Today at CES AMD unveiled its next-generation GPU, the Radeon VII (pronounced seven), the world’s first GPU with a 7nm process.

Set for February 7th retailer availability, the Radeon VII boasts the following specs:
- 7nm technology process
- 3840 stream processors
- 16 GB memory
- 1 TB/s memory bandwidth
- AMD FreeSync2 HDR technology
The second-generation Vega architecture found in the Radeon VII provides greater performance than previous offerings, such as the popular RX Vega 64 that we’ve often covered here on 9to5Mac. The Radeon VII is better equipped to handle 4K gaming, boasting frame rates higher than 60FPS at 4K resolution, and is seen as a direct competitor to the Nvidia RTX 2080.
