Dean Ambrose™ Posted November 26, 2023 Posted November 26, 2023 The first data on AMD's upcoming gaming graphics cards have been released. Thanks to the latest LLVM patch for Linux we know the codename of two of AMD's upcoming GPUs. Specifically, the patch defines certain aspects of the GFX1200 and GFX1201 that would refer to the silicon for the new AMD Radeon RX 8000 Series graphics. Rumors around the NVIDIA RTX 40 SUPER have been growing in recent weeks. Everything indicates that they could be presented during the CES in Las Vegas, which is scheduled for the second week of January 2024. While by the end of next year NVIDIA could launch the RTX 50 Series. There are several unknowns with the new AMD graphics, since there are different rumors about them. The most notable is that they could use a chiplet design, just like the design of the Ryzen processors, although of course, that is not confirmed. AMD would be preparing the ground for the RX 8000 Series As is normal, before launching a new component, it must be "seeded" so that it performs well when it is launched. We know that AMD is a big fan of open source and that it takes great care of its relationship with the Linux community. Hence many "leaks" of their graphics cards are due to the patches for these distributions. The title of the latest LLVM notes makes it very clear. Indicates that the new objectives are defined for the GFX1200 and GFX1201. It is also indicated in the title that it is for AMD GPUs. Since GFX12 references have never appeared before, it is logical to think that they refer to the new RDNA4 GPUs. We must highlight that GFX11 referred to RDNA3. Note that RDNA4 would not be released in the next few weeks or months, it would be released at the end of 2024. It will hit the market at a time close to the next NVIDIA RTX 50 Series, if all goes well. The name GFX1200 has already been associated with the Navi 41 silicon in the past. Some rumors have suggested that AMD has canceled the high-end Navi 4x that would have a chiplet design. The company would once again target the generalist and high-end gaming segment. You should know that, traditionally, AMD has considered a high-end product to be any graphics card that exceeds 600 euros. For these products it uses its best silicon, adjusting the number of cores available, obviously. It's about a year away, so don't worry. On the other hand, we have tweeter Olrak29_ who talks about Navi 44 and Navi 48. These two are entry-level silicon that could refer to graphics cards for laptops. Although we return to what we did before, there is still about a year left until they are officially presented. If AMD follows the current strategy (which is the same as NVIDA) they will show the high-end graphics first. Later we will see the mid-range and, initially, as well as the solutions for laptops. And for this to happen, if everything goes according to plan, it will take at least a year... so we will have to be patient. In any case, there will surely be leaks and rumors about it, so we will keep you informed. There is great expectation to see what AMD graphics cards based on chiplet design will be like. It will be interesting to see how they perform and if they can offer the definitive performance leap to catch up with NVIDIA. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/filtados-linux-amd-rx-8000-series/
