AMD is gearing up to leave behind its RDNA3 graphics architecture with the upcoming RDNA4 series, and the buzz is getting louder as leaks suggest big reveals at CES 2025. Here’s what you need to know about the AMD Radeon RX 8000 series.
AMD Radeon RX 8000 Series Could Debut at CES 2025
Though AMD has not made any official announcements yet, rumors are swirling that the high-end Navi 48 model could be unveiled at CES 2025 in January. It seems logical for AMD to introduce their top-tier Navi 48 model at this major event, setting the stage for a showdown with NVIDIA’s anticipated RTX 50 series.
The mid-range Navi 44 is expected to hit the markets in the second quarter of the next year, by which time NVIDIA would likely have already launched its mid-tier RTX 50 models. AMD’s Navi 44 is poised to challenge both NVIDIA and Intel’s Arc Battlemage graphics cards.
Both chips, based on the RDNA4 architecture, will not only empower standalone graphics cards but also energize the Radeon RX 8000 mobile GPU series. Exact specifications and performance levels are still under wraps, but it is suggested that Navi 48 and 44 will target the mainstream and entry-level gaming segments.
Additionally, AMD has been making moves with its next-gen RDNA 4 graphic architecture updates under the “GFX12” codename for Linux, referred to as “GFX1200” and “GFX1201” in the Linux environment. These codenames are believed to represent the first graphics cards in the Radeon RX 8000 series being developed under the RDNA4 architecture.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits these developments, it’s clear that AMD is not just keeping pace but aiming to redefine the graphics card market. What are your thoughts on the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 8000 series? Share your views in the comments below!
