Sapphire has revealed in a teaser that it will relaunch the "Vapor-X" graphics card series, which is cooled with the help of an evaporator chamber ("Vapor-Chamber") for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT. That's a return of the series after an absence of more than six years.

After a sabbatical of more than six years, the Vapor-X series—famous for its high-end custom designs and having debuted in 2008 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Vapor-X—is making a comeback with the Radeon RX 7000 series, which utilises the same cooler with Vapor Chamber Technology ("VCT") as the Atomic and Toxic models.

I had to look it up, but the Sapphire Radeon R9 390X Vapor-X was the last in the Vapor-X series, although the Toxic series with AiO water cooler was also represented in the Radeon RX 6900 XT (test). The Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, as well as manufacturers' custom designs based on the RDNA 3 architecture, could change that on December 13.
