AMD Radeon RX 6900XT — The largest Big Navi model, the Radeon RX 6950XT, will be given a successor by AMD at the end of the year.

At the end of 2022 AMD will present its new Zen 4 and RDNA 3 platform. There is a new rumor from Leaker Greymon55 about the third Radeon DNA architecture, according to which the first Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards should appear from the end of October.

Two years ago, the end of October was pretty much exactly the time when AMD presented its Radeon RX 6000 series before they were released to go on sale over the course of November to December 2020 – at least according to plan, when the GPU crisis would not have grabbed. A month earlier, it’s the turn of Zen 4 or Ryzen 7000: the CPU architecture that will replace Ryzen 500 on the desktop.

If previous rumors are right, the Radeon RX 7900 (Navi 31) will start, before the next smaller GPUs will probably follow with Navi 33 and 32. By the way, autumn from September / October also brings the first RTX40 card. Nvidia also wants to start with the flagship. Previously, the editions with an “8” in the chip name (RX 6800 and RTX 3080) marked the start of the new generation.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 (XT) is said to be the first graphics card for mere mortals that relies on PCI Express 5. A total of 24 GB of VRAM with a 384-bit connection should reduce the gap to the Nvidia flagship and provide creative workers with the appropriate reserves.

Both the RTX 4090 and the 7900 (XT) are said to be near or above the 100 TFLOPs range in raw performance. Recently, support for DisplayPort 2.0 was rumored, which would make 8K resolutions with 120Hz including HDR possible.

A dual-die design consisting of 30 to 60 RDNA workgroups with up to 15,360 cores should provide the necessary computing power. The Infinity Cache debuted with RDNA 2 is said to be doubled or tripled. We will add more information as soon as possible. It remains to be seen whether these will come true. What is certain is that the GPU market will be very exciting again at the end of the year.
