This is so exciting! I want news of new GPUs and boards 😀

AMD going after 4070 market, I guess.

Maybe they are going to slap 1GB or more of cache on the GPU to compensate. Yarrrrh. 😀

It's probably why AMD has implemented four levels of caching for their discrete RDNA GPUs that takes care for most of the critical bandwidth needs at the expense of less silicon space for fancy features, i.e. weaker RT and AI hardware acceleration. It affords them to stick with cheaper memory options, while offering SKUs with larger VRAM size compared to equivalent models from Nvidia at more competitive pricing. Better have more of a bit slower memory than not enough of a faster one -- a calculated compromise I guess.

Suggests they are either going to rebrand the 7xxx series, or have cut back on dev for the 8xxx series.

I guess rumors that RDNA 4 will not bring out high end cards this time around may be true.

Just price it right AMD.

This. We've already had news that they are not going for the highest end part so... if it's mid-tier with a good price, then it's a welcome product in my opinion.

Are we actually talking RDNA 4 here, or RDNA 3.5? Because the next release is basically just a minor update; practically a refresh. I don't care what the memory bandwidth is so long as it isn't a bottleneck.

this is the 7900 GRE task... for 500 to 600 Euro.

High end are only for the hype, mid segment are for the sale (since few year even NVidia do like that) Right now everything in computer, near 1000 euro doesn't sell (exept on pro side of course). Next year it will be even worse 🙁

It doesn't even matter what they pack on those PCBs... benchmarks will show how they perform, and that's what people should truely look forward too. I hope we get benchmarks soon and that AMD gives Nvidia headaches.

I think it will be more like 7900xt/4070ti super competitor at lower price. AMD will probably intruduce more features with rdna4, better upscaling and improved raytracing. 7900gre is nice but it will get smacked by the 8800xt at similar price point.
