AMD is hard on work to ready their next-generation RDNA 3 lineup and it looks like the flagship Navi 31 GPU for the upcoming Radeon RX lineup has been taped out today. A tweet from leaker, Greymon55, suggests that AMD has taped out its flagship graphics chip for 2022.

Back in August, the same leaker reported that AMD will be taping out its flagship RDNA 3 GPU, the Navi 31, in two months and it looks like today is the day as the leaker has now tweeted out that the flagship is ready! Now taping out doesn't mean that we are close to launch but it is one of the many key milestones in chip development. It will be sometime before the chip achieves power on by AMD themselves and then we are going to start seeing the first engineering samples begin to roll out to key partners.
