RDNA 4 Emerges! AMD Unveils Red-Hot Radeon RX 9000 GPUs With Big AI Focus
At CES 2025, AMD has taken the wraps off its next-gen graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9000 series, replete with a revamped performance architecture.
AMD’s highly anticipated RDNA 4 graphics cards will launch soon, headed by Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT GPUs, the company announced at CES 2025. The new RDNA 4 graphics architecture has several improvements, according to the chip maker, including faster graphics performance, more powerful AI processing, and AMD’s third-generation ray-tracing accelerators.
It isn’t yet clear how these GPUs will stack up against Nvidia’s inevitable GeForce RTX competition when these new Radeons drop during AMD’s vague timeline of “Q1 2025,” but you can be sure the next few months will be exciting as we discover more about them, and what they’re up against.
AMD is not coy about the reason for this: The company clearly stated this was to better match up with its competitors, i.e., Nvidia. I have no complaints here! While I liked the older way AMD numbered its graphics cards, this new system will better indicate which of AMD’s latest graphics cards compare with which models from Nvidia or Intel for consumers who don’t spend all day keeping score in the GPU world.
AMD’s information tipped off that a Radeon RX 9060 series is in the offing, too, but it gave no other details on these products.
