Four new AMD Radeon 8000 GPUs just had their specs leaked

A bunch of AMD Radeon 8000 specs have simply apparently been leaked on-line, doubtlessly giving us an even bigger image of what’s to come back with the forthcoming AMD RDNA 4 graphics card launch. All 4 of the brand new playing cards look like primarily based on the Navi44 and Navi48 chips which have already appeared in listings elsewhere, but it surely appears like we now even have some details about the VRAM speeds, cache, and reminiscence interfaces.

AMD is predicted to launch its new lineup of RDNA 4 GPUs at CES in January 2025, with rumors pointing to the corporate specializing in mid-range efficiency with this sequence of GPUs, leaving the last word finest graphics card title to the Nvidia RTX 5090.

This newest rumor comes from common tech leaker All The Watts!! who, as ordinary, has supplied a cryptic sequence of numbers in a publish on X (previously Twitter). It appears as if six merchandise are detailed, and All The Watts!! has helpfully supplied some emoji clues to the final two. One has an owl and an angel, which we assume means Strix Halo CPU with its mighty built-in GPU, and the opposite has a US flag and a valley, which we assume refers to AMD’s rumored Sonoma Valley cell chip, which is predicted to be much less highly effective than Strix Halo.

The highest 4 merchandise, nonetheless, look very very like they may consult with new RDNA 4 graphics playing cards, so let’s check out them. The primary set of numbers in every entry is both a 44 or a 48, which we are able to solely assume refers to Navi44 and Navi48. If that is true, we’re trying on the specs for 4 GPUs primarily based on Navi48, and one primarily based on Navi44. Subsequent up is a three-digit quantity, which is both 128, 192, or 256. These look very very like the figures for the width of the reminiscence interface on every GPU, with a 256-bit bus offering extra bandwidth than a 128-bit bus.

The third set of numbers is trickier. They every have two digits, that are both 64, 48, or 32. This might doubtlessly consult with the quantity of L3 cache in every GPU in megabytes. Nevertheless, it may additionally consult with the variety of compute models enabled in every GPU. Not one of the numbers are 56, although, and we’ve already seen a Navi48 GPU with 56 compute models seem within the Geekbench outcomes browser. This makes us suppose these figures usually tend to consult with the quantity of L3 cache within the GPU.

Lastly, the fourth set of numbers every have two digits, that are both 18, 19, or 20, and these figures look very very like they’re referring to the efficient velocity of the VRAM in GHz (or, extra precisely, Gbps), as additionally proven in a current publish by Kepler_L2. What does this all imply? Properly, if we’ve accurately recognized these specs, and AMD sticks to its earlier naming conventions, we are able to begin to paint an image of how these new playing cards may look.

With all this in thoughts, these are the estimated AMD Radeon 8000 specs:

There’s not a lot distinction between the specs of the highest two GPUs right here, however AMD may differentiate these two playing cards additional by disabling a couple of of the compute models on the GPU – this might make the distinction between an XT with 60 CUs and non-XT GPU with 56 CUs, which is likely to be referred to as the Radeon RX 8800 and 8800 XT, for instance. You may then have a Radeon RX 8700 XT with maybe 48 CUs, and an 8600 XT with 32 CUs. That is all pure hypothesis, although.

Certainly, keep in mind that completely none of this has come formally from AMD, and we’re nonetheless very a lot on the rumor and hypothesis stage. We’ll have to attend till AMD formally lifts the lid on its new GPUs earlier than we all know all the small print for certain. Within the meantime, take a look at our AMD Zen 5 information, to see the small print of AMD’s new CPU lineup.
