There's a new generation of Radeon driver software arriving next month, and AMD today is announcing the name for the suite. It will be called the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, and is named after the Adrenalin Rose.

Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition will launch roughly a year after the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition was unleashed onto the gaming community. AMD brags that its "Crimson" family of Radeon driver software has maintained high user satisfaction ratings, with the current generation maintaining a greater than 90 percent satisfaction rating for the past year.

"Radeon Software has delivered to users 70 software releases, launch day support for more than 75 games and over 50 new or enhanced features, with more than 250 million downloads across the globe," AMD explains. "Radeon Software continues to lead the way in elevating high-performance gaming and VR experience for gamers, professionals and game developers."

We should soon begin to learn more about what's new with the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, and what features and performance benefits will arrive as a result to advance Radeon graphics through 2018. We're also expecting for AMD to give us an official launch date in the coming days.

Until then, check out this teaser trailer from AMD:
