"It's speculated that AMD's next move is to unveil the Navi 32, a GPU from its RDNA 3-based lineup which would position itself between the existing Navi 31 and Navi 33 GPUs."
In other news, we speculate that Intel is about to release its 14th-generation CPUs, which will position itself between the current 13th-generation CPUs and future 15th-generation CPUs. XD
There is no guarantees that AMD releases every die, or that the die will be released now. The next product could be a 7800 XT that is further yielded from the China-exclusive 7900GRE or whatever the branding is.
I’m figuring the gap-filling will be announced, but the “major” part will be early benchmarks and release timeframe (at least ballpark) for the 8900 SKUs.
> While AMD does not disclose what exactly it plans to announce at Gamescom, it is about time for AMD to fill a gap in its Radeon RX 7000-series product line that spans from the Radeon RX 7600 ($270) and goes all the way to the Radeon RX 7900 XT ($900).
That's cool, but I'd really like to see one or two sub-$200 options. And, a sub-$100 "better than an iGPU" option would also be welcome. (Ideally with some low-profile, bus-powered options!)
Okay, I agree, but the original post never said anything like that. Only that they wanted a $200~$100 option. In that pricing bracket, there are two cards. The RX 6500XT and RX 6400. Not even the already quite bad RTX 3050 is priced that low. Seeing how much of a wash this year is, I don't think it's worth buying an RX7500XT or RTX4050 at MSRP. You would be better off buying clearance RTX3000.
Video card prices have gotten stupid expensive. I was browsing video card reviews from 15 years ago, and the top of the line 4870 was $299, with the barely slower 4850 at $199, the 4670 at $99, and the 4650 at $79. So the range of prices for gaming cards was $79 to $299 for the full range. NVidia was roughly competitive with their 9000 series.
Now in 2023 the RX 7600 is about the same price as the top of the line used to be, and the top of the line for AMD is $900.
(Granted there's been inflation, but that's only 42% officially, so the $299 card should be $425.)
My true hope is a 7900 XTX 48GB "ML Edition." Yes, AMD technically has a pro market to segment, but for heavens sake, they have so little to lose on the ML front.
I dont get why Intel hasn't done this already. I would have bought a cheap 32GB A770 without even blinking... maybe more than one.
I can also see AMD introducing the V cache 7900 variant they passed om before.
Personally, I call a new generation, or maybe a complete refresh, "major", not the addition of one or two new GPUs. That's more in the "moderate" category.
ML and AI is such high demand right now I'm shocked anyone is making GPUs. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia left the gaming market for a while. It's crazy how much money they are making on the AI front.

Would you prefer that they NOT announce new products this quarter?GreenReaper - Thursday, August 17, 2023 - link
Yes. This year is a wash. Roll on 2024.meacupla - Thursday, August 17, 2023 - link

This is what clearance sales are for.StevoLincolnite - Friday, August 18, 2023 - link
We shouldn't be waiting on sales for GPU's to be priced at a sensible level.cmdrdredd - Friday, August 18, 2023 - link
Anything priced at $200 would be a card that renders new games at unplayable framerates.meacupla - Friday, August 18, 2023 - link

Also, the 7900 XT is not the top end card. The 7900 XTX is.DirtyLoad - Saturday, August 19, 2023 - link
Stuka87, what that line means is they don't have any cards that fill the gap between the 7900xt and the 7600.barleyguy - Wednesday, August 30, 2023 - link

Haha sub-$200 and sub-$100. That's what Goodwill stores are for. Go grab an old Nvidia 9600GT.brucethemoose - Thursday, August 17, 2023 - link

They don't let ROCm run on consumer Radeons (or in Windows) at the moment, so that would be a weird product for them to make.Makaveli - Thursday, August 17, 2023 - link
That won't happen for the reason you posted.It will hurt sales for the pro gpus

Nothing any company has ever made even comes close the the stunning longevity of the GMA950.
