AMD Radeon VII 7nm GPU Makes Its Way To Reviewers Test Benches

With only a week away from its launch the AMD Radeon VII 7nm GPU appears to have made it’s way to reviewers hands. When the Radeon VII launches next Thursday (2/7/2019) it will become the worlds first 7nm gaming focused GPU. Having taken the Vega architecture and shrunk things down from 14nm to 7nm gave the team at Radeon to find an interesting way to spend the new power envelope they have to work with, and according to their marketing speed is where they put their bet. Reducing the compute unit count down from the 64 that the RX Vega 64 enjoyed down to 60 shouldn’t put any damper on performance with the new target clock rate sitting pretty at 1800MHz. Memory is where another dose of magic gets dropped as we see a doubling of memory capacity and memory bandwidth with 16GB of HBM2 rocking a very wide 1TB/s of memory bandwidth, should prove more than useful at higher resolutions.
But, we’ve seen the card at CES and we’ve seen the renders floating around, but it appears that Legit Reviews and TweakTown are confirmed to have the card in hand. Anthony at TweakTown took it a step further with a shot of it on his test bench while Nathan simply mentioned that they were already underway with testing at Legit Reviews.
