AMD Rumored To Launch Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs In Late Q3
AMD's Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT graphics cards based on the RDNA 3 GPU architecture are rumored to launch in Q3 2023.
The AMD Radeon RX 7000 "RDNA 3" GPU lineup is currently missing a large segment within the $400-$600 US price range. The company has introduced two high-end flavors, the 7900 XTX and 7900 XT which start at $799 US (Official MSRP), and an entry-level Radeon RX 7600 in the sub-300 USD segment. This is a large gap that has already been filled with at least three GPU options by NVIDIA.
NVIDIA currently offers its GeForce RTX 4060 which starts at $299 US, the RTX 4060 Ti at $399 US, and the RTX 4070 starting at $599 US. The main competitors to these cards are AMD's older RDNA 2 offerings which do offer a better value proposition and the sales of the RTX 4070/4060 series has not been very promising for the green team. But with continued discounts, users are finding some value in these cards, and that leads NVIDIA to retain its share hold over AMD which despite offering better value in its cards isn't able to move enough quantities.
Now, the company wants to change the game with the introduction of two brand-new graphics cards. According to Benchlife and JonPeddie, AMD is aiming to launch the Radeon RX 7800 XT & Radeon RX 7700 XT GPUs in the third quarter of 2023 close to Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. JonPeddie is stating an announcement to take place around late August while Benchlife states an early-September launch. I think we can all just settle for late Q3 since that makes more sense but we don't know if this would be a paper-launch or a hard-launch like the Radeon RX 7600 which hit retail availability the same day as it was announced.
In addition to Radeon RX 7900 GRE, AMD and its AIB partners are also preparing two Navi 32 chip graphics cards such as Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT, which are expected to be available in early September.

According to various leaks from Asia, the rumor capital of the industry, AMD is preparing to announce at least two new 7000-series AIBs and may do so at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, in late August. AMD is overdue for new AIBs and has some open slots in its SKU lineup against Nvidia, which has just filled out its list.

Currently, there are no specifics regarding the specifications of the two graphics cards but the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are likely going to utilize the Navi 32 "RDNA 3" die. This is due to the fact that the Radeon RX 7600 is already using the top Navi 33 die leaving no more room for another high-end SKU.
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT could feature 16 GB memory while the Radeon RX 7700 XT could feature 12 GB memory which will be the same as their predecessors, the 6800 XT & 6700 XT. The Radeon RX 7700 XT may hold a better position against the RTX 4060 series if its priced around the $400-$500 US range while the RX 7800 XT can give a good knock to the RTX 4070 series if its appropriately priced around the $550-$650 US range. There are also some performance figures doing the rounds on the web but we can assure you that those aren't real.
We will know more about the new Navi 32 GPU-based Radeon RX 7000 offerings next month if the launch actually takes place by then.
