Not long ago, AMD officially released its flagship graphics card based on RDNA 3 architecture, with two models, RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, with official pricing of 7999 yuan and 7399 yuan, respectively. In the press conference, AMD wrote a lot about the two graphics cards and was quite confident in terms of performance. With the upcoming release on December 13, GeekBench 5 has AMD RX 7900 XT OpenCL running scores, but in terms of scores, this data is bound to disappoint a lot of people.

Not long ago, AMD officially released its flagship graphics card based on RDNA 3 architecture, with two models, RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, with official pricing of 7999 yuan and 7399 yuan, respectively. In the press conference, AMD wrote a lot about the two graphics cards and was quite confident in terms of performance. With the upcoming release on December 13, GeekBench 5 has AMD RX 7900 XT OpenCL running scores, but in terms of scores, this data is bound to disappoint a lot of people.

In terms of hardware, the AMD RX 7900 series uses RDNA?3 architecture, and still uses TSMC 5nm chip, with one main graphics computing module and six memory cache modules. Not only that, AMD has made a number of underlying changes to the architecture of RDNA 3, including cramming more computing units and more shaders.

According to official information, this generation of AMD takes power consumption to the extreme, with a 50% improvement in performance per watt compared with the previous generation. This strategy is different from Nvidia's huge power consumption, which makes many players ashamed, while the increase in AMD power consumption is more in line with players' expectations.

In the power interface, AMD did not learn from Nvidia, but continued to use the 8 PIN interface. The TDP of RX 7900XTX is 355W, the TDP of RX 7900XT is 300W, which is slightly higher than that of 335W 7900XT 7900XTX of the previous generation RX 6950 XT, but 7900?XT achieves a reduction in power consumption.

AMD has two versions of Navi 31 GPU, and the higher specification is RX 7900 XTX, which contains the full GCD and 6 MCD, while the RX 7900 XT is also fully equipped with computing units, but only enables 84 of the 96 and 5 MCD. From this point of view, AMD is through physical means to completely shield the six cores, which means that players can not open the core to improve the performance of the graphics card, after all, the graphics card does not have extra 4GB DDR6 memory to use.

It can be seen that the number of stream processors of RX 7900 XT is 12.5% less than that of RX 7900 XTX, but the performance gap between the two is higher than this, so some people think that there is an anomaly in the running score data this time. And this is only the OpenCL running score data, there is no Vulkan running score data that can reflect the game performance, so the participation value is not high.

At the launch, AMD officially announced that the RX 7900 XT has a 16% computing power advantage over the RTX 4080 in terms of computing power and is $200 cheaper in price. This also gives RX 7900 XT a lot of advantages in terms of performance and price, especially since the tradition of AMD has always been A card and the future.

AMD usually provides better drivers in the follow-up optimization, which often improves the performance of graphics cards in varying degrees, which is why many players think that the performance of AMD graphics cards will improve with time. Therefore, before the official release, the RX 7900 XT leaked run data can not accurately reflect its real performance.
