*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

[ICDP]

Well this is a gaming focused enthusiast forum, so the majority here don’t see this massive disparity in priority. AMD have been massively focused over the years in not just taking on Intel, but have utterly taken over as the main CPU player. GPUs have been a sideshow for AMD and all the complaints about them needing to compete in GPUs or risk losing all their market share and dying because of this are laughable. AMD are making the vast majority of their profits in CPU/APU business.

Nvidia never had this luxury of having a bigger and more lucrative side of their business to focus on. Now we are seeing how Nvidia are taking the same approach to sideline gamers for AI.

PC GPU markets are decreasing year on year for both Nvidia and AMD. High prices and low gains are the new norm folks.

Apart from not having upgrade-ability, I am surprised its taken AMD this long to start releasing high performance APU's.

APUs have long being the domain of gaming consoles only and now it seems AMD may be bringing higher performance to desktop. These new ones are 120w TDP, I'd like to see more though, give us 250w APUs like the consoles

Radeon RX 9070 confirmed in early March AMD has confirmed its plans for Radeon RX 9070 launch. It looks like we may not need to wait much longer for RDNA4. In just one month, AMD could launch its new graphics card series, which gained attention due to a rather odd announcement at CES. Although...

Ok so 4 or 5 weeks. a little sooner than expected, probably right after RTX 5070/Ti.

Does anyone else realise how monumental that is? This is like having an affair with the better looking brother.

Yeah, It was one of the few really interesting bits of the ces presentation, along with the ai max (stupid name) chips.

Back in the day it was the deal between dell and intel that nearly drove amd out of the cpu space completely. And now it's amd with a deal

When even Dell can see the writing on the wall...

AMD are repeating the late 1990's early 2000's, for those who don't know from about the early 1990's AMD were knocking out X86 CPU's that were better than anything Intel had, just like today, by the early 2000's AMD had overtaken overall X86 marketshare, that is +50% total and at this point also accelerating rapidly.

What AMD had was better X86 products, what they didn't have was pots of cash, unlike Intel who used their vast accumulated wealth to buy AMD's marketshare, to such an extent AMD went from selling more CPU's than they could make to not even being able to give them away, they offered Dell 1 million CPU's for free, Dell turned them down citing they would lose money if they accepted them, that's when AMD learned Intel was paying people like Dell not to use AMD CPU's.
It got so bad AMD almost went bankrupt.

This time with AMD being older and wiser they realised they had to drain Intel of their accumulated wealth, which they have now done, Intel are skint, heavily in debt and making 0 money, infact at the last fanatical report Intel have lost a staggering $16.7 billion, which added to their spiralling debt.

This is personal for AMD.

Yeah AMD have also found new promise in the laptop space and using this AI movement to do what apple have done with their lightweight but copious unified memory offering an easy market share.

Onboard graphics, consoles and the dGPU low(er) end will also take priority over trying to slug out high end - although now they see nvidia stalling they will be smiling a little considering the flak they had for their efforts.
