 160, 175 and 190 watts, respectively. And when compared with the Radeon RX Vega 64, there is a significant increase in efficiency. But the same GeForce RTX 2070 has a lower TDP level - 175 W, versus 190 W for the Radeon RX 3080 XT. And this is somewhat alarming, but, fortunately, AMD has another trump card, which we will talk about at the end.
In the meantime, let's say a few words about AMD's future flagships. They will be Radeon RX 3090 and RX 3090 XT video cards built on Navi 20 GPUs. It is worth noting right away that these chips and video cards based on them will be released later, most likely by the end of this year or the beginning of next year. It is also possible that AMD will first use Navi 20 in professional devices, in particular, future Radeon Instinct computing accelerators, and only then they will appear in consumer video cards.
Be that as it may, according to the source, the Radeon RX 3090 will receive a GPU version with 3840 stream processors (60 CU), while the older Radeon RX 3090 XT will offer a full version of the chip with 64 CU and 4096 stream processors, respectively. The Radeon RX 3090 graphics card will be roughly equal in performance to the Radeon VII, while the Radeon RX 3090 XT will be 10% faster. At the same time, the TDP level of the new products will be 180 and 225 W, respectively, which is a significant improvement compared to the Radeon VII and its 295 W.
But, as mentioned above, the key feature of future AMD video cards will not be their characteristics at all, but the price. According to the source, new AMD will cost no more than $500. Yes, a flagship with more performance than the Radeon VII will cost as little as $500. And you can get GeForce RTX 2070-level performance for as little as $330 with the Radeon RX 3080 XT. Other new items will also have a nice price tag, from $140 for the younger Radeon RX 3060. Of course, if the rumors are true.
