At its special Next Horizon Gaming event at E3 2019 show in Los Angeles, AMD has officially unveiled its upcoming Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards which will be based on 7nm Navi architecture.

Based on the new RDNA gaming architecture, the new RX 5700 series has a new compute unit design, multi-level cache hierarchy, and streamlined graphics pipeline, all translating to 25 percent performance-per-clock and 50 percent higher performance per Watt, compared to the previous generation.

AMD is starting its Navi venture with two graphics cards in the RX 5700 series, the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700. The RX 5700 XT will pack 40 Compute Units for a total of 2560 Stream Processors, offer compute performance of up to 9.75 TFLOPs, pack 8GB of 14Gbps-clocked GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory interface and work at the rather impressive 1605MHz base, 1755MHz game, and up to 1905MHz Boost clocks.

The RX 5700 has 36 Compute Units, for a total of 2304 Stream Processors, 8GB of same 14Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory interface, offer 7.95TFLOPs of compute performance and works at 1465MHz base, 1625MHz game, and up to 1725MHz GPU Boost clocks.

Both the RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 should need an 8+6-pin power from the PSU.

AMD has compared its new RX 5700 series against Nvidia's RTX members, the RTX 2070 and the RTX 2060, with gains of up to 22 percent for the RX 5700 XT at 1440p, and up to 21 percent for the RX 5700.

AMD also redesigned the cooler and the PCB for RX 5700 XT (although we are not sure if RX 5700 uses the same one), pairing it up with new aluminum shroud and backplate, vapor chamber cooling, graphite-based TIM, and a 7-phase VRM for additional overclocking potential.
