The new generation AMD and Nvidia graphics cards are expected to come with a higher performance, as well as a large increase in TDP values. VentureBeat, who made a new interview with AMD, shared a table of graphics card power consumption values by years.
TDP values can reach 700W by 2025
Speaking to VentureBeat about the power efficiency of the chips, Sam Naffziger, AMD Senior Vice President and Product Technology Architect, said that performance per watt is the most important metric the company has been pursuing for some time. He also reiterated his claim that RDNA 3 will provide a 50 percent gain in performance per watt over RDNA 2.
Also in his statements, Naffziger stated that AMD GPUs are specially designed to reach higher clock speeds, and mentioned that “Nvidia can do the same thing in a much higher power range”. VentureBeat shared a power consumption chart about the next generation graphics cards right after the interview with AMD.
In the table showing the power consumption trend line of GPUs with small purple dots, we can say that the most striking detail is the TDP value, which reaches 700W in 2023 or 2024. Although Naffziger has not made a statement on the subject, the new table shared and previous leaks continue to claim that future architectures will need more power.
