AMD reveals RDNA 4 architecture, Radeon RX 9070 GPUs, and Ryzen 9000 X3D CPUs
FSR 4 upgrades, AI accelerators, and RDNA 4 ray tracing improvements soft-launched for now
What just happened? The big surprise out of CES 2025 is that AMD hasn't fully launched new RDNA 4 GPUs at the show, instead deciding to merely "preview" the new architecture and a couple of graphics card models. As of writing, AMD has officially announced the RDNA 4 graphics architecture, Radeon RX 9070 series of GPUs, ML-powered FSR 4 upscaling, and new Ryzen 9000 X3D desktop CPUs. We've got all the information for you here, plus a few thoughts on what AMD has shown off so far.

The company wants to handle upscaling and denoising with a single AI model
AMD might have delayed RDNA 4 launch due to oversupply of RDNA 3 graphics cards
Navi 31 isn't proving popular
Rumor mill: Those looking forward to AMD's next-gen RDNA 4 desktop graphics cards might be waiting a little longer than anticipated – but they'll still be here before Nvidia's equivalent GeForce 5000 series. That's according to a new rumor that claims Team Red's rollout of its upcoming GPUs is being delayed because of all the unsold RDNA 3 cards.
AMD Strix Point mobile CPU pictured, shows notable upgrades over Phoenix
Most of the key specs are outlined
What just happened? Team Red is firing on all cylinders with their latest "Strix Point" mobile processors launching this summer, representing a generational upgrade over last year's Phoenix chips. New images are out, and the most obvious change is the die size increase from 9.06mm x 15.01mm on Phoenix to 12.06mm x 18.71mm, allowing for some serious under-the-hood upgrades.

AMD to introduce AI-based upscaling, potentially matching DLSS
Something to look forward to: AMD's FSR image upscaling technology has avoided using AI until now, which has been a double-edged sword in its competition against Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's XeSS. A recent interview with AMD's CTO indicates that the company plans to pivot sharply toward AI in 2024, with gaming upscaling as one area of focus.
AMD mid-range and entry-level RDNA 4 GPUs could match RTX 4080 and 4060 Ti
Rumor mill: Sources have previously told YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead that AMD plans to release only mid-range and entry-level graphics cards in its upcoming RDNA 4 series, likely launching sometime in 2024. A new report from the channel provides more concrete details regarding the die size, processors, and release window.

Today we're comparing AMD's best value high-end GPU from the previous generation, the Radeon RX 6800 XT, to the new Radeon RX 7900 XT, which offers decent value after receiving a price cut to $800.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Review: Is This GPU DOA at $900?
The Radeon RX 7900 XT is a cut down version of the 7900 XTX. In terms of core and memory, the 7900 XT ends up roughly 85% that of the flagship model, but the problem ultimately is with pricing.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review: RDNA 3 Flagship is Fast
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a pretty good GPU, at least relative to its GeForce competitor, but whether or not it's worth $1,000 will depend on how much stock you place in ray tracing performance.
