AMD Reportedly Scraps Entry Level RDNA 3 GPUs To Focus on RDNA 4

Expert Verified By

AMD Looking To The Future Now!

Story Highlight
  • The Radeon RX 7400 and Radeon RX 7300, RDNA 3 GPUs targeting the entry-level market, have reportedly been cancelled.
  • AMD and its partners are now concentrating on developing next-gen RDNA 4 graphics cards.
  • If the Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300 were released, they would likely be priced under $200 with 6GB and 4GB memory configurations, respectively.

The Radeon RX 7400 and Radeon RX 7300, two rumored RDNA 3 GPUs, were expected to be coming soon. According to a new report, the plans for both products, which were intended for entry-level markets based on Navi 33 chips, have been abandoned.

Why it matters: This is a positive step since it highlights the gaming giant’s focus on newer products instead of an old generation.

Instead of releasing further RDNA 3 entry-level models, AMD is concentrating on its next-generation RDNA 4 gaming GPUs.

Currently, none of AMD’s AIB partners are working on any new RDNA 3 GPUs, notably the Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300. AIBs typically develop hardware to cater to a larger consumer market, so some OEMs may take advantage of these orders for pre-built PC desktops in the future.

If the Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300 were released, their prices would undoubtedly go below $200. As a result, the memory configurations would have landed between 6GB and 4GB GDDR6.

The Total Board Power (TBP) might have been less than 150W, and the Radeon RX 7300 might have required less than 120W. However, they would not have been significantly less expensive than other RDNA 3 products despite having fewer features.

This is because they would still be based on the Navi 33 GPU currently used for the Radeon RX 7600 and 7600 XT.

In contrast to the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, which were somewhat well-received, the Radeon RX 7600 XT was far from a fan favorite. However, with recent price reductions and promotions, these cards are slightly more competitive with Nvidia’s lineup.

As of right now, no AIB partner has the Radeon RX 7400 or RX 7300 on their development list. As previously stated, everyone’s attention is now focused on developing the next generation of Radeon graphics cards, which will use the RDNA 4 GPU architecture.
