From PC World: If you’re having a tough day at work, consider that it could always be worse. For example, someone over at AMD licensee PowerColor is in a heap of hurt right now, because the company accidentally posted a full listing for the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card, complete with specifications. Does that GPU sound unfamiliar? That’s probably because the Radeon RX 7800 XT doesn’t officially exist yet. Oops.
There’s been a mid-range hole in AMD’s Radeon 7000 series since it launched last year, with the low-end RX 7600 at $270 being the only other card besides the $900 RX 7900 XT and $1000 RX 7900 XTX. AMD has confirmed that new “enthusiast” cards are coming before the end of October, presumably in between those two price points and at the 7700/7800 level. But PowerColor’s full-page listing, shared on Twitter almost immediately and since taken down, is more or less an official confirmation of its existence.
According to the page, the PowerColor RX 7800 XT “Red Devil” will use a new Navi 32 GPU design with 3840 stream processors, 60 compute units, a 256-bit memory interface with 576GB/s bandwidth (the same as the China-only RX 7900 GRE). 16GB of GDDR6 memory puts it a bit below the RX 7900 XT in hardware power, though it’s using a slightly faster 2.565GHz boosted clock. There’s no word on a price or release date (except “third quarter” from the AMD earnings call), and if there’s an RX 7700 card out there, we don’t know about it yet.
