The latest news related to AMD graphics cards does not point to what was expected RX8000but to the RX 7650 GREa graphics card whose launch would be scheduled for the first quarter of 2025, even ahead of the new generation of AMD.
If we talk about the GRE version of AMD graphics, we talk about the version Golden Rabbit Editionan edition that is initially launched in the Asian market and, months later, reaches the rest of the markets.
This new GRE version will have the Navi 33 GPUin a move that seems destined to get rid of the entire stock of this GPU before launching the RX 8000 with the GPU Navi 48.
AMD gets rid of Navi 33 GPU stock
The Navi 33 GPU is the same one found in the Radeon RX7600 and RX 7600 XTso it has all the earmarks of being an update to the entry range. The RX 7900 XTX uses Navi 31 while the RX 7800 XT and the RX 7700 XT They use the Navi 32 GPU.
The media that has leaked this information states that AMD’s reason for launching this new version of the entry range to AMD graphics is to clean up the inventory of this GPU, in a move very similar to what it already did in the past with the RX 6750 GRE.
If we take the numbering into account, this new graph should be closer to the RX 7600 XT than to the RX 7600. While the RX 7600 They have 32 computing units.
As for the frequency, this should be maintained if we take into account that, in previous versions, it has not been modified either. AMD’s intention is to get rid of stock, not to launch a completely new graphics card on the market, so it tries to take advantage of the hardware it already has without investing extra time or money.
To get rid of the stock, AMD will have to do some rsignificant drop in priceso a version with 8 GB would be much more affordable than the 16 GB version. But, on the other hand, a version with 16 GB could attract the attention of users looking for an input graphics card that will last a long time.
In fact, the RX 7600
Release date
The first news about the RX 7650 GRE indicated that AMD would officially present it at the CES in Las Vegas, at the same event in which NVIDIA will present the RTX 50. However, everything seems to indicate that AMD’s plans are to delay the launch to sometime in the first quarter of 2025.
