AMD RX 7800 XT / 7700 XT graphics card abandoned 12VHPWR, saying that the problem should not be passed on to consumers

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com Sept. 2, AMD announced in late August the Bank of China official guidance prices for Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics cards, which are 4099 yuan and 3699 yuan, respectively.

The above two graphics cards are based on Navi 32 GPU and are equipped with a standard 8-pin power interface. However, Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager of the graphics business department of AMD, said in an interview with club386 media recently that the company had planned to introduce a 12x4-pin 12VHPWR power supply port, but finally gave up.

CTOnews.com translation part of the interview is as follows:

We did initially consider using new power ports on Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics cards, but we abandoned the plan after testing.

Personally, I think this is the right decision and we should not pass the problem on to consumers. Just like we fix the VC heat dissipation problem, we must have the courage to solve the user's problem.

After all the problems with the 12VHPWR power interface have been fixed, we will deploy it to our product.
