AMD is planning to release a new Radeon RX 7650M XT video card in an external form factor. The company announced its plans for the new product, which is set to be launched in July of this year, the announcement was made on Discord, so the site VideoCardz reached out to a company representative for clarification.
AMD confirmed that the device is an external graphics solution, similar to the OneXplayer ONEXGPU (which comes with the Radeon RX 7600M XT). Manufacturer AOOSTAR plans to release "several specifications," which may mean a different TGP or memory capacity.
The eGPU model presented by AOOSTAR has 1 HDMI output, two DP outputs, 3 USB ports, an OCULINK port, and a USB Type-C. The board features 4 GDDR6 memory modules and an 8-phase power system.
The current RDNA3 lineup for laptops looks somewhat incomplete compared to the GeForce RTX 40 series. The Radeon RX 7900M video card based on the Navi 31XL GPU is currently exclusive to just one laptop. It seems strange that AMD put in effort for such a limited release.
At the same time, the laptops models RX 7600 and RX 7700 are based solely on the Navi 33 GPU, which offers up to 2048 stream processors. Considering the chosen name for the RX 7650M XT, it can be assumed that this is a small improvement in specifications, rather than a major upgrade.
Although there were rumors that the Navi 32 chip could appear on laptops, this has not happened since the GPU first became available in September of last year in desktop RX 7700/7800. AMD may introduce updated mobile Radeon graphics processors at Computex or later. The new Radeon RX 6x50M was announced at CES 2022. The Minisforum AtomMan X7 Ti mini PC, which we wrote about earlier, just happens to have an OCuLink connector:
