After the release of the flagship RX 7900 XT/XTX, it is reasonable to expect that we’ll finally get to see mid-range and low-end RDNA 3 boards in the coming months. So, what can we expect from the upcoming AMD GPUs? This is exactly what Paul from RedGamingTech has attempted to answer as he has shared hardware specifications and performance estimates for the RX 7800 XT, RX 7700 XT, RX 7600 XT, and RX 7600.
Starting with the upper midrange RX 7800 XT, Paul claims that the board will feature 60 Compute Units (CU), 64 MB of Infinity Cache (IC), 16 GB of VRAM at 20 Gbps, a 256-bit wide bus, and a Total Board Power (TBP) of 280 W. The RX 7800 XT’s game and boost clock speeds could fall close to 2.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz respectively.
One step down the stack we have the RX 7700 XT that is reportedly coming with 48 CU, 12 GB of 20 Gbps VRAM, a 192-bit bus, 48 MB of IC, and a 225 W TBP. Both the game and boost clocks on the RX 7700 XT will allegedly be 200 MHz lower than the RX 7800 XT.
Next, the Navi 33-based RX 7600 and 7600 XT are reportedly rocking 28/32 CU, 32 MB of IC, 8 GB of VRAM, a 128-bit wide bus, and 140/180 W TBP ratings. Aside from slightly higher TBP for the RX 7600 XT, the card could also have 200 MHz faster game (2.5 GHz) and boost (2.8 GHz) clock frequencies vs the RX 7600. Paul also mentions that the RX 7600 non-XT will also have slower 16 Gbps memory.
When it comes to the performance of the GPUs, Paul suggests that the RX 7800 XT will match the RX 6950 XT while the RX 7700 XT will be equal to that of an RX 6800. To put these numbers into perspective, the RX 6950 XT is, on average, about 25% faster than the RX 6800 XT in 3DMark Time Spy Graphics meaning the RX 7800 XT could possibly bring a 25% performance improvement over its predecessor.
Similarly, the RX 6800 is about 40% more performant than the RX 6700 XT in 3DMark Time Spy Graphics per our testing. So, if Paul’s report is accurate, the RX 7700 XT will see a considerable performance improvement over the RX 6700 XT.
Lastly, the RX 7600 and the RX 7600 XT will allegedly equal the performance of an RX 6650 XT/6700 XT, while the RX 7600 could perform similarly to an RX 6600 XT/6650 XT. These performance targets are in line with the figures we reported previously.
It bears repeating that, because these aren't official specs, take the information with caution.
