AMD has remained suspiciously silent on its next Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs, and while there has been some speculation about new RNDA 3 models surfacing in the spring, new rumors have arrived that claim to offer a more concrete date. According to a report from MyDrivers, AMD is now expected to launch its next graphics cards by June 18, a date that Chinese shoppers should be familiar with, being the date of the eponymous 618 shopping festival. The report goes on to suggest that red team may be unloading not just one, but a trio of options in the form of the Radeon RX 7800, Radeon RX 7700, and Radeon RX 7600. NVIDIA’s modern-gen graphics cards include the GeForce RTX 4090, GeForce RTX 4080, and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, while AMD only has the Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XTX on offer.
From a MyDrivers report (machine translation):
According to the latest statement, the release of other new models of the RX 7000 series may be delayed, and it is very likely that they will have to wait until the 618 event.
Even, it is not ruled out that AMD will launch RX 7800, RX 7700, and RX 7600 series at the same time , which has never happened before (evaluation is a big trouble).
The reason for this is unclear. It may be that the performance of the RX 7900 series is not as good as expected. It failed to beat or even tie the opponent in terms of performance. There are also many problems in terms of temperature, power consumption, and drivers. AMD needs to spend more time polishing other series.

Join Discussion →More cards we won't see in stock for who knows how long. I'm sure J2C and GN will get a couple dozen between them though.
Maybe they'll be in stock when the 8000 series is released.
AMD is becoming a joke with their releases.
I don't i see plenty of inventory for the xt, and good amount for xtx. Don't know about prices, but they seem to be there.
In USA XFX MERC 310 7900 xt is available for $850 in NewEgg/Amazon

I don't see stocks being an issue this gen.
Speculation is that AMD has not been able to meet its performance targets and is hard at work optimising drivers & silicon
Till then you can look at 6700xt / 6750xt for budget options
Amd should also do a team for other than 3d stuff for their gpu. Acceleration for whatver codecs and important software. Pretty sure this is something nvidia beats in also.
The 7900 XT has been a pointless purchase since day 1, which is why it's been mostly in stock since release. The 7900 XTX hasn't really been in stock until recently, past week or so as I see a few available for purchase right now on Newegg. That's 3 months after release.
These GPUs are on a new die, I believe its monolithic, so it may not have the issues the tile-based architecture had.
That definitely bodes well! Good competition for Nvidia's outgoing 3000-series.
