AMD Radeon RX 7900M and Threadripper Pro 7000 arriving October 19th

We may soon see AMD make some big announcements. As per the latest reports, the red team is planning to release its new Radeon RX 7900M flagship mobile GPU and the Threadripper Pro 7000 HEDT series in just two weeks, on October 19th.

According to Wccftech, AMD is planning to debut the Radeon RX 7900M mobile graphics card on October 19th, which matches the rumoured Threadripper Pro 7000 “Storm Peak” series release date.

AMD had already offered mobile SKUs based on the Navi 33 architecture with the RX 7600M/S series. Navi 32-based mobile GPUs have yet to be announced, but it seems we won't have to wait for the ones based on the Navi 31 GPU.

The rumoured RX 7900M will reportedly have 72 CUs, implying that it should feature a Navi 31 GPU. Considering this is a mobile GPU, AMD would probably pack the GPU in a smaller enclosure, as seen in the RX 7900 GRE. The 72 CU configuration is less than the RX 7900 GRE (80 CUs), RX 7900 XT (84 CUs), and RX 7900 XTX (96 CUs), setting the GPU's TGP at 160W (up to 200W with SmartShift). Older rumours suggested that the RX 7900M will have a 256-bit memory bus, implying a 16GB memory configuration.

As for the Threadripper Pro 7000 series, these will likely debut on systems based on both OEM and DIY motherboard designs that use the TRX50/WRX50 chipsets. This chipset is expected to be based on the same one used by the EPYC 9004 series, which means it can accommodate up to 96 Zen 4 cores, 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, and DDR5 memory.

According to leaked slides shared by Underfox, AMD claims its upcoming HEDT series will give a 20% performance gain over the previous generation and feature up to 96 cores. This release is predicted to not only have the greatest core count in the high-end desktop (HEDT) market but also the fastest Threadripper CPU, with a clock speed of 5.1GHz. To do this, AMD had to set the TDP of their new Storm Peak platform to 350W.

KitGuru says: The coming of the Radeon RX 7900M would certainly be welcome, giving those who want a high-end mobile GPU an alternative to Nvidia's solutions. The Threadripper Pro 7000 series would also bring variety to the HEDT market, as well as push the core count to 96 cores in this segment for the first time.
