AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT: A Closer Look
Introduction
AMD is gearing up to launch its next-generation Radeon RX 8000 series graphics cards, and among them is the highly anticipated Radeon RX 8800 XT.
Let’s dive into the details!
Release Date
The official release date for the Radeon RX 8800 XT is expected to be in the second half of this year (2024). While we don’t have an exact date yet, we anticipate that AMD will reveal more information at Computex in June.
Specifications
Architecture
The RX 8800 XT will leverage the RDNA 3 architecture (or possibly RDNA 3.5). This architecture is the foundation for AMD’s next-gen GPUs, promising improved performance and efficiency.
Core Specifications
- Work Group Processor/Dual Compute Units: 42
- Compute Units: 84
- RT Cores: 84
- Shaders/Cores/Stream Processors: 5376
- L3 Cache: 80MB
- ROPs/RB+: 192
- TMUs: 336
Memory and Bus
- Memory: GDDR6 (exact capacity not confirmed, but likely 16GB or higher)
- Memory Bus Width: 256-bit (or higher)
Clock Speeds
- GPU Core Clocks: Expected to be ramped up to 3GHz or higher
Ray Tracing and Cache Hierarchy
Being an RDNA 3 derivative, the RX 8800 XT may not see significant improvements in ray tracing performance or cache hierarchy changes. However, it should still deliver excellent gaming performance.
Power Consumption
- TBP (Total Board Power): Estimated around 300W
Conclusion
The Radeon RX 8800 XT is poised to be a powerful addition to AMD’s lineup, offering competitive performance and features. As we await further details, keep an eye out for official announcements from AMD in the coming months!
