AMD's Radeon VII is near the end of its life, probably

In short: With the arrival of the highly regarded AMD RX 5700 series, players no longer have any reason to buy the Radeon VII. While the card had never fully taken off with the players, it was well suited for professional users and prosumers. Given the production costs of the Radeon VII, its poor price-quality ratio and the popularity of the RX 5700 cards, it makes sense to remove it.

The French site Cowcatland claims to have confirmed that AMD's Radeon VII graphics card has officially reached the end-of-life stage. This in itself would normally not deserve much attention, as it has already been proven that the publication was false.

However, when Tom's Hardware contacted AMD for feedback, the chip maker neither confirmed nor denied the reports. "We expect that the availability of Radeon VII will continue to meet demand in the foreseeable future, delivering exceptional content creation experiences and high-end 4K games." You can find Radeon VII graphics cards on AMD.com " said AMD to Tom's.

In addition, Matt Bach of Puget Systems claims to have confirmed the EOL status with an AMD representative. In an article detailing the results of DaVinci Resolve's recent comparative analysis, Bach responded to a comment regarding the absence of the Radeon VII in tests. "Radeon VII is 100% EOL, we confirmed it directly with AMD before starting this series of tests on the graphics processor. The remaining reserves do not mean that it is still being manufactured, "says Bach.

Take the above information for what it's worth, although it's not surprising that AMD stops the Radeon VII. Overall, the Radeon VII was a miracle solution while Navi was still in the oven, while allowing AMD to claim a first with a 7nm GPU. In TechSpot's review, the card has never lived up to the hype of the game and has withstood more content creation and GPU-accelerated workloads.
