AMD discusses RDNA 3 graphics at Ryzen 7000 series launch event
During their Ryzen 7000 series reveal stream, AMD publically demoed a RDNA 3 based graphics card with a new Zen 4 processor. Here, AMD teased their new RDNA 3 GPU design, which appears to be similar to their Radeon RX 6000 series products, albeit with what appears to be a mostly black aesthetic.
Below, you can see a triple-fan RDNA 3 based graphics card that features an updated heatsink design and an unknown power connector. AMD's teaser is designed to reveal no real details about their upcoming RDNA 3 graphics cards, though it is encouraging to see that AMD's new "Made By AMD" heatsinks are as robust as their predecessors.
When describing their RDNA 3 based graphics products, AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, stated that its "performance looks absolutely wonderful" and that their new graphics architecture will deliver a 50% increase in performance per watt over their current-generation RDNA 2 designs.
At their live event, AMD also showcased a Ryzen R9 7950X processor running Lies of P at 4K with Ultra settings with a Radeon RDNA 3 based graphics card. No performance info was shown, though the CPU/GPU setup appeared to run the game with a smooth framerate.
Sadly, AMD did not reveal when we could expect to hear more about their Radeon RDNA 3 based graphics cards, though Lisa Su did confirm that RDNA 3 would be ready to launch this year.
