AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24 GB & RX 7900 XT 20 GB “RDNA 3” Graphics Cards Leak Out

https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-24-gb-rx-7900-xt-20-gb-rdna-3-graphics-cards-leak-unveil-next-week/

Now that I think about it... The only leaks that we have been getting recently are in regards to the 7900XT/XTX... I get the feeling AMD is going Nvidia's route and will only be offering high end replacements but we will see...

And could be for the same reason: To sell out their stock of last gen GPUs first. Both AMD and NVidia probably ordered way too many chips during the height of the crypto boom and chip crisis, and are now sitting on big stocks of unsold chips and GPUs that need to get cleared out first.

Given that they'll launch the first RDNA3 cards, the two 7900 by the end of November or early December, it makes sense that we don't get as many leaks about the other GPUs that are further away and will probably get announced/launched by CES.

And there's also the fact that we get a lot less leaks/rumors regarding AMD's GPUs than Nvidia's, which further explains why we've got so little info regarding Navi 32 & 33.

Some AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Desktop CPUs Comes With Dual Zen 4 CCDs

Luckily only one CCD is active so they aren't doing some wacky 3 cores per CCD. Still a bit unusual as previous Zen CPUs had one CCD for lower end chips.

Yeah, I saw the video when Der 8auer found it out by surprise.

Maybe AMD ordered too many chiplets and are using this to get rid of excessive stocks? Though that would be very wasteful for them, it would be nice if someone could disassemble one of those extra chiplets and see if they could be functional if correctly wired to the I/O chip.

I doubt AMD will throw away perfectly working chiplets just for the sake of it. They're not rich enough for that.

Those are probably dead chiplets that, for some reason, AMD decided to install on the CPU, but hell if I know why they did it. (Maybe for a structural purpose to give the heatspreader a better support?)
