Greymon55 was unsure if this RDNA 3 GPU was something that would eventually make its way to the market. But has a follow-up post suggesting that the chip may actually end up launching in 2023.
The new RDNA 3 GPU is different than the rest of the 'Navi 3X' lineup. The flagship Navi 31 GPU was previously thought to have an MCM design with dual graphics core dies or GCDs. Now it seems that the plans changed and the chip with feature a single GCD with multiple MCDs.
But this might have opened up the room for an even higher-end chip in the Navi 3X family, one that may end up reutilising the dual GCD design. This chip is said to be more powerful than the Navi 31 chip.
The GPU is expected to offer 16,384 cores however the leaker now says that the final specifications are 'To Be Determined'. Reaching 16,384 cores with dual 'cut-down' Navi 31 dies is not a big feat which can be managed by dual Navi 32 GCDs.
What it looks like is that these will be a new chip which is probably why Greymon55 isn't simply calling it dual Navi 31 or Navi 32 which would have arrived with two individual GPUs instead of a single GPU with two GCDs.
It is unclear what this new RDNA 3 GPU ends up powering? Content creation seems a good bet but it could end up in a Radeon RX 7000 series rig.
also believes that the dual GCD RDNA 3 GPUs will end up in Pro cards rather than gaming cards.AMD RDNA 3 Navi 3X GPU Configurations (Preliminary)
