AMD RDNA3 Specifications Discussion Thread

We’re they planning on decoupling the clockspeeds from the start? The first thing I thought when I read about that was “something’s wrong”.
And if it is was forced by this accident is it possible other chips have this option as well?
 
So this is the slide: https://www.anandtech.com/Gallery/Photo/8202/30

It specifies endnotes 816 and 821. 821 is about AI stuff and 816 seems to just be MIA. Special shoutout to AMD for having the endnotes in completely random order.
816 isn't MIA, here you go
RX-816 ~1.5x Perf/Watt for a 3rdGenerationBased on AMD internal analysis November 2022, on a system configured with a Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU, driver 31.0.14000.24040, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, 32 GBDDR4-7200MHz, ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO (WI-FI) motherboard, set to 300W TBP, on Win10 Pro, versus a similarly configured test system with a 300W Radeon 6900 XT GPU and driver 31.0.12019.16007, measuring FPS performance in select titles. Performance per watt is calculated using the manufacturers’ stated total board power (TBP) of the AMD GPUs listed herein. System manufacturers may vary configurations, yielding different results. RX-816.
 
I was right? I sort of get it? w0000000000000000000000000000000t!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I'll take that as a win for now, I'm in need of one. Thanks. Does this also mean that there could be A1 7900XT/XTX cards coming at a later date or do you think they'll call them 7950?
I would like to know this as well.
Are we getting A1, B1, whatever. Will they try to call this the 7970?
 
Well then, lets hope AMD got their act together by then.
Guess Sony and MS could look at alternatives for their next machines.
Dude, come on...
Just the other day, you were talking about keeping console discussion out of PC GPU architecture threads. What possible insight or use do your posts have here besides a blatant baiting attempt?
You know full well that Sony and MS won't be using Navi 31. So cut that crap out.

How you see this as a negative towards consoles? If amd doesnt improve gen on gen with future releases then console manufacturers have alternatives, perhaps intel?
I hope amd will catch up in the rt department soon enough, these consoles will be in their design phase in perhaps two years?
We also want lower prices in the gpu space.

Its not negative towards consoles, their not going to have to use a certain ihv. In fact i think intel could be happening before nv ever would.

Your agitated by my post but something like this is all good?

Maybe Nvidia doesn't think it needs real performance anymore. If we can generate a bunch of extra frames between real ones and make sure everything is using DLSS3 then we only need 4050's and get 200fps at 4k!

Intel ? Arc was much more fucked up than RDNA3.

Next gen consoles are due out in 2027/2028 when Navi 31 will be a long distant memory.

Console design would start soon-ish though? Atleast four years prior launch, then amd should be up there with intel and nv in about two years. Obviously not rdna3, but rdna5/6 could be closer and we hope thats something alot closer to its competitors.

So now you’re worried for the consoles? You’ve turned from a constant critic to their vanguard. Do you think anyone here is buying that?

Either you’re clueless enough to believe that Sony and MS will put Navi 31 — a 350w TDP behemoth of a package — into their consoles, totally going against the design philosophy of APU’s, or you’re simply trolling.

Also, are you implying that Alchemist is in better shape than Navi 31!?
What a joke.

Just the usual hypocritical political correctness. Now exposed by accident /:D\

Oh, so you have meant just negative console comparisons are not allowed? I have missed this detail and may have to apologize... or.. no. actually not. xD
