AMD’s 7nm epoch-making product is officially dead! Only lived half a year old
In early July, foreign media revealed that as the world's first 7nm process gaming graphics card, AMD Radeon VII has entered the end of production and delisting phase (EOL) and will no longer produce new cards. It will be completely withdrawn after the existing inventory is sold out.
AMD's response to this rumor is also very vague: "Both gamers and creative professionals, the demand for Radeon VII is still very strong."
Now, foreign custom PC manufacturer Puget Systems has given a clear statement that Radeon VII graphics cards have indeed begun to be discontinued and delisted.
Matt Bach, senior lab technician at Puget Systems, said: "The Radeon VII is 100 percent discontinued. We confirmed this directly from AMD before starting this round of graphics card testing. There is certainly some remaining stock, but it is indeed no longer in production."
Some media once again asked AMD for confirmation on this, and the response they received was still ambiguous: "In the foreseeable future, Radeon VII will continue to meet demand and can provide excellent high-end 4K gaming and content creation experiences. You can find Radeon VII on AMD's official website."
Based on all the current signs, it is not surprising that Radeon VII will be discontinued and delisted.
Although it has the halo blessing of the world's first 7nm game card, it is also the first in the world to achieve 1TB/s memory bandwidth, and the improved Vega 20 core plus 16GB HBM2 memory has indeed brought about a significant performance improvement. However, it still lacks sufficient high-end competitiveness in the face of the NVIDIA RTX 20 series, and its power consumption is also high, making it not very attractive to gamers.
However, Google Cloud Gaming and Apple's latest Mac Pro both use it, which may bring very considerable profits.
In addition, it is said that the core cost of Vega 20 is relatively high. AMD originally did not intend to use it for game cards. In the end, it seemed that it was only for temporary transition. It did not even open a non-public version, which is quite alternative.
Nowadays, the RX 5700 series with the new core of 7nm Navi has established itself in the market and has received good response. It is time for Radeon VII to retire, even though it was only half a year old.
Currently, there is no shortage of Radeon VII in JD.com and other places, and many brands are out of stock.
