Facing the oncoming NVIDIARTX50 series graphics cards, AMD has also prepared a new generation of RDNA4 architecture products. However, at this CES2025 conference, the new cards were not officially released. They were only briefly previewed and disclosed some overall design and technical features.
As previously rumored, AMD has temporarily given up on the flagship competition this time, and has only achieved high-end performance levels. Just like the Radeon HD3800/4800 series back then, it is engaging in misaligned competition like a horse race.
Of course, the most important thing is the price, after allThere are never junk products, only junk prices, especially seeing that NVIDIA has been in an absolute dominance and can set prices at will, it is even more necessary for AMD to create a real dessert card with high cost performance.
However, all this will not be known until the new card is officially released.
First of all, AMD's habit of changing the name of graphics cards has happened again. This time it is not called the RX8000 series (this sequence is reserved for the notebook's RDNA3.5 architecture integrated display), but it has crossed over to the RX9000 series.
Navi48 high-end chips are named RX9070 series, including RX9070XT and RX9070.
The mainstream chips of Navi44 are named RX9050 series, and the specific model has not been announced yet.
AMD said that the new naming method is simpler and can directly match competing products, making it easier to compare.
Just a few generations later, will NVIDIA still insist on naming RTX9070 and RTX9050?
The manufacturing process of RDNA4 architecture chips has been upgraded from 5nm to4nm, improvements at the macro level include:Optimize CU computing unit, improve AI calculation, improve light tracing, enhance encoding quality, etc.
This time, AMD also broughtThe second-generation AI accelerator, the third-generation light-tracing accelerator, the second-generation Radiance display engine, etc.
As for the specific details, we can only wait until the subsequent release of the ban.
FSR4 super-resolution technology arrived as promised, and machine learning was finally used, that is, using a specialized hardware unit for acceleration, which naturally results in better results and better performance.
What is currently known is that FSR4 will support scaling up to 4K resolution, with new FG frame generation technology to further improve performance, and with Anti-Lag2 technology, the latency will be lower.
But pay attention,FSR4 is specifically designed to serve RDNA4 graphics cards, after all, it relies on new hardware units, so it will not be delegated to old graphics cards.
Of course, this also means that FSR3 will continue to develop, with new and old versions running in parallel, and there is no direct replacement relationship.
At the driver level, AMD will also introduce more AI elements to support more gameplay, such asVincentian diagrams, local document summaries, AMD related knowledge Q&A, wait, I believe there will be more.
RX9070XT and RX9070 graphics cards will be released within the first quarter. Graphics card brands includeAcer, Asus, Sapphire, XFX, ASRock, Gigabyte, Xunxun, Hankai, Yeston.
Yes, Acer is also making AMD graphics cards! They also have Intel graphics.
