What the Next‑Gen Nvidia and AMD GPUs Could Mean for the 2022‑2023 Market

The article compiles rumors from the German tech site 3DCenter.org, which aggregates information from two prominent Twitter leakers—Kopite7kimi and 暴龙兽55—about Nvidia’s upcoming Lovelace and AMD’s RDNA 3 graphics cards.

Predicted Product Lineup and Timeline

Nvidia is expected to debut the high‑end RTX 4000 series, initially using the AD102 silicon for the flagship RTX 4090, with possible early releases in September or October 2022. Subsequent models such as RTX 4080, 4070, and 4060 may be based on AD103 or AD104 chips and could appear a month or two after the RTX 4090, likely in Q4 2022.

AMD’s first RDNA 3 offering is anticipated to be the mid‑range Navi 33, potentially branded as the RX 7600 or RX 7700, with launch windows around September/October 2022. Later RDNA 3 products—including the higher‑end Navi 31 (RX 7900) and the next‑generation Navi 32 (RX 7800)—are projected for early 2023 (January) and spring 2023 respectively.

Market Implications

If the rumors hold, the initial GPU battle will pit Nvidia’s ultra‑high‑end cards against AMD’s mid‑range solutions, giving AMD a potential early traction advantage in volume sales. However, Nvidia’s flagship RTX 4090 may suffer from high price and power‑draw concerns, possibly requiring users to upgrade power supplies.

AMD could leverage its RDNA 3 lineup to capture market share, provided it can scale production to meet demand. Nvidia’s broader RTX 4000 family should remain competitive, especially if it can release additional models before AMD’s later‑stage GPUs.

Uncertainties and Caveats

The information is explicitly labeled as speculative; accuracy depends on the leakers’ sources and 3DCenter’s verification. Additionally, Intel’s upcoming Arc desktop GPUs, expected to launch next month, could further disrupt the competitive landscape.
