The Rise and Fall of the RX 7900 GRE
It seems that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE has taken a short trip down the road of glory, only to find itself facing the harsh reality of end-of-life status. The news, brought to light by tweakers, confirms that several AMD board partners are waving goodbye to this card, confirming its exit from the stage. Just months after making its European debut, the RX 7900 GRE seems to be setting a record for the quickest curtain call.
Why the Rapid Decline?
Reports indicate a sharp decline in the availability of the RX 7900 GRE across retail channels. While some asus models are still limping along, manufacturers have admitted that the situation is far from rosy, with deliveries labeled as “limited.” It raises the question: is AMD trying to clear the shelves for a new lineup?
What Comes Next?
As AMD gears up to unveil its next-gen RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 8000 series at the anticipation-filled CES keynote on January 6, one can’t help but speculate. Are we witnessing a strategic withdrawal to pave the way for AMD’s latest contenders, which are designed to take on the likes of NVIDIA’s “Blackwell” and Intel’s “Battlemage”? Only time will tell, but for now, the RX 7900 GRE is taking a well-deserved bow, leaving us curious about what AMD has in store.
