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.
If you’re familiar with AMD’s existing graphics cards, the first thing you likely noticed is that the number scheme here is slightly different. You may even think I've typed it wrong. This is because AMD has traditionally used the hundreds digit to differentiate its graphics cards, like the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT versus the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. That stops here, however, and for the time being, AMD will instead use the tens digits for this purpose, similar to what Nvidia does.
