When you’re having a tricky day at work, think about that it may all the time be worse. For instance, somebody over at AMD licensee PowerColor is in a heap of damage proper now, as a result of the corporate unintentionally posted a full itemizing for the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card, full with specs. Does that GPU sound unfamiliar? That’s in all probability as a result of the Radeon RX 7800 XT doesn’t formally exist but. Oops.
There’s been a mid-range gap in AMD’s Radeon 7000 collection because it launched final yr, with the low-end RX 7600 at $270 being the one different card in addition to the $900 RX 7900 XT and $1000 RX 7900 XTX. AMD has confirmed that new “fanatic” playing cards are coming earlier than the top of October, presumably in between these two value factors and on the 7700/7800 stage. However PowerColor’s full-page itemizing, shared on Twitter almost immediately and since taken down, is kind of an official affirmation of its existence.
In keeping with the web page, the PowerColor RX 7800 XT “Pink Satan” will use a brand new Navi 32 GPU design with 3840 stream processors, 60 compute items, a 256-bit reminiscence interface with 576GB/s bandwidth (the identical because the China-only RX 7900 GRE). 16GB of GDDR6 reminiscence places it a bit under the RX 7900 XT in {hardware} energy, although it’s utilizing a barely sooner 2.565GHz boosted clock. There’s no phrase on a value or launch date (besides “third quarter” from the AMD earnings name), and if there’s an RX 7700 card on the market, we don’t find out about it but.
VideoCardz.com recorded the textual content and pictures earlier than they disappeared, noting that you just’ll need no less than an 800-watt energy provide to run the cardboard although there’s no determine for peak energy draw. The pictures present a normal dual-slot design, although it could possibly be chunkier (probably 2.5 slots or a bit extra) with a triple-fan cooling setup and twin 8-pin energy connections.
Although we don’t have an official value, we are able to extrapolate primarily based on the cardboard stage and former releases. For the reason that Radeon RX 6800 XT launched at a retail value of $650 in 2020, I might price range no less than $600 for those who’re hoping to purchase an RX 7800 XT when it comes out. When? Someday within the subsequent three months, if Lisa Su’s introduced timetable holds. PowerColor’s leak signifies it is perhaps earlier than later.
