Ada in particular was recently in the rumor mill, but now there’s something to report on the Radeon RX 7000 as well. navigation must have three models.
At the moment, the rumor mill mainly knows about the Geforce RTX 4000, but there is actually a statement from a Twitter oracle about the Radeon RX 7000. According to “Greymon55”, the goal for the Radeon RX 7900XT is 19,000 points (or a little more ) in 3D Mark Timespy Extreme. That would be the level that is also expected for the Geforce RTX 4090. Greymon55 also promises that the points can increase, but with more power consumption. AMD itself had already made it known that given the competition, it felt compelled to ignore the issue of power consumption and prioritize performance instead.
At least the number of oracle points doesn’t quite fit into the chart above, which may have changed. Until now, Navi 31 has always looked a bit behind Nvidia’s top models, because the card also has fewer FP32 ALUs, according to the latest statement, and more clocking is not a panacea. According to the latest rumors, the full Navi 31 expansion should contain a GCD with a maximum of 48 WGP, 12 SA and 6 SE. This would result in 12,288 SM and one would expect the chip to be roughly in the area of the Geforce RTX 4080. 3D Center’s “Leonidas” cites as a possible (partial) explanation that AMD benefits from overall good performance on the TSE.
The Youtuber “Red Gaming Tech” also names three models for each navigation chip. Navi 31 will be offered with 48, 44 and 40 WGP, Navi 32 with 32, 28 and 24, and Navi 33 with 20, 16 and 10 WGP.

Also, it asks for a total board power of 450 watts for the top model and that would be above what you would expect from the Geforce RTX 4080: according to the latest information, the RTX 4080 has 320 watts; rumor mongers had corrected the value to 100 watts. In general, the buzz in both camps has been pretty erratic recently. The technical data of the Ada chips leveled off several times, while the new Radeons were quite quiet. A few weeks ago Greymon55 saw that AMD was falling behind. Especially with the AD102, Nvidia should have an advantage over Navi 31. The Timespy values just mentioned would suggest otherwise. In general, one-liners on Twitter are often difficult to interpret.
