AMD used the Ryzen 7000 presentation event to show the final design that the Radeon RX 7000 will have, its next-generation graphics card based on the RDNA3 architecture, which will also launch later this year. As we can see from the cover image, there are some interesting changes compared to the original Radeon RX 6000 design.

The first thing that is clear is that the model in the picture it’s high end, we only have to look at the size of the aluminum radiator and the bulky cooling system it contains. And speaking of cooling, so that operating temperatures are not a problem, the reference design of the Radeon RX 7000 will have three fansat least in its most powerful models.

On the contrary, models framed in the upper middle and middle range should have a more decent cooling system, i.e. with a radiator less bulky and with two fans, something similar to what we saw in the Radeon RX 6700 XT. This has a very simple explanation, that the heat dissipation needs of these ranges are lower than those of the high range.

There is no doubt about the design of the Radeon RX 7000 have things in common with the original Radeon RX 6000, such as the huge heatsink and triple fan setup, but we also see big changes like completely black surface with silver nuances and white LED lighting. The last one is very strange because until now AMD has used red color to give its graphics a distinctive touch. This is quite normal, as the Radeon series has always been marked with this color.

Unfortunately, we can’t see anything clear from the technical side of the image, as AMD didn’t even show the power connectors. During the demonstration, the Sunnyvale company the expected lies of P took place under Radeon RX 7000 with RDNA3 GPU and Ryzen 9 7950X and said the performance is “incredible”. This game was running 4K resolution with all graphic settings at maximum.

I think it’s likely that what we see in the cover image is the Radeon RX 7900 XT or 7950 XT, AMD’s new flagship for the graphics sector, which will be based on the Navi 31 GPU and which, according to the latest information I have could rely on 12,228 shaders and 24 GB of GDDR6 memory. AMD CEO Lisa Su has confirmed that this new generation of graphics cards will be ready end of this year. We don’t have more details, so at this point we can only wait for AMD to decide to give more clues.
