Rumor has it the RX 7700 XT would perform like an RTX 3090, the RX 7950 XT could cost $ 2,000

The youtuber Moore’s Law Is Dead continues to bring us news about the Radeon RX 7000 line, and in this case he not only spoke about its performance, which would double that of the RX 6900 XT with the new RX 7950 XT, but also about its price, the which could also double that of the current line. Plus there’s news on the RDNA4-based RX 8000 line, so don’t miss out.

1 RX 7000 and RX 8000 line price predictions:

1.1 What are your thoughts on these Moore’s Law Is Dead leaks and predictions? Do you think the RX 7700 XT really performs like an RTX 3090 and the RX 7950 XT costs $ 2000?

Translated into Spanish, this is all the information revealed at the moment by the youtuber:

RDNA3 always aimed to have an increase of more than 50% compared to the RX 6900 XT
- At this point I can safely confirm that RDNA3 will increase performance by at least 60%.
- It is still too early to confirm its peak performance, but several reliable sources expect that it will get “practically double” that of the RX 6900 XT.
- Expect big increases in efficiency and performance with Ray Tracing, but also expect the energy consumption of the top model to be much higher than it is today.
People need to remember that maximum theoretical performance and actual performance are not the same
- Just because the top model behaves in a way in the simulations does not mean that it will do so in practice once it is made in silicon, packaged, and requiring refrigeration.
- The organization of the chiplets in the “leader” model has changed many times in recent years.
- Multiple designs were also considered for RDNA2’s top model – Confirmed by Andy Pomianowsky during his presentation on RDNA2 at Hot Chips
- Getting VCache to work in a mass-produced manner significantly increased the confidence behind the peak performance of RDNA3
It is planned that the RADEON 7000 line will “increase the price in almost a complete segment” while the performance will increase several segments.
RDNA3 is expected to be released in the third or fourth half of 2022.

In this way, RDNA3 is expected to offer a big leap in performance over RDNA2, either by 60% or up to 100%, so the performance of the new AMD line will be spectacular. It also appears that part of what will lead to such great performance will be a large number of Streaming Processors, which will increase power consumption even if each Streaming Processor is more efficient than RDNA2. This coincides with previous rumors that RDNA3 could consume up to 500W, in exchange for a beastly performance that could even double that of the RX 6900 XT.

MLID also spoke about RDNA4, clarifying that it must be taken with a grain of salt since it is not 100% confirmed information. This is what he had to say about it:

Early estimates of RDNA4 performance indicate that it will be at least the size of Ampere over Turing.
- One source indicates that + 50% is a conservative estimate.
- It should complete faster than RDNA3. It is estimated that they will be launched “Between the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024”.
- For now, I will only limit myself to mentioning what I have heard about the current design. It doesn’t make much sense this early.
- Additionally, I have been asked to avoid sharing more information to protect RADEON’s competitiveness.

From the looks of it, AMD is aiming to release RDNA4 with a much smaller time difference than there was between RDNA2 and RDNA3, although it will still have performance advantages of at least 50% over RDNA3, which could allow AMD position itself as the market leader for at least a few months if Nvidia continues to maintain its biannual releases and AMD goes on to have annual releases, bringing its technologies to market more quickly. Of course, all of this has to be taken with a grain of salt, although it is good to see that RADEON plans to try to be competitive again.

RX 7000 and RX 8000 line price predictions:

Finally, MLID made predictions about the possible prices that the Radeon RX 7000 and RX 8000 lines could have, and also what their performance would be compared to the graphics that we currently have on the market. All this information corresponds to predictions and not to data from AMD, so it may end up not reflecting at launch:

According to MLID predictions, the RX 7700 XT would already be enough to match the performance of the RTX 3090, the most powerful GPU on the market today, for less than half the price, as the RTX 3090 is priced MSRP of US $ 1499 and obviously its actual price exceeds US $ 2000. In addition, AMD may launch a new range of X950XT products, launching the RX 7950 XT for US $ 1999. The prediction for the RX 7800 XT It is $ 999, which would be a big increase over the $ 649 for the RX 6800 XT, although it could also offer twice the performance, which could justify the large increase in price.

MLID also predicts that prices will rise further on the RX 8000 line, reaching $ 2,500 for the RX 8950 XT, $ 1,200 for the RX 8800 XT, and $ 699 for the RX 8700 XT, marking huge jumps in prices compared to the current generation.

It will be interesting to see how many of these data and predictions turn out to be true, although we will have to wait at least one more year to see if what was said about RDNA3 is true, and two more years about what was said about RNDA4, so the wait will be long. Even so, it is interesting to see what AMD plans, to already anticipate and prepare our pockets and power supplies in case we want to update.
