AMD has unveiled the first graphics cards to feature the company’s new RDNA graphics architecture. The Radeon RX 7900 XT is a high-performance desktop GPU that will be available December 13th for $899, while the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is an even higher performance version that will sell for $999.
The company says RDNA 3’s performance-per-watt is more than 50% higher than RDNA 2, but due to a number of other improvements, we can expect the new GPUs to offer even bigger performance gains over the previous-gen Radeon RX 6900 series. Unfortunately there’s no word yet on when the new GPU architecture will make its way to mobile devices.
AMD introduces Radeon RX 7900 series graphics cards based on RDNA 3 architecture, and featuring chiplet design, AI acceleration, 2nd-gen ray-tracing, and DisplayPort 2.1 support, among other things. Coming in December for $999 and up. https://t.co/XypVsEJ09G pic.twitter.com/EPcR7Aont7
