AMD confirms plans to launch new “enthusiast” Radeon GPUs soon

Dr. Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, simply confirmed that the corporate plans to launch new graphics cards (sure, plural).  Higher nonetheless, these AMD Radeon GPUs will probably be “enthusiast-class” pixel pushers that’ll hopefully present some much-needed correct competitors to Nvidia’s midrange choices.

Whereas the Radeon RX 7000 sequence began robust with RX 7900 XTX main the pack, successors for the RX 6700 and RX 6800 have been MIA for fairly a while now. The absence of those graphics playing cards was all of the extra keenly felt with the discharge of the RX 7600, creating an enormous efficiency hole between AMD’s present technology choices.

Now, it appears to be like like we may see the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT materialize within the coming months, presumably joined by the RX 7700 pixel pushers too. In the course of the AMD Q2 2023 Earnings Name, the corporate’s CEO mentioned it’s “on observe to additional broaden our RDNA 3 GPU choices with the launch of recent, enthusiast-class Radeon 7000 sequence playing cards within the third quarter.”

That “third quarter” Su refers to is the three-month interval beginning in October and ending in December. This strains up with the RX 7800 release date rumors we’ve been listening to for some time now, albeit barely later than anticipated.

With AMD attending Gamescom 2023 later this month, we may even see the corporate reveal its graphics playing cards throughout the occasion and launch them within the following weeks. Both method, we’ll you should definitely assessment every card as quickly as we are able to.

Within the meantime, take a look at our Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 review to see what these potential Radeon GPUs are going up towards.
