MD’s Radeon RX 8000 GPUs are expected to land in the second half of the year, targeting the budget and midrange segments for gaming supremacy. The RX 8900 XTX was an advanced chiplet design with 10+ dies but was canceled. This leaves the RX 8800 XT, 8700 XT, and the RX 8600 XT. As reported previously, the RX 8800 XT will be a $500 GPU, offering comparable performance to the RX 7900 XTX (for ~half as much $$$).

Does anyone know how these will do in memory hard algos like Kawpow?

There are not even synthetic tests yet, and you are asking for mining tests. After the video card is released, miner developers will need time to optimize their miners for the new video cards.
And Kawpow works very well on cheaper video cards.

No matter how well behave these cards right now mining is not profitable at all,the prices of such latest series cards will be expensive and not at all worth for mining unless someone will take the risk of building a rig with those hoping for a bright future in mining and he will have predicted x3-x5 prices of such cards when that happens.

That though is extremely unlikely and the fact that most people are not caring at all about the Nvidia latest series and AMD latest series available chances will be high that the same dis interest will be also on the upcoming top series.

I hope this time AMD will give high bandwith.This infinity cache trash for mining since rx6000 series.

I think that there will be no revolution, given the conditions that AMD does not produce analogs of top-end Nvidia video cards, but makes video cards for the average gaming segment.
Most likely we will see the RX 7900 XTX with lower power consumption, and it will not be in great demand among miners.

AMD Navi 48 is the first confirmed RDNA4 GPU
The NV48, not to be mistaken with 20-year-old NVIDIA NV48 GPU is the short codename for AMD Navi 48, the next generation discrete GPU. The development for this RDNA4-based GPUs has progressed, and it has now reached the ROCm (Radeon Open Compute Platform) Validation Suite.

AMD software engineers are preparing the groundwork for the GPU by introducing the first patches, including build target and initial configuration files, for the GPU. Sadly, this update does not provide any confirmation on the specs.

AMD has not confirmed when or in what form the RDNA4 architecture will be released, but rumors have pointed towards scaling down the plans by not introducing high-end GPUs in the upcoming generation. The new Radeon 8000 series might be based on two GPUs alone.

AMD Radeon RX 8000 Series rumors: Everything we know about RDNA 4

Radeon RX 5000 series was released July 7, 2019
Radeon RX 6000 series was released March 18, 2021
Radeon RX 7000 series was released December 13, 2022
With that in mind, we predict a Q4 2024 launch for the AMD RX 8000 series of GPUs. Given that the previous RX 7000 series launched in late 2022, this sets a precedent for late-year graphical releases from AMD. This would also align with releases on the other side of the GPU market: with rumors of an Nvidia RTX equivalent that is expected to launch in late 2024 as well. Though as these sources suggest, a 2025 release wouldn’t be surprising given the success of RDNA 3.0.

i think that even if the price/performance is right. The fact that we cant tune them like we did from the 6000 series back, they will still be very inefficient and no one will want to mine with them. If morepowertool works again, i might consider buying an AMD like i did before

When Ethereum was expensive and could be mined on video cards, miners bought laptops and game consoles and no one cared about price/quality. I think the only question here is the emergence of new coins for mining. While there are no coins for mining on video cards with a quick payback, the demand for video cards will be low.

i bought laptops to mine with too, were less expensive than buying a gpu at the time. But at that time, due to eth profitability and chip shortage, gpu prices skyrocketed and like you said, people mined with whatever they could find. I dont think this will happen anymore, we will see

This has happened more than once since 2011, when owners of video cards recouped their investment in a few months when mining Bitcoin, but they did not even suspect that Bitcoin in 10 years would cost more than $60,000.
And that was recently. I read stories of miners who paid for their video cards in a week when mining GRAM.

Radeon RX 8000 rumors point towards slower GDDR6 memory

Kepler was among the first to reveal that AMD is scrapping its plans for big Navi4 GPUs, and this information is slowly being confirmed directly by AMD. As of now, there’s no sign of larger Navi GPUs that could potentially replace RX 7900 models in the near future. However, changes are to be expected in the mid-range and entry-level segments with the introduction of Navi 48 and Navi 44 GPUs based on the RDNA4 architecture.

These GPUs are expected to power cards like the Radeon RX 8800, 8700, 8600, and 8500 series, depending on whether one looks at the desktop or mobile lineup. AMD hasn’t confirmed the arrival time of such GPUs or the scope of the RDNA4 launch, but recent information suggests that next-gen GPUs might utilize relatively slower 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory, despite the expected mass production of faster GDDR7 memory by the of this year.

AMD may abandon RX 8000 and flagship graphics cards this year due to collapse in gaming chip revenue
https://t.me/HomishTG/7050

AMD's gaming solutions revenue decreased by 48% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024 as sales of the company's processors for Sony's and Microsoft's game consoles declined and demand for Radeon discrete graphics cards lessened. The company expects its gaming revenue to decline further in the second quarter and for the rest of the year before it has a chance to rebound in 2025.

So, does that mean there won't be any new Radeon RX 8000-series RDNA 4 GPUs this year? AMD isn't saying anything officially yet, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the company delay the launch of RDNA 4 given the apparently weak sales of RX 7000-series GPUs.

AMD is set to introduce its Radeon RX 8000 graphics cards featuring the new Navi 48 GPU at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2025. The company is also planning to launch additional models with the Navi 44 GPU in the second quarter of the same year. The Radeon RX 8000 series, utilizing the RDNA4 architecture, marks a significant development in AMD's graphics lineup. Details from a well-known GPU information source suggest that AMD will initially unveil its higher-tier models equipped with the Navi 48 GPU.

This chip represents a pivotal component in AMD's RDNA4 series. Previous discussions hinted that AMD might not launch high-end models in the Radeon RX 8000 series, positioning the Navi 48 as a mid-range GPU instead. The performance level of the Navi 48 is expected to mirror that of the RDNA3's Navi 31 GPU, which powers the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards.

Subsequently, AMD plans to release lower-tier models featuring the Navi 44 GPU by the second quarter of 2025. The performance of the Navi 44 is anticipated to fall between the capabilities of the Navi 33 and Navi 32 chips.

AMD Radeon 8800 XT GPU leak suggests GeForce RTX 4080 performance for half the price

According to a new report from Moore's Law is Dead, citing sources directly within AMD, the company could be releasing its flagship RDNA 4 gaming GPU before the end of the year. Tentatively called the Radeon RX 8800 XT, there's a chance it could be revealed or teased this weekend at Gamescom.

Not only that, but performance-wise, it could be an absolute game changer that shakes up the GeForce RTX-dominated PC gaming market - dramatically improved raytracing performance thanks to an increase in RT hardware per Compute Unit, plus 'rasterization' performance (non-RT or upscaled) that will 'trade blows' with the GeForce RTX 4080.

Of course, we are chalking this up as rumor for now, so take this all with a grain of salt. The flagship Navi 48 GPU (AMD won't be competing on the high-end with its upcoming RDNA 4 generation of graphics cards) is set to feature 64 CUs or Compute Units with Boost Clock frequencies that could hit up to 3.2 GHz.

Throw in around 96MB of "next generation" Infinity Cache, 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit Memory Bus, and an overall power rating of up to 280W - and AMD's next-gen Radeon GPU is reportedly launching sometime in Q4 2024, with an October or November launch currently on the table.

Maybe people will be interested in building a rig with 4 such cards,of course enthusiasts and other type of home miners can be happy with such performance and I personally if I had 2000 thousands and had already some mining gear sitting apart if what is being said is true I can point the hash rate of such cards which should be near 400 Mhsh or a bit more with some tuning and mine my favorite coin.

I know most people will say buy that coin yet the option to diversify is not there while the feeling of self mining plus diversity in coins is what motivates people,I think this type of card with that price as new can surely revive GPU mining even if it is just a bit.

I'm watching the new graphics cards, but so far I don't see any prospect of miners running out to buy these graphics cards. There are no coins for mining with a good profit and by many indicators green graphics cards are leading in mining now.

The AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT gaming GPU specs just leaked, and they look worrying
Latest rumor suggests top-end RDNA 4 AMD graphics card will compete with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 with 64 compute units and 16GB of VRAM.

The core specs for the next generation of AMD Radeon GPUs have just appeared in a leak, and if it’s true, these GPUs look decidedly uninspiring unless AMD has some major architectural tweaks up its sleeve. This leak concerns both the new AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT and Radeon RX 8600, with the former looking like it’s going to represent the top peak of the new RDNA 4 lineup.

This leak follows shortly after rumors appeared that the AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT ray tracing performance could be in line with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080. However, this latest specs rumor puts the new AMD GPU in the same category as the Radeon RX 7800 XT, but with hopefully some improvements to ray tracing performance from the new RDNA 4 architecture.

The information comes courtesy of regular tech leaker Kepler_L2, who claims to know the configuration of the compute units in the two new GPUs in a thread on X (formerly Twitter). Bear in mind that none of this has been officially confirmed by AMD, but Kepler_L2 has good form for AMD leak
