In an industry-shaking announcement made by AMD’s CEO Dr. Lisa Su on a Tuesday, plans have been unveiled for the launch of the next-gen PC GPUs featuring RDNA 5 technology in early 2025. These revolutionary graphics cards are set to be part of AMD’s most robust PC portfolio yet, promising a transformation in the gaming landscape.
Key points from the roadmap update and financial results shared during the third quarter of 2024 include:
- Emphasis on data-center products for revenue generation, with particular focus from Wall Street analysts.
- Despite strong performance in the data-center segment, AMD’s Gaming business saw a decline in revenue, attributed to reduced inventories of gaming GPUs for consoles.
- Anticipation for AMD’s next-gen GPUs impacted the PC graphics market, as manufacturers and vendors held off on selling existing products.
- RDNA 4 technology promises enhanced gaming and ray-tracing performance, along with innovative AI capabilities.
- The launch of the RDNA 4 GPUs is expected in early 2025, marking a significant advancement in gaming performance.
Excitement surrounds the speculation on the upcoming RX 8000 GPU, rumored to be named Navi 48 or Navi 44, and targeted towards midrange price points. The anticipated early-2025 release timeline indicates a potential showcase at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.
Looking ahead to future product launches, AMD has already set a date for the debut of the Ryzen 9000X3D gaming/content-creation GPU. Strong revenue growth driven by consumer demand for AMD’s latest Ryzen processors indicates a promising outlook for the company.
With a stellar performance forecast for the second half of the year and the impending launch of the X3D chip, AMD anticipates continued success in 2025. CEO Lisa Su expressed confidence in the robustness of AMD’s PC portfolio, projecting growth in the mid-single digits for the PC market.
As the industry gears up for an eventful CES 2025, the competition heats up with AMD’s next-gen GPUs poised to rival Nvidia’s Blackwell series. The convergence of cutting-edge technologies promises an exciting start to the new year.
