CEO Lisa Su annoucned the new graphics card and processor lines as part of AMD’s updated hardware and software roadmap.
The latest roadmap for AMD’s products has been shown, revealing a whole host of planned hardware releases ranging from Zen 4 CPUs launching later this year to new APUs for datacenter use. Perhaps most exciting, though, is the news of new hardware slated for launch further down the line: RDNA 4 graphics cards and Zen 5 processors, both due for release in 2024. RDNA 4 will (shockingly enough) follow the new RDNA 3 GPU architecture scheduled to launch later this year. That means we’ve just been given our very first glimpse of Radeon RX 8000-series gaming GPUs, codenamed ‘Navi 4x’. We don’t have any concrete numbers on the RX 8000 graphics cards yet, but the flagship will likely be the RX 8900 XT and is presumed to employ a dual-node architecture using 3nm and 5nm processes. It appears that the Navi 4x family will exclusively use RDNA 4 architecture, while rumors suggest that Navi 3x (the RX 7000 series coming this year) may use RDNA 3 for the higher-end GPUs and a refreshed RDNA 2 for the cheaper ones.
