According to sources, Navi 23 is based on the second-generation RDNA architecture and is expected to have better performance than the existing RX 5700 XT, and not only that, but from the internal name of “NVIDIA Killer”, it also needs Bring more things, such as real-time ray tracing.
So Navi 23 is likely to support real-time ray tracing, which is very likely, especially when both the PS5 and Microsoft's next-generation Xbox claim to have real-time ray tracing and will use Navi-based GPU cores.
The Navi series currently only has two cards, the Radeon RX 5700 and the 5700 XT, and the performance can only correspond to the mid-to-high end of the graphics card. In the "high-end field, there is still no new card," "Radium 7" has been passed. Discontinued, so AMD does not currently have a real top card to challenge the opponent, many people hope that AMD can come up with a graphics card to break NVIDIA's high-end monopoly.
Previously, other Navi family graphics cards have appeared in AMD's Linux graphics driver. The exposed Navi 12 chip is estimated to be the RX 5800 series, and the Navi 14 is a low-end chip, which should be RX 5600 or RX 5500. Used in the series.
There is also a Navi 21 code, but the information is not a lot. From the code name, Navi 21 will be built on the same basis as Navi 23 based on the second generation RDNA architecture.
