AMD RX 7800 XT 16GB Leak: N31 fits in Navi 32! (Not a Typo) In a recent YouTube video by Moore's Law is Dead, the host delves into intriguing leaks surrounding AMD's RX 7800 XT 16GB graphics card and its potential use of the Navi 32 architecture. The discussion provides clarity amidst conflicting rumors regarding AMD's upcoming mid-range RDNA3 offerings.

Key Insights:​

  1. Navi 32 & RX 7800 XT Confusion: The video explains the confusion surrounding the RX 7800 XT's specifications due to claims that it might utilize the Navi 32 architecture. The host reasons that it wouldn't be wise for AMD to launch a product that offers performance only slightly above the existing RX 6800 XT .
  2. Market Positioning Strategy: The host emphasizes AMD's current product lineup. It suggests that introducing too many variations may not be necessary, given the market's oversupply of previous generation cards. Instead, he proposes that a 7800 (non-XT) priced at around $500 could effectively fill the gap .
  3. Leaked Specifications: New leaked information suggests a potential launch of cards like the RX 7800 XT featuring 70 compute units (CU) with 16GB of memory and the possibility of a 7700 XT with 48 CUs. This aligns with AMD's strategy to bridge gaps within their product offering .
  4. September Launch: According to the host, a September release for the Navi 32 cards appears likely. Multiple sources have pointed to upcoming models featuring enhanced specifications that could leverage AMD's cost-saving strategies by utilizing the efficiency of shared designs between Navi 31 and Navi 32 architectures .
  5. Laptop Performance: An exciting proposition from the video is the potential for AMD to create a laptop GPU that could rival Nvidia's 4090. This could be achieved by fitting a Navi 31 GPU into a more compact package while optimizing power consumption .

    Implications for Windows Users​

    For gamers and PC enthusiasts within the WindowsForum.com community, these leaks point to a competitive landscape in the GPU market, especially as AMD seems set to challenge Nvidia's pricing and performance tiers. Understanding these developments will help users make informed decisions regarding upgrades or purchases in the near future. Additionally, staying updated about the timing and pricing of these upcoming AMD GPUs could influence choices on when to build or upgrade their PCs, aiming for either better performance or value during the GPU resurgence .
