Finally ! After months of rumors and sometimes contradictory assumptions, AMD has officially presented the nomenclature and some details regarding its new Radeon graphics cards. More precisely, the manufacturer has revealed certain characteristics of its next range of GPUs based on the RDNA 4 architecture.
We now have confirmation thatAMD has chosen to move directly to the Radeon RX 9000, skipping the 8000 series. It is also now known that the manufacturer’s next graphics cards will adopt a nomenclature closer to that of its competitor NVIDIA, with the third digit of the models corresponding to the targeted range by the product, as is the case with the GeForce RTX. The idea here is to simplify, according to AMD, the comparison with competing cards.
Radeon RXs which adopt the GeForce RTX nomenclature
Concretely, the Radeon RX 7600 Series and RX 7700 Series will be replaced by the RX 9060 Serieswhile the Radeon RX 7800 Series and RX 7900 Series will give way to the Radeon RX 9070 Series in the manufacturer’s catalog. The RX 7900 XTX, however, will remain the most powerful card offered by AMD, pending the subsequent arrival of a hypothetical RX 9080 Series.
In practice, the comparison is actually simpler with the current GeForce RTX: the RX 9060 and RX 9060 4070 Ti. The fact remains that with the upcoming arrival of the GeForce RTX 50 Series and the shift in range that will take place, this Machiavellian plan from AMD to guide the potential buyer in the choice of their future graphics card risks falling to the wayside. water…
In terms of technical characteristics, AMD has remained stingy with details. At most the manufacturer confirms that thearchitecture RDNA 4 will benefit from 4 nm engraving finesse and will embed second generation AI calculation units and accelerators raytracing third generation, all sprinkled with optimizations and performance improvements. The manufacturer also indicates that the video engine integrated into these GPUs will offer better encoding quality.
FSR4, or FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, will also appear with these future graphics cards; it will even be to them a priori reserve. Taking full advantage of the calculation units dedicated to AI of the RDNA 4 architecture, the FSR4 will use Machine Learning to offer upscaling 4K quality in all games already compatible with FSR 3.1. AMD Adrenalin will also use these AI computing units, with generative features directly integrated into this software suite. The first Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT will be available in the first quarter of the year, so we should learn a little more in the coming weeks.
