AMD teased the upcoming RX 7000 graphics card lineup last night at the Ryzen 7000 launch event. The GPU series is still in pre-production and is expected to launch later this year.

The RX 7000 series of GPUs will be based on a new architecture called RDNA 3, which is said to be much better than the older RDNA 2. New Ryzen 7000 APUs will be launched with graphics processors based on this architecture.

The RX 7000 graphics card lineup will take on the Nvidia Geforce RTX 40 series, which will be launched later this year. AMD has been tight-lipped about the graphics processors. Although it confirmed that it is working on the products, no concrete information, specs, or release dates have been revealed.


Leaked Radeon RX 7000 specs

The upcoming GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture already have their names. The highest-end GPU is called Navi 31. Other GPUs in the lineup are named Navi 32 and Navi 33.

The flagship SKY based on this GPU will be the Radeon RX 7600 XT.


Release date of the Radeon RX 7000 lineup

AMD has not revealed a release date for the upcoming RX 7000 lineup of GPUs. At the launch event, AMD CEO Lisa Su said that the GPUs will "launch later this year."
