Rumor: AMD will introduce Radeon RX 7900M laptop GPU with Navi 31 chip on October 19

AMD may announce a high-end RDNA3 laptop video card with Navi 31 GPU on October 19. Wccftech reports this based on its own sources. It would be a Radeon RX 7900M with 72 compute units and 16GB of memory.

According to Wccftech sources the AMD Radeon RX 7900M has a Navi 31 GPU, which is also used in the Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX desktop video cards. According to the tech website, the chip has a multi-chip design with a 5nm GPU and four 6nm MCDs, which is good for a 256bit memory bus and 64MB Infinity Cache.

Furthermore, according to Wccftech, the laptop video card will have 72 compute units, which amounts to 4608 streaming processors. The RX 7900M therefore falls between the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT desktop video cards, which have 60 and 84 CUs respectively. The upcoming laptop video card will also have 16GB of GDDR6 memory, sources report to Wccftech. The laptop chip would also have a TGP of 160W, although this can be increased to a maximum of 200W with SmartShift. This aligns the TDP of the CPU and GPU for specific workloads.

The Radeon RX 7900M should be announced on October 19. AMD would introduce its Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000WX series with workstation processors on the same day, Wccftech claimed earlier this week.
