AMD Radeon RX 7300

Are Entry-Level RDNA 3 GPUs from AMD on the Horizon?

Rumors are swirling about the existence of AMD’s Radeon RX 7300 GPU, now supported by the popular AIDA64 hardware monitoring application. Despite no official announcement from AMD, this update hints that the GPU could soon be making its mark.

Last year, there was chatter about two entry-level RDNA 3 GPUs: the Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300. While they haven’t yet hit the market, a recent update to AIDA64’s GPU support list suggests one of them may be on the horizon. The Radeon RX 7300 was spotted in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme, listed with the tag “NAVI 33,” confirming earlier leaks by Komachi Ensaka.

This inclusion implies that AMD might still be planning to release these entry-level RDNA 3 GPUs, or perhaps the RX 7300 is intended for specific OEM deployments rather than general sale. Unlike its predecessors in the RX 6000 series, such as the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 which catered to budget-conscious consumers, the RX 7000 lineup has yet to introduce such options.

Predictions for the RX 7300 include features such as 640-896 stream processors, 4/6GB of VRAM, and a 64/96-bit memory bus, with an anticipated price range of $100-$130. In contrast, details about the RX 7400 remain scarce, but it’s expected to sport 6GB of VRAM and 1024-1536 stream processors.

These GPUs are designed for entry-level performance, perfect for everyday tasks and powering multiple displays without the need for external power cables. Meanwhile, AMD’s RDNA 4 lineup featuring the RX 9000 series hasn’t yet revealed any entry-level X400 or X300 models, although a sighting of the Radeon RX 9050 on a website suggests that budget-friendly options could still be on AMD’s agenda.
