AMD Teases Upcoming “Enthusiast” Radeon RX 7000 GPU, First Look At New Reference Design

wccftech.com:

AMD is teasing its upcoming RDNA 3 powered Radeon RX 7000 GPUs which will be unveiled this week at Gamescom 2023.

It looks like AMD is giving attendees of Gamescom 2023 a little teaser of its upcoming Radeon RX 7000 "RDNA 3" GPUs ahead of the full unveil later this week. We know that the company has a full event planned for the unveiling of new products including the "Enthusiast-Class" Radeon RX 7000 GPU family but the company has displayed a cardboard version of the reference design to give an early look at what to expect.

Based on the design, it looks like AMD will once again be going for a triple-fan cooling solution that is likely to be powered by dual 8-pin connectors. This is going to be a dual-slot design and from the looks of it, this is most likely the Radeon RX 7800 XT. The same card will also be available in various custom models, one of which got leaked out early on.

Gamescom 2023 has already commenced and AMD has its own "Highlight Show" planned for the 25th of August at 8 AM (Pacific Time). The event will be hosted by AMD's gaming folks including Frank Azor and Scott Herkelman among other key personalities. Besides the two graphics cards, it is also likely that AMD would give us an official update on HYPR-RX & the highly anticipated FSR 3 tech that was meant to compete against DLSS 3.

Now as far as specifications are concerned, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU is based on the Navi 32 SKU with four MCDs. The GPU core comes with 3840 cores packed within 60 Compute Units. It's configured with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM that operates across a 256-bit wide bus interface, packs 64 MB of Infinity Cache, & operates at an 18 Gbps pin speed for 576 GB/s of total bandwidth. That's RX 7800 XT but we don't know the exact
