Arrr, me hearties! Nvidia may be swashbucklin' with joy 'bout the latest RDNA 4 GPU whispers, but mark me words, RDNA 5 be lurkin' in the shadows like a treacherous sea serpent ready to plunder their booty! Aye, aye, me mateys!
AMD’s next-gen graphics cards, likely to be sold as RX 8000 models, may primarily focus on addressing issues with existing RDNA 3 GPUs rather than significantly improving performance. This speculation comes from a leaker named Wjm47196, who has resurfaced on the Chiphell forums with information about the next-gen RDNA 4 GPUs and RDNA 5. It is suggested that RDNA 4 will be more of a "bug fix" for RDNA 3, aimed at rectifying performance issues rather than introducing a new approach.According to the leaker, the real architectural changes and a "clean sheet design" will be seen with RDNA 5, which could involve a name change as well. While the performance of RDNA 4 GPUs is expected to be comparable to the RX 7900 XT, it may not offer a significant improvement over current-gen GPUs, particularly falling short of the 7900 XTX.Despite concerns about the lack of advancement with RDNA 4, focusing on stability, reliability, and enhancing ray tracing could be a positive strategy for AMD. Emphasizing affordability and value proposition, especially in the mid-range GPU segment, could be crucial for AMD to compete effectively in the GPU market, especially against potential new offerings from Nvidia.
