AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 Series is hugely popular, offering great performance gains compared to earlier graphics cards and allowing it to compete more directly with the Nvidia RTX 30 Series. Despite the fact that it’s still a tough task picking up an RX 6000 Series graphics card, AMD is hard at work on the next-gen Radeon RX 7000 Series behind closed doors.
We outline all there is to know about the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series right here, including release date and pricing speculation and RDNA 3-themed leaks too.
When will the AMD Radeon RX 7000 Series be released?
While many assumed that AMD would follow its yearly release schedule for the next-gen Radeon RX 7000 Series with a reveal in late 2021, but as we now know, that wasn’t the case. In fact, sources suggest that the company has pushed back the launch by an entire year, now expected sometime in Q4 2022.
The rumour comes from Twitter leaker @Broly_X1 who has a decent track record, also correctly predicting the three main talking points at AMD’s Computex 2021 keynote in June. The leaker suggests in a now-deleted tweet that AMD is aiming for a Q4 2022 launch, and suggests that AMD’s Ryzen 7000 chipset will launch “around the same time”.
While that’ll inevitably come as a disappointment to some, it makes a lot of sense given the current issues around the worldwide semiconductor shortage affecting CPUs, GPUs and other tech of all shapes and sizes. The fact that AMD can’t produce enough of the current Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs to keep up with demand means the company doesn’t have much of an incentive to launch the next-gen kit.
The good news is that the 2022 release seems to be on track.
In a January 2022 earnings call, CEO Dr. Lisa Su provided investors with an insight into how development is going. Dr. Su says the company is looking forward to a strong year as “we ramp our current products and launch our next wave of Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs”.
The CEO is also confident that supply issues will ease this year, claiming that the company has “made significant investments in wafer capacity, as well as substrate capacity and back-end capacity” that should make it easier to buy an AMD graphics card.
