Hopes are excessive for AMD RDNA 4, as most present technology graphics cards from workforce crimson supply implausible efficiency and worth. Nonetheless, in a wierd flip of occasions, it seems that AMD could also be planning to skip manufacturing any high-end Radeon GPUs constructed on the microarchitecture altogether.
This information comes from {hardware} leaker Kepler_L2, who claims to have spoken to 3 sources that recommend AMD RDNA 4 pixel pushers will solely goal the midrange and price range markets.
Additionally they state that RDNA 4 can be just like “RDNA 1 or Polaris”, referring to the Radeon RX 5000 and RX 500 sequence. Neither of those GPU generations incoroporated any high-end SKUs, topping out with the $399 5700 XT and $279 RX 590, respectively.

Whereas AMD could also be retreating from the fanatic GPU house, it’s dwelling it up within the CPU market with the likes of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. As such, we absolutely anticipate it to proceed discovering a spot on our best gaming CPU checklist when it launches Zen 5 processors.
