- AMD has a new RX 7400 GPU
- However, it is for PC manufacturers only at this time, and it is likely to stay like this
- However, a BattleMage Gamage Gamage GPU could be in process
AMD has silently launched a new low -end desktop graphics card, but it is not likely to be the solution to its budget GPU needs, at least not yet, although we have caught a clue that maybe Intel could have a GPU like this in the wings.
First, the AMD News, which is the official launch of a RADEON RX 7400 graphics card, and yes, although that is a new GPU, it is from the previous RDNA generation, instead of RDNA 4, which are the RX 9000 Vanguardia desktop models.
The RX 7400 has 28 computer units (CUS), so it is equipped with 1,792 transmission processors (nuclei), along with 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory and a low power use of 43W.
AMD describes this GPU as aimed at “Advanced Game and 1080p Transmission Experiences”, which means it is for Full HD games. Ignore the mention of ‘Advanced’, which is marketing propaganda, with the specifications listed that indicate that this is a relatively modest low range GPU, but here is a larger capture.
In other words, it will only be available for systems manufacturers such as Dell, so you can not buy an RX 7400 on the shelf, and the only way in which it is likely to reach the market is in prevented machines (or it is sold second -hand, perhaps).
If that is disappointing, then the second pepita of news, with respect to a possible Intel GPU at the budget end of the spectrum is more positive, even if it takes into account that this is only speculation.
Videcardz collected a publication from Lasse Kärkkäinen in X that mentions a new Battlemage GPU ID that Intel has added to the 3D table graphics library (in Linux).
@Haze2k1, @x86deadandback now 0xe209 is being added to Mesa could also be the consumer variant of B50 Pro with 16 XE nuclei. (B380 maybe?) Pic.twitter.com/xwdqdfzzoeAugust 8, 2025
As you can see, the theory is that this could be an Intel Arc Battlemage consumer variant with 16 XE nuclei, which would logically be the B380 to sit under the existing B580 (and B570).
Analysis: New GPU Hope Budget?
As a budget GPU, the B380 would be a considerable leap of the A380: the latter has 8 XE nuclei, so the Battlemage successor doubles it. In theory, it would be combined with 8 GB of VRM (slightly stronger than the 6 GB found in the A380).
In general, then, it would be a very useful update, especially because this would truly be Budget graphics card. Remember that the A380 launched only $ 150 in the US, therefore, it would expect the B380 to certainly reach less than $ 200, a price level that desperately needs more attention, frankly.
After all, the supplies of AMD RX 6600, which has long been recommended as one of the main options at this end of the spectrum, seem to dry (and is no longer as cheap as a result).
Unfortunately, I bet that RX 7400 will not appear outside the prebuid PCs, as noted (and is previously rumored). And even if you do, AMD could decide to set a price label at the GPU that has no less than $ 200; So, in terms of value, it may not be much more attractive than RX 6600 in its current form.
That said, in the change of RX 7400 it is finally available as an independent GPU, it could be an attractive option for small PC compilations (with that use of frugal energy).
