amd you have everything ready to present RadeonRX7000its next generation of graphics built with the architecture RDNA3. The company has made it difficult for the leakers, so much so that the little information we have been able to obtain shows contradictory scenarios, since at first it was speculated that they would be clearly behind RTX 40, but then information appeared indicating that the division Radeon does have the material to deal with NVIDIA’s latest generation graphics. Whatever the truth, surely we will begin to have answers from tomorrow.
AMD, through its CEO, Lisa Su, has reported a drop in revenue during the last quarter, a situation that aims to continue in the immediate future seeing that the Ryzen 7000 processors are far from selling well. The decline in revenue has also affected dedicated Radeon graphics, for which demand has fallen in recent times. However, the board has shown optimism around RDNA 3 technology.
Lisa Su has commented that “Our high-end RDNA 3 GPUs will deliver strong performance and performance-per-watt increases over our current products and will include new features to support high-resolution, high-frame-rate gaming. We look forward to sharing more details later this week.”.
The statements of the CEO of AMD are in line with the most recent information, which said that RX 7000 would be a rival for RTX 40, but in the absence of an official release to the market and that it be tested, for now it is better to take all those data with caution, more seeing that Radeon’s main handicap is not so much in the power that its hardware is capable of offering, but in rescaling technologies or supersampling and ray tracingwhere even Intel seems to be ahead of AMD.
At the level of features, RX 7000 can include new things oriented to games that support high resolutions and high frame rates, which, said like this, one can understand that they refer to last generation video games, since the Half-Life of 1998, at At least in theory, it should easily run at 4K and very high frame rates.
FSR 3, third generation of upscaling technology, will be AMD’s response to DLSS 3 which, with its successes and failures, remains the leader in its segment. However, the technology coming from Radeon could cover several generations of GPUs, while DLSS 3, at least for now, is limited to RTX 40. In addition, it is expected that FSR 3 makes use of WMMA (Wave Matrix-Multiple Accumulate Instructions) hardware acceleration, which would open the door to being a more worthy rival to NVIDIA’s supersampling technology..
In addition, RDNA 3 is expected to provide a very noticeable improvement in performance per watt, up to more than 50% compared to the equivalent models of the previous generation (the RX 6000 that use RNDA 2), and all this with consumption levels that point to being within reason. Other interesting details of the new architecture are refined adaptive power management, which will take care of setting workload-specific operating points to ensure that the GPU only uses the power required, and next-generation infinite cache, which It will offer higher density caches and lower power consumption.
Tomorrow we will know a good part of what it really is and it will offer RDNA 3, in addition to at least two high-end graphics cards of the RX 7000 generation. Hopefully AMD will dare more and also show some mid-range models, but it seems that both NVIDIA and Radeon they will wait to clean up stock of RTX 30 and RX 6000.
