AMD's ROCm 5.6 lists numerous unannounced Radeon RX 7000-series graphics cards.

AMD has introduced only two RDNA 3-based graphics cards so far, and both are aimed at demanding enthusiasts with deep pockets. While it is obvious that AMD intends to expand its Radeon RX 7000-series with new models, it is unclear what exactly the company is prepping and when. But a newly uncovered AMD ROCm 5.6 pull request noticed by a Reddit user may shed some light on AMD's intentions.  

As it turns out, AMD is prepping a bunch of new Radeon RX 7000-series products, including Radeon RX 7950 XTX, 7950 XT, 7800 XT, 7700 XT, 7600 XT, and 7500 XT for desktop computers as well as Radeon RX 7600M XT, 7600M, 7700S, and 7600S for laptops. Several things strike the eye with this list.

    hopefully the 7500xt will have at least 8GB of VRAM.

  • Secondly, the pull request includes Radeon RX 7800 XT based on the Navi 31 GPU, but there is no sign of a vanilla Radeon RX 7800.

    Make some corrections in your article. RX 7800XT is based on NAVI 32, and the remaining mainstream cards will sport NAVI 33 GPU core.

    The AMD RDNA 3 GPU portfolio actually is based on three main chips, the Navi 31, Navi 32, and Navi 33.

    The Navi 31 GPU is the "GFX1100" and codenamed Plum Bonito, the Navi 32 GPUs are mentioned under "GFX1101" and codenamed Wheat Nas, while the Navi 33 GPUs are designated as "GFX1102" and codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. What funny names by the way.

    There's also a GFX1103 design which is aimed at integrated IPs such as APUs, unless I'm mistaken.

    Non-XT models are also likely to appear sooner or later.

    Been thinking about that. They have easy chances for name confusion if they don't give the XT branding to all cards.

    As you can imagine, marketing a computer with a Ryzen 5 7600 and an RX 7600 would be perhaps a little misleading. Not that adding XT makes it much better, but at least it doesn't appear in the CPU names (And that is precisely when AMD will launch a R9-7950XT to make this wrong)

    Thanks. Wanted to post this, but you already did.

    However, this lineup doesn't make sense to me, at least with the 7700 XT. In most likelihood, based on rumours and current RDNA 3 cards, Navi 33 will be slower than Navi 22. Therefore having a 7700 XT based on Navi 33 doesn't make sense. It also means that Navi 32 won't have a lower end SKU, which is problematic for yields.

    My thought is that it's either a typo or, as someone speculated on the Reddit thread, a placeholder for the real list.

    Confidence is low at this point, but I'd love to see a compelling 7700 XT to replace my 5700 XT.

    I assume there will be more, they won't only refresh the top level cards. True, they need to release the first gen of everything below a 7900xt first

    Its hardly a surprise.

    I could see it like this.

    7500=6gb
    7600=8gb
    7700=10gb
    7800=12gb probably 16 though

    And on up the stack. Maybe trying to compete with the 4090?

    Seems like they should put some effort into professional cards though.

    I agree with this. It would be strange if there would be only one GPU using navi32 (7800 XT)
    Unless navi32 is found out to be useless in which case it could be possible that they will newer put 7800XT to the market and just move 7700xt to tier below and use the best navi33.
    But if navi 32 come to the market it does need cut down option.... And it has to be 7700xt or 7800 non xt.

    It depends on how they cut the die... But if 7700 use navi 33, the max is 8Gb...
    If it is cut down navi32, then who knows.

    Do we have any info about navi32. Memory bus?
    I am very doubtful about anything considering navi32 at this moment... They could drop it out completely in this generation.

    True. They seem to have stock of last gen cards. Perhaps they want to sell through those first?
