AMD has officially unveiled the Radeon RX 7400 graphics card, based on the RDNA 3 architecture. Positioned as the entry-level model within the company’s RX 7000 series, the new model was quietly announced without any press conference or large-scale launch. The Radeon RX 7400 is designed for gaming but also features integration into enterprise systems.

The card shares the same specifications as AMD’s previously introduced Radeon PRO W7400. However, this time, it’s aimed at gamers looking for budget-friendly solutions, not professional users. The card uses a stripped-down version of the Navi 33 graphics processor.
It comes with 1792 stream processors, 28 compute units, and 28 ray tracing accelerators. 56 accelerator units are also included for AI processing. The GPU has a total of 13.3 billion transistors.
The memory capacity is 8GB of GDDR6. It can reach 173 GB/s bandwidth with a 10.8 Gbps memory speed over a 128-bit memory bus. This represents approximately 40 percent lower performance than the RX 7600 with the same memory.
While ray tracing support is included, this feature offers limited performance in practice due to limited hardware power. However, the RX 7400 is AMD’s most affordable RX 7000 series card with ray tracing support.
Another notable aspect of the card is its energy efficiency. Total card power is kept to 55W, meaning it can operate without requiring an external power connector. This feature is particularly advantageous for systems with limited power supplies. Regarding cooling, a single-slot design and a compact chassis of 167 mm length have been chosen.
There is currently no announcement regarding whether the product will be available in the retail market. However, it has been confirmed that the card is being used in Dell’s new entry-level enterprise desktop systems. Initial distribution appears to be to OEM manufacturers. Shipment is expected to expand soon.
