AMD Radeon 7000 Series leak points to 6900 XT performance for 7700 XT

Do you love the idea of having the performance of today’s best graphics cards for gaming, but don’t love the prices or power consumption specs? A recent AMD Radeon 7000 Series leak is bound to draw your attention then. According to a new video from source Moore’s Law is Dead, next generation mid-range graphics card will be far more efficient and perform like today’s best for far less cash.

The focus of the video is on the GPU design of Navi 33 that will expectedly go into the AMD Radeon 7700 XT. The video breaks down some of the leaked specs, plus an early performance estimate as well as what we should expect for pricing.

Moore’s Law is Dead claims that Navi 33 is designed on TSMC 6nm as a monolithic chip, will feature a die size likely within the range of 360-410 square millimeters, a TDP of 180-230W, likely 128MB of Infinity Cache, a PCIe 5.0 x8 connection, and will be paired with 8GBs of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus.

What this all could translate to is a Radeon 7700 XT graphics card comparable in gaming performance to AMD’s current top 6900 XT. However, due to the memory capacity being at just 8GBs, these performance estimates only apply to 1080p and 1440p resolutions, with the card expected to be a bit worse in 4K scenarios.

This would obviously be a huge leap up from the current AMD 6700 XT. AMD’s shift to the Radeon 7000 Series will entail a density increase for the chips to net higher efficiency and better performance, but the 360-410 square millimeter size of Navi 33 could also be far larger than the current 237 square millimeter Navi 23 die.

Along with that, AMD may pump around an extra 50W into the chip along with pairing faster memory for a card that uses more overall power. Note the additional Infinity Cache as
