According to the plan, AMD’s new flagship graphics cards RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX, which adopt the new 5nm RDNA3 GPU architecture, will be available on December 13.
At present, the OpenCL running score of RX 7900 XT has appeared on GeekBench 5. However, frankly speaking, the results are not satisfactory in both horizontal and vertical comparisons.
Compared with the RX 7900 XTX vertically, the running score of the 7900 XT is 16% lower, or the former is 19.2% ahead.
Comparing RTX 4090/4080 horizontally, 7900 XT is regarding 23% behind RTX 4080, barely close to RTX 3080 Ti.
The reason for the “surprise” is that the 7900 XT is 12.5% less than the XTX in terms of the size of the CU unit; in terms of price, the XT is 10% cheaper than the XTX, but the difference in actual performance is greater than the above two figures .
Some analysts believe that it is because the 7900 XT is equipped with 20GB video memory (800GB/s) bandwidth, compared with the 24GB (960GB/s) of the 7900 XTX, there is also a “reduction”. The problem is that the price is 100 Dollar.
Of course, OpenCL is computing density-oriented, and the game-oriented Vulkan score has not yet appeared, and the conclusion cannot be drawn prematurely.
Moreover, two days ago, the OpenCL of the 7900 XTX had an own goal of only 150,000 points…
It is reported that the RX 7900 XT is priced at $899, and the RX 7900 XTX is priced at $999.
