On Tuesday, Hong Kong-based graphics card maker AFOX stoked up pleasure in regards to the next-gen GPU race by registering a plethora of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 and AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics card mannequin names. Neither the green nor crimson group have confirmed upcoming mannequin names, so these are attention-grabbing to see. However, readers should add a pinch of salt to those revelations, if solely as a result of they arrive through the EEC. Regular readers will know that fairly a couple of merchandise get registered on the EEC, however not all of them see the sunshine of day from a pc retailer shelf.
AFOX’s group green merchandise registration itemizing comprises a full gamut of GeForce RTX 40 sequence playing cards, after which some. A GeForce RTX 4090 Ti presumably is the top-end next-gen shopper graphics card from NVIDIA, and it’s listed alongside its non-Ti counterpart. Moreover, there are a number of RTX 4080, 4070, 4060, and 4050 fashions.
All the tiers include common and Ti fashions, but it surely seems to be like AFOX made a typo or mistake and forgot the GeForce RTX 4070 (non-Ti). It have to be famous we aren’t actually studying something of substance from these mannequin listings, they’re merely as most trade watchers may count on. It isn’t anticipated that we’ll see all these fashions launch inside a slim time window, the rollout of the complete Ada Lovelace structure sequence may take months. For an thought of how the launch may play out, simply look again on the earlier era high-end fashions come first, with the most well-liked mid-range section left unaddressed till New Year.
The AFOX NVIDIA itemizing has another eye-opening product registrations. If you care to look intently, you will note some RTX 30 sequence GPUs that aren’t presently launched, and once more it’s attainable that they may by no means be launched. For instance, AFOX mentions GeForce RTX 30X0 Super editions are within the pipeline. Lastly, the itemizing comprises some historical GeForce fashions, for some purpose, with GPUs just like the GeForce GTX 660 current.
There may be an opportunity that NVIDIA will launch some RTX 30 Super fashions, as there are rumors of huge delays going through the RTX 40 sequence because of a glut of Ampere GPUs. It may make some enterprise sense to delay Ada Lovelace launches till Ampere shares are practically gone, but it surely may then let AMD with its RDNA3 GPUs simply steal the lead.
AFOX’s AMD graphics playing cards itemizing on the EEC is one other in depth record, that includes pre-launch mannequin names and GPUs ranging again generations. At the brand new and unfamiliar finish of the record there are the Radeon RX 7900XT, RX 7900, RX 7800XT, RX 7800, RX 7700XT, RX 7700, RX 7600XT, RX 7600, RX 7500XT, and RX 7500 (what no RX 7400?). That record would seem to cowl all bases with a sequence improve. These RDNA3 structure playing cards are joined in AFOX’s EEC registration by fashions going way back to the AMD Pirate Islands (R7 300) era.
The EEC registration paperwork, noticed by Twitter’s harukaze5719 and reproduced in screenshots above, can be found right here (NVIDIA) and right here (AMD).
PC lovers and players have quite a bit to look ahead to as we journey via the second half of 2022. As nicely as the subsequent era GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA to look ahead to, we’ve got the upcoming CPU and platform releases from AMD and Intel to savor.
