Circuit Board (PCB) Analysis

GPU Chip Voltage Controller
GPU Voltage, VRM Configuration

AMD is using a 12-phase GPU VRM design, which is powered by an expensive Infineon XDPE132G5D 16-phase VRM controller. For GPU voltage, a 12-phase VRM configuration is installed. Surprisingly, this is the same VRM design as on the RTX 6800 XT.


AMD is using Alpha & Omega Semiconductor DrMOS components throughout the VRM. This is a difference to the XT, which uses International Rectifier DrMOS chips.

Memory Chip Voltage Controller
Memory Voltage, VRM Configuration

Memory voltage uses a 3-phase design controlled by an International Rectifier IR35217 controller.

Graphics Card Memory Chips

The GDDR6 chips are made by Samsung, carry the model number "K4ZAF325BM-HC16," and are rated to run at 16 Gbps.

Graphics Chip GPU

Built on the same TSMC N7 (7 nm) node as "Navi 10," the "Navi 21" silicon is spread across a 519.8 mm² die area and packs 26.8 billion transistors. The pinkish-red tinge we saw on the "Navi 10" is gone.
