Geekbench has identified a new graphics card within the Radeon RX 8000 series Based on its specifications, this model could be the Radeon RX 8700 XT, because yes 56 computing units8 fewer computing units than the Radeon RX 8800 XT.

Before I continue, I want to clarify one thing that is very important, that with the latest rumors and alleged leaks that happened recently, the possible specifications of Radeon RX 8700 XT and Radeon RX 8800 XT have changed and their shader counts has decreased considerably.

AMD has yet to confirm the specs of either graphics card, so these rumors are just that reputation. We just have to wait for the official information to appear that will allow us to start clearing the doubts we have right now with this generation of graphics cards.

In any case, it is important that thanks to the increase in frequencies that the Radeon RX 8000 will eventually receive his raw power would be very close than those that offer models with more shaders.

Possible specifications of Radeon RX 8700 XT

• Navi 48 graphics core made on TSMC’s 4nm node.
• Four L3 cache chiplets, each 16MB in size, built on TSMC’s 6nm node.
• 56 computing units.
• 3,584 shaders at 3 GHz.
• 224 texturing units.
• 96 raster units.
• 56 third-generation cores to accelerate ray tracing.
• 128 second generation cores for AI.
• 256-bit bus.
• 16 GB of GDDR6 memory at 20 Gbps (640 GB/s bandwidth).
• 4 MB L2 cache.
• 64 MB L3 cache externalized on four chips.

This configuration is slightly higher than what we can find in the Radeon RX 7700 32.33 TFLOPs and the Radeon RX 8700 XT would achieve 43 TFLOPs.

Also worth highlighting are the changes that AMD will introduce with the RDNA 4 architecture and that could twice the number of ray tracing cores for each computing unit. If confirmed, the improvement in ray tracing performance that the Radeon RX 8000 would offer over the current generation would be huge and allow AMD to close the gap on NVIDIA in this regard, at least until those in green GeForce RTX 50. .

We recently saw a rumor that suggested these changes to the Radeon RX 8000 specs and said that AMD had played with these graphics cards and that they would indeed make it to market. at the end of this year.
