AMD’s many design wins lately.
AMD took the stage at E3 to announce its “Navi” household of GPUs. The corporate’s new graphics playing cards are formally the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and Radeon RX 5700. The 5700 sequence is launching July 7, making the GPUs a one-two punch alongside AMD’s Ryzen 3000 sequence CPUs.
AMD is not tackling the flagship GPU market with the 5700 sequence. As a substitute, the corporate is aiming for extra mainstream pricing with mainstream efficiency: the 5700XT is $449, whereas the 5700 is $379. AMD is positioning the playing cards in opposition to Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2070 ($499) and 2060 ($349), respectively, and claims efficiency wins in every comparability.
The playing cards introduce AMD’s new “RDNA” structure, which AMD says has 1.25x performance-per-clock and 1.5x performance-per-watt over the earlier era. The chips are constructed on TSMC’s 7nm manufacturing course of, a major shrink from the 12nm course of used on the Radeon RX 590, and on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2080. The Navi die is considerably smaller than the previous-generation Vega design, with a die space of solely 251mm2 in comparison with the 495 mm2 die space for Vega. The smaller die ought to make the Navi considerably cheaper to supply than Vega.
For specs, the top-end Radeon RX 5700 XT has 40 compute models with 2560 stream processors complete. AMD provides three numbers for the clock price on the XT: a 1605MHz “Base” clock, a 1755MHz “Recreation” clock, and a 1905MHz “Enhance” clock. As standard, the cheaper 5700 disables compute models and lowers the clock price, so you’ve gotten 36 compute models for 2304 stream processor complete, a base clock of 1465MHz, recreation clock of 1625MHz, and a lift clock of 1725MHz.
If any of those clock charges are too conservative for you, AMD is promising the 5700 XT is “overclocking prepared” due to an influence answer with room to grown. Each of AMD’s reference designs include 8GB of GDDR6 reminiscence.

For cooling, AMD’s reference design is a blower-style card with an aluminum shroud and again plate. A vapor chamber attracts warmth into the heatsink, and every little thing will get blown out the again of the cardboard. Blower cooling designs have the draw back of manufacturing a variety of noise, however AMD is promising a “quiet” card due to an “acoustically tuned” design. If you happen to’re sad with the cooler design, partner-produced playing cards with various cooling options needs to be out ultimately. The playing cards each take a Eight-pin + 6-pin power-supply connection, with AMD offering Board Energy figures of 225W for the XT and 180W for the cheaper card.
If you happen to get the entire AMD bundle in July (that means a Ryzen 3000 CPU, an X570 motherboard, and a Radeon 5700 card), you may be all up and working with the brand new PCI Categorical four.zero bus normal. This quicker interconnect will probably be nice for next-gen SSDs and 200Gbps (!) Ethernet controllers. However for video playing cards, we have not seen a compelling use case but. Nonetheless, it offers room for upgrades!
All these specs are good to know, however they do not actually inform us something about precise efficiency. As all the time, it is best to attend for impartial benchmarks, and if you happen to’re available in the market for a GPU, it is most likely additionally greatest to see if Nvidia does something in response.
And talking of Nvidia’s response, the corporate has been teasing a “Tremendous” GeForce product for a couple of weeks now. The rumors level to “Tremendous” playing cards being up-clocked editions of Nvidia’s current playing cards and worth drops for some non-super playing cards, making the corporate extra aggressive with AMD’s freshly introduced lineup. Once more although, benchmarks will inform the actual story. AMD additionally would not have a solution this era for the real-time raytracing know-how that Nvidia launched with the RTX 2080 Ti. However given the large hit in efficiency that ray tracing causes for even Nvidia’s quickest playing cards (and the restricted recreation help for raytracing), it is not an enormous loss for AMD.
No matter what occurs between AMD and Nvidia within the PC graphics card wars, AMD GPUs promise to be virtually all over the place else sooner or later. Initially of the presentation, AMD talked in regards to the firm’s design wins, stating that AMD is supplying graphics chips to each the next-gen Xbox and Ps consoles, Apple’s Mac Professional, and Google’s Stadia game-streaming platform. AMD additionally lately inked an RDNA licensing cope with Samsung, which can construct the graphics know-how into its Exynos SoCs for smartphones and tablets.
