AMD might be giving Intel some trouble in the CPU space, but they still seem not to be able to upend NVIDIA in the graphics card market.
Perhaps according to a recent report by Tom's Hardware, AMD might plan to refresh their RDNA2 architecture. The leaked information extracted from a new AMDGPU Linux kernel DRM driver patch could allude to these refreshed RDNA2 graphics cards.
There are about 17 new PCI IDs and PCI IDs of cards available on the market. Among these is a purported series of Sienna Cichlid Navi 21 SKUs containing five different GPU IDs. There are also Navy Flounder Navi 22 SKUs and Dimgrey Cavefish Navi 23 SKUs.
Industry sleuths think that AMD might add these new GPU IDs for their add-in board (AIB) partners. This could also mean that the IDs are corresponding to engineering models.
If AMD wants to catch up with NVIDIA's GPU market share, RDNA3 will have to offer a compelling choice for users to turn away from RTX 4000. They could use their proprietary FSR to get a foothold, though. A graphics card refresh is not going to be enough, especially with Team Green's rumored plans for their Ada Lovelace cards.
