Expect Official Reveal Next Year!

Story Highlight
  • The AMD Navi 48 GPU has shown up on Geekbench, revealing a pre-production unit with 56 Compute Units (CUs).
  • This GPU has benchmark scores lower than the Radeon RX 7900 XT and supposedly comes with 16GB of RAM.
  • RDNA 4 GPUs should be officially announced at CES 2025.

The next-generation AMD Navi 48 GPU has recently surfaced on Geekbench. The platform’s OpenCL benchmark has been used to test an unidentified SKU, which seems to be the Radeon RX 8800 XT.

While this is yet to be confirmed, it does indicate that new graphics cards from AMD are getting closer to release.

Why it matters: After an exciting graphics card family launch with RDNA 2, AMD’s RDNA 3 series was mostly a disappointment. Therefore, fans are optimistic to see the gaming giant offering major improvements with RDNA 4.

The RDNA 4 GPU on Geekbench is identified by “gfx1201”, which is an LLVM patch previously used to establish that it was a Navi 48 SKU. According to Geekbench, the graphics card has 56 CUs or 28 WGPs.

At its best, the alleged Radeon RX 8800 XT scores 33,241 points, trailed by 33,139, 32,070, 31,041, and 12,962 points respectively. On the other hand, the average OpenCL score of the previous generation Radeon RX 7900 XT was approximately 160,000.

While these scores are nowhere near Navi 31 from the last generation, the Radeon RX 8800 XT should be a solid gaming GPU. It could come with a maximum boost clock of 2.1 GHz and 16 GB of RAM. Although the amount could change at launch, it seems roughly similar to last-generation RDNA 3 SKUs.

Since this is a pre-production sample, the current results achieved are not surprising. It also validates previous rumors regarding the specifications of the RDNA 4 GPU and should perform similarly to the Radeon RX 7900 XT.

AMD is said to bringing various upgrades with the Radeon RX 8000 series. PC gamers should anticipate more efficient hardware that performs better with ray tracing tasks.

More information should be coming at CES 2025. The RDNA 4 family will likely be officially announced at this event, with the gaming giant focusing on price-to-performance above all else.
