AMD's next-generation Radeon RX 8000 “RDNA 4” graphics processor has appeared in the Geekbench database, thanks to which several important data were revealed.
AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs are expected to arrive next year, and the first samples have already appeared on Geekbench, meaning internal testing has begun and the red team is preparing to unveil them.
The GPU ID is “GFX1201,” confirming it’s the Navi 48 SKU, the larger of the two Navi 4X chips that debuted with the RDNA 4 line. The Navi 48 “GFX1201” GPU is listed with 28 compute units, which should equate to 56 compute units considering the new configurations used in the RDNA 3 series.
The AMD Radeon RX 8000 “RDNA 4” GPU is also clocked at 2.1GHz, which is pretty low at the moment, but will surely be bumped up closer to release. The SKU includes 16GB of memory, so the top-of-the-line RDNA 4 cards will have a 256-bit bus, but for some configurations we can also expect a 192-bit bus interface and 12GB of VRAM. We don’t have any information on the memory type yet.
In terms of performance, the leaked GPU is close to iGPU level in OpenCL benchmarks, this is of course due to the fact that it is a very early engineering test version, so only future tests will reveal the true power of the card.
