New Navi GPU models found within Linux drivers
Among the new Linux drivers for AMD graphics, references to the Navi 12, Navi 14 and Navi 21 GPUs have been found, of which we know nothing more.
Except for AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700We don't know much more about the company's graphics card plans. These new Navi 10 @ 7nm graphics will hit the market on July 7. Little else was known so far and that is that graphics to Linux drivers, new graphics models have been leaked.
Everything points to AMD launching simpler models of these graphics thinking about the entry range and the rest of the mid-range. These graphics cards would also be based on RDNA + GCN. Previously we had already seen leakage of company graphics thanks to the Linux drivers. The new Navi models that appear are the Navi 21, Navi 12 and Navi 14, in addition to the Navi 10.
Filtered new AMD Navi models thanks to Linux drivers
These new graphics cards in the AMD drivers, in addition to the suffix 'P' and 'M', would have the 'Lite' version. The information is null regarding the 'Lite' versions, but they could be specific versions for laptops. It would be intended to compete with the NVIDIA Max-Q.
The Navi 12 would be the base of the AMD RX 5600 and the Navi 14 would be the base of the RX 5700. In addition, the Navi 21 would be the base of the RX 5800. Although we have little data on these possibilities, they are purely speculation. Officially only the RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 are official and it is clear that they will arrive on July 7.
A curiosity of the lines of code of the driver for Linux, is that the models have the ending A0 and B0. The normal thing would be that they indicate the version of the graphical nucleus or a distinction between assembler model and AIB model. We assume that over the next few weeks AMD will give us more information on future solutions.
