As we near the end of 2024, small morsels of information are starting to hit the rumor mill for the next generation of gaming GPUs. AMD has had RDNA 3 GPUs since December of 2022, and it appears that soon we may have its first stack of RDNA 4 products with big improvements to ray tracing performance.  Potentially... Read more...
With CES 2025 kicking off next month on January 7th, the hype is starting to build for new products. AMD is one major player to keep an eye on, and there may be some interesting announcements around the bend. While nothing is confirmed, there is a chance we may see new RDNA 4 graphics cards from AMD, along with laptop... Read more...
The physical size of a processor tells you a surprising amount about its cost and capabilities, especially if you know the manufacturing process it's made on. AMD has been characteristically tight-lipped about its upcoming series of graphics processors based on the RDNA 4 architecture, but a new leak reveals the... Read more...
RDNA4 is definitely on the way, despite the fact that AMD has said almost exactly nothing about it besides confirming that it does technically exist. As far as we know, there are two Radeon GPUs on the way based on AMD's next-generation graphics architecture, known as Navi 48 and Navi 44. According to leakers, these... Read more...
AMD has been locked in a fierce battle with NVIDIA recently, with releases such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX at offering broadly competitive performance at a lower price. However, with the rumored next-generation RDNA 4-based GPUs from AMD, there is a chance the company may be missing a true competitor to NVIDIA’s... Read more...
For GPUs that will supposedly release within the next six months, AMD's RDNA 4-based Radeon chips have had few leaks. We don't know much, aside from that there will apparently only be two chips—Navi 44 and Navi 48—and that they will purportedly target the entry and mid-range gamer market, leaving the enthusiast tier...

AMD has followed in the footsteps of NVIDIA with its Radeon RX GPUs, trying to gain market share anywhere that it can. While the class-leading halo products such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX are released early in the life cycle of a GPU architecture, the entry level products often follow years later. It appears as though... Read more...
NVIDIA has enjoyed a substantial lead in ray tracing performance for the last few product releases, but things may soon be changing. AMD's upcoming RDNA 4 architecture may bring with it a significant increase for ray tracing capabilities, for both PC and console gamers.  One of the beneficiaries of this will be... Read more...
AMD's RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 GPUs, even the ones as small as the integrated GPU on the Steam Deck, fully support DirectX Ray-Tracing, or DXR. Despite that, their relatively poor performance in ray-tracing workloads is well-documented. The reason is because the RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 architectures only accelerate a small (but... Read more...
The next generation of AMD Radeon graphics cards might be quite a departure from its past products, if the rumors to date are accurate. The cards, which are likely to be part of the Radeon RX 8000 family, are expected to be based on the fifth revision of AMD's RDNA architecture, known as "RDNA 4" (with the fourth... Read more...
The graphics card market has one trend it follows in perpetuity, and that is the constant need for companies to develop further ahead than the competition. While NVIDIA has recently been in the spotlight thanks to its GeForce RTX Super GPUs, AMD is not one to sit on the sidelines. Thanks to updates to Linux, we now... Read more...
This one's a bit of a weird one, and it's going to require some analysis to understand, so pay close attention. The rumor this time around is that AMD's RDNA 4 graphics card line-up "will not have any high-end GPUs." The leaker compares the situation to RDNA 1 (the Radeon RX 5700 XT) and Polaris (the Radeon RX 480)... Read more...
"RDNA 4?" you cry, "but RDNA 3 just came out!" Indeed it did, and the release of AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX graphics cards just two months ago marked the debut of AMD's third iteration of its RDNA graphics architecture. Despite that, AMD's already talking-up RDNA 4. In an interview with Japanese site... Read more...
The global shortage of silicon is not preventing tech companies from continuing to innovate, and traveling down their respected roadmaps (ETAs just might need to be adjusted on occasion). We bring this up because a prominent leaker has already begun discussing supposed details related to AMD's eventual fourth... Read more...
