AMD is going to make a huge leap in laptop GPU performance with their next-generation Radeon RX 7000 “RDNA 3” chips.
AMD brings Radeon RX 6950 XT & RTX 3090 performance to laptops with its Radeon RX 7000 “RDNA 3” GPUs
In two separate tweets from Greymon55 and Kopite7kimi, both leakers have reported that the AMD Radeon RX 7000 “RDNA 3” next-generation laptop GPUs will give a huge boost to gaming performance on mobile platforms. First up, we have Greymon55’s tweet stating that the Radeon RX 7000 “RDNA 3” laptop GPUs (represented by the laptop emoji) would offer performance comparable to the Radeon RX 6950 XT, AMD’s fastest RDNA 2 graphics card. .

Kopite7kimi’s second tweet gives us a possible SKU name, the Radeon RX 7900M, which may or may not be the flagship RDNA 3 GPU, as the company will be using the X950 XT branding for its top RDNA 3 desktop graphics card. Either way, the Radeon RX 7900M would deliver performance on par with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which is huge. Currently, there is no laptop GPU that comes close to the flagship desktop graphics cards.
Fight with the RX 7900M, it has performance like RTX 3090.

AMD’s current fastest laptop GPU, the RDNA 2-powered Radeon RX 6850M XT, is only comparable to the Radeon RX 6700 XT (Desktop). NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop SKU is on par with the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. Both laptop chips are thus far from their desktop counterparts, but the next-gen GPUs take it up a notch and bring peak performance. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series mobility GPUs will feature the AD103-based RTX 4090 as its flagship, as the AD102 GPU consumes too much power for the laptop segment. AMD is going to do the same and is expected to use the Navi 32 die (MCM) for the laptop segment.
While next-generation laptop GPUs won’t offer the same performance as the fastest desktop cards based on the newer architecture, it’ll still be impressive to see them match the last-generation flagships while being only a fraction of the use force.
The AMD Radeon RX 7000 “RDNA 3” GPU lineup based on the Nav 3x GPUs is expected to launch later this year with reports of the flagship Navi 31 launching first, followed by Navi 32 and Navi 33 GPUs. Chances are, we’ll be first introduced to the RDNA 3 mobility lineup by CES 2023.
