Loads of the greatest graphics playing cards get their specs leaked by means of benchmarks earlier than their official launch, and a brand new Geekbench leak for the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 8000 GPU collection continues the pattern.
The graphics card, listed underneath the code designation GFX1201, seems underneath new entries on Geekbench linked to the AMD RDNA4 structure, as reported by VideoCardz. The codename matches with the identifier for the RDNA4 playing cards, as how GFX11 is used for RDNA3 playing cards, so it’s extremely possible that it’s the RX 8000-series.
The RX 8000 graphics card proven in Geekbench has 28 Compute Models (CU) referring to Work Group Processors. When the quantity is correctly doubled it means the graphics card principally possible has 56 CUs and three,584 Stream Processors. It additionally appears that it has a clock velocity of two,101MHz. The leak additionally confirms that the cardboard could have 16GB of VRAM, and although the reminiscence sort hasn’t been confirmed it’s almost definitely GDDR6.
Remember, nevertheless, that even when that is all true, we nonetheless don’t know what sort of pattern graphics card it’s. It may very well be a qualification pattern and even an engineering pattern, which might imply it doesn’t have the complete specs or clock speeds that the ultimate product will characteristic.
That is backed by the truth that each the clock velocity and take a look at outcomes are extraordinarily low, the latter even decrease than the Nvidia GTX 1650 graphics card. So whereas we’ve got some comparatively concrete numbers, not every part is price analyzing at this level. So be certain that to take this leak with a grain of salt till we get the complete image nearer to the RX 8000’s launch.
What’s going to the RX 8000 collection be made for?
Rumors regarding the AMD RX 8000-series powered by RDNA 4 have been surfacing since 2022, with data then hinting at a 2024 launch. Two years later, extra rumors since then have revealed a possible launch window of both late 2024 or 2025.
A latest report implies that the Navi 48 flagship might be making its debut throughout CES 2025, with the Navi 44 coming someday in Q2 2025. Each Navi 44 and 48 are mid-range graphics playing cards, with claims that the latter would match the RX 7900 XTX by way of efficiency however may come at a lower cost level.
One other regarding situation is that stories and rumors have been pointing to the RX 8000 collection being little greater than for minor enhancements, with the RDNA 4 thought of a “bug repair” of types for RX 7000 graphics playing cards. That is seemingly confirmed by different rumors asserting that there received’t be any high-end playing cards for the RX 8000 collection.
Although these graphics playing cards received’t be constructed for energy, the truth that we’re almost definitely getting mid-range playing cards at finances pricing continues to be fairly lucky. To not point out that they’ll be addressing the problems with the 7000 collection, so plainly this can be a web optimistic for avid gamers and different patrons awaiting the next-gen.
