AMD is bringing RDNA 3 to the entry level market; leaks hint at Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300 GPUs

AMD may release RDNA 3-based RX 7400 and RX 7300 budget GPUs featuring AI acceleration and AV1 encoding support.

: AMD is rumored to be developing new RDNA 3-based low-cost GPUs, the RX 7400 and RX 7300. Both GPUs will use the Navi 33 silicon, similar to the RX 7600 but with reduced cores and performance. These GPUs will likely offer new features like AI acceleration and AV1 encoding.

AMD is rumored to be working on two new budget-friendly graphics cards, the RX 7400 and RX 7300, which would introduce the RDNA 3 architecture to entry-level desktops. The information comes from GPU leaker Komachi_Ensaka on X, suggesting these cards are based on the Navi 33 silicon currently used in the higher-end RX 7600 cards.

Although it's unlikely these entry-level models will fully utilize the Navi 33 chip, they may keep some features such as the 128-bit memory interface and 8GB of VRAM but operate with fewer cores and lower clock speeds. The RX 7400 may retain more features compared to the RX 7300, which will likely have further cuts in specifications to meet budget constraints.

A notable advantage of the new GPUs over the RDNA 2 generation is potential support for dedicated AI acceleration and hardware AV1 encoding. These features could provide a valuable alternative to Nvidia's RTX 3050 for budget-conscious consumers, assuming the cards deliver balanced price and performance. Official announcements are anticipated toward the end of 2024 or early 2025, possibly aligned with the unveiling of AMD's RDNA 4 architecture at CES 2025.
