AMD AICs To Showcase Custom Radeon RX 7700 & RX 7600 Graphics Cards At Computex 2023
AMD's AIC partners are expected to showcase the first Radeon RX 7700 & RX 7600 graphics cards at Computex 2023 next month.

What I can confirm, however, is that individual (!) AMD board partners will show a Radeon RX 7600 as a finished product at Computex, while other partners, who use both AMD and NVIDIA chips, are first exercising wait-and-see restraint. To paraphrase politely. The statement that you don’t want to produce anything just to satisfy production and where you don’t see any chances of profits then hurts a bit. There is no price basis for a Radeon RX 7700XT at the moment, because you could even slip into the loss zone because the target group shifts and the price shouldn’t fit anymore.
The Navi 33 GCD is expected to feature 2 Shader Engines and each Shader Engine has 2 Shader Arrays (2 per SE / 4 in total). This rounds up to 16 WGP's or 32 Compute Units for a total of 2048 cores which is the same core count as the Navi 23 GPU.
The GPU will come packaged with 32 MB of Infinity Cache, the same amount as the Navi 23 GPU, and across a 128-bit wide bus. First introduced on laptops as the Radeon RX 7700 & RX 7600 series, the Navi 33 GPUs will be aiming at the budget segment with prices between the $250-$350 US range.
- AMD Navi 33: 2048 Cores, 128-bit Bus, 32 MB Infinity Cache, 204mm2 GPU Die @6nm
- AMD Navi 23: 2048 Cores, 128-bit Bus, 32 MB Infinity Cache, 237mm2 GPU Die @7nm
Where is are the 7800? Igor's Lab proposes that they might not be profitable in the current market.
One thing has also become clear in the last few months: New graphics cards are no longer sold only by performance classes, but primarily by price classes. And when the broad middle class breaks away, as already described above, only target groups in the high-end and in the area between entry level and lower middle class remain. In order to sell cards like a rumored Radeon RX 7800XT profitably, you would have to move into the GeForce RTX 4070 range, which has just proven to be sufficiently resistant to buying. However, AMD cannot (and should not) become cheaper, because that would reduce its own profit extremely and virtually starve the board partners.
Computex: 30 May. - 02 Jun. 2023
