News Acer EEC filing reveals Radeon RX 7900, 7800, and 7700 non-XT versions may be on the way

  • As the article mentions, EEC filings can be speculative placeholders that go unused
  • The RX 5000-series had two non-XT versions of existing retail cards that were for OEMs only.
    • Of those two non-XT 5000-series cards, one of them (the RX 5500) was the same VRAM and core configuration as the XT card, but with adjusted clocks and a lower TDP.
  • I thought I’d heard yields were generally pretty good for Navi 31/32, and that the 7900 GRE already was a pretty extreme salvage binning for Navi 31. And that AMD was actually disabling more functional dies down because they had too many working Navi 31s and more demand for the GRE than dies naturally binned there.
I would not get my hopes up for major shakeups to the product stack. At least not until something else corroborates any of the filings.
