3.2X the performance of the 7900XTX is a pipe dream. I'll be amazed if they even get 2X!

give us 4080 performance for 500$ and everyone is happy

tomorrow his video title will be '5090 DESTROYS AMD FOR GOOD'

Even if they don't beat the 5090, it's safe to assume it'll be better in the performance per $ department

RDNA is like the Cowboys of the NFL. Every year is our year 😂.

nVidia also once said their new GPU's were going to be 3x faster than the previous Gen. Boy was it a big fat lie.

I run a 7900XTX myself, but this happens almost every generation, AMD hype comes out, people speculate and ultimately, everyone is disappointed. Nvidia retains the crown or gets it back pretty quick. Vega64 hype anyone? I really don't think AMD NEEDS a super high end either. What I would really like to have is a Ray Accelerator card that is vendor agnostic. Kinda like the old Aegis PhysX add in cards. I'd pay 200-350$ for a second card that was dedicated to ray tracing.

Amd ceo and nvidia ceo are cousins first grade😂

Nvidia fanboys in the comments are being so insecure, guys, no one cares that amd can't touch the 4090, the 4090 is the price of an entire good PC in it if it's self, of course it's crazy powerful, people are fine that it's not being beaten soon.

if you see this type of video from him in your recommended, you can click on the 3 vertical dots to the side of the title and click "Don't recommend channel"

hmm... this thumbnail seems familiar. oh right. the leak that showed us the crazy 3x performance boost of RDNA3 vs RDNA2 here we go again smh

remember lads, one day ,we will see low end apus for portable pc with 150 tf and think the performance is crap

AMD should go all out with RDNA 5. Just create the biggest and most powerful GPU they possibly can. If AMD can get MCM done right, it could massively pay off.

Good to have hope, is there any chance that's gonna be real? Not even ZERO

This joker is at it again. We're going to get a 300% performance improvement, then we get the reality of 15%. People believe everything random RU-vidrs publish. Most are clueless though.

these will never materialize

I wish they had a secret weapon on their hands. I want something in the high-end to replace my XTX

We don't know how rdna4 will preform, and then there is this guy and his 9950xt

These are probably their AI and Render farm cards. Those are less sensitive to inter chip latencies. The old micro stutter/jitter of sli/crossfire is an example of this. Yet if you sli a couple cards for a render or ai things work fine and go faster.

I am so ready to go all AMD

There is absolutely nothing in the Tom's Hardware article that says that AMD is moving out of the gaming market. I have been saying that AMD is sandbagging. It is a great business strategy IF you are willing to take some heat in the short term.

Let’s just accept that amd’s gpus exist solely as a [somewhat] cheaper alternative to nvidia and not a replacement. They’re not dethroning anyone.

Im committed to the 5090, but if RDNA5 does come out like this, im going to switch in a hot second. That's too much performance to leave on the table

I have been wathing this exact thing before every release cycle for the last 15 years. AMD isn't releasing an Nvidia killer. It's not happening.

Amd has already stated they are focusing on mid range? This sounds like opium compium silicon. If they do release a workhorse it will cost $$$

32gb vram, amd rx 8888xt, 8kgaming, faster than 5090 ti, and 8x ray tracing performance.

The 9950X3D is on the way as well... 😮

Nah

I'm getting a contact high from all that hopium and copium.

What would be RDNA5 I beleive more along than most expect due to transfer of staff from high end RDNA4 also because new break throws with interconnect speeds and size. RDNA4 will be a stepping stone if AMD price right may gain market share if Nvidia keeps raising prices &Disrespecting customers generally taking them for granted.

Given the minimal improvements from the 6000 to 7000 generation its entirely possible that AMD gets larger than average gains, Nvidia did something very similar going from the GTX 980 to the 1080 where there were design improvements that yielded huge gains over a single generation. AMD also admitted they could have made a more powerful flagship, either by higher power consumption or larger GPU Die. THAT SAID RDNA 3 was the advent of the MCM (multi-chip) design that was supposed to deliver on similar/better performance at much lower costs but that never actually manifested for us consumers (especially the price part). None of the actual confirmed changes released up to this point indicate huge performance gains for RNDA 4 so unless pricing comes way, way down there is zero indication AMD would be able to deliver a 2x increase let alone what is projected here for Raw performance. Price is what is going to matter for them over the next 2 years for AMD because let me tell you no one is going to want to pay $500 for a RX 8800 XT, that will need to be a $350-$400 GPU if they want to get people excited again.

people talk about scaling the same way they did about SLI scaling as though you will never get 100% scaling but the fact is often times with both if you push the graphics hard enough you do in fact often see 100% scaling with both.

If this is RT boost speculation for RDNA4 of course it is good uplift, but to have good PT they need to have 2-3x faster PT.

Pretty sure they won't make this a consumer GPU, the margins are astronomical for "AI" cards. 8800 XT will be 4080ish performance for around $500 and will be the top card.

I don't get how combination of the same will give higher clock speeds

Guys I have 4060 and I want to buy I new gpu for my 4k 60hz tv should I wait for new gpus or buy the rx7900xt or gre

If AMD takes the same approach with their GPU's as they did with CPU's, they might get closer to getting up there. They need mind share and solid drivers before they make a beastly GPU.

I thought AMD already announced they are not going for high end segment?

"could be possible", "according to", yes we have to make content according to hunches and views from others without a reliable source.

If true, it will de- throne the 5090. But wont the 6090 be out by then? Dont get me wrong, i love AMD peoducts, its all I use but i always feel like AMD is competing with Nvidias last gen cards. Just an observation, dont kill me.

Should we care about a graphics card that will be released more than 2 years later? The question is whether the year 2025 will be a waste of time until the powerful original cards come two years later.

what does all but confirmed mean?

whjy isnt amd doing 8000 series cards?

It would be hard for AMD to put even two Gpus on one boards let alone 4 as there current top gpus pull like 450w and look at the size of the coolers on the 4090 they are rated to 600w.

i honstly think the 8800xt will be 2 to 3 times better in ray tracing the 7000 cards still use the same ray tracing as the rtx 20 series

So RDNA 5 beats Blackwell? What would be after Blackwell, Rubin?

This doesn't make sense to me, for at least a couple reasons: 1. WHY would AMD essentially tell the high end buyer "We won't be making cards for you", essentially leaving those buyers to go to Nvidia, RIGHT before releasing a high end GPU themselves. Sounds like a monumentally dumb move. As AMD themselves have said, the top end is a small slice of the market, so why on earth would they tell that limited number of customers to go away before their own release? and 2. It seems to me much more like lately AMD has been OVER-hyping their products, even going to dishonest lengths to portray their stuff as better than they actually are. Remember when they released graphs saying their product is just as good as a much more expensive competing product, only to forget to mention that those results were limited by a completely different component in the test system? It doesn't look like AMD to underrepresent products, at least at the moment.

I have been reliably informed by a lot of people that you should not get a 8800 and that you should just buy a 3060.

nice intro

Is that microphone end address or side address? and are you pointing the side address capsule upwards? This is a very unusual mount technique... Can you please explain your thoughts behind doing so?

Kind of hilarious that Apple was the first company to figure out the GPU interconnect for multiple dies running as a single unit. Nvidia wasn't far behind but technically Apple did it first... And then proceeded to continue having zero gaming support.

what does sandbagging mean?

Coming maybe in early 2026. Not sure if I want to hold on that long woth my already ageing 3080 ti 12 GB

I would call it “doom and gloom” to believe that AMD is cutting out high end products. That’s just a change in priorities. Instead of focusing on performance, they focus on value. I think it’s good when companies go through cycles of priorities like this. Some generations improve value, some improve performance, or hell even improving the power usage for the same performance.

These cards would be nice for the top 1% but need to really shake the market. If they released a 7900 xtx class performance card for 500 dollars 6 months ago they would've kicked ass the problem is they are going to wait for Nvidia to release their next cards. Then they are going to release a card just under Nvidia's 5080 for a hundred dollars less. They need to do what their CPU division did with Ryzen.

AMD says they are not going after the “high end” GPU’s…time to let it go

We havnt seen a functional dual chip recently let alone a functional quad chip.

I miss when AMD was first with DX11 and NVIDIA hadn't any card out there at that time 2009. DX 13 or something new revolution.

wait so they release RDNA4 in 2025 now they want to sprint to the release of RDNA5 in 2026? good lord what is happening. But im excited about UDNA. I hope they can match the RNDA Performance with the power efficiency of their workload cards (forgot the DNA name) and finaly get a one in all graphics card like NVIDIA does kinda.

Buy Rdna 5 or wait for Vega?

Suspect that RDNA5 has been rebranded as UDNA 5 and getting worked more as some sort of CDNA/RDNA unification all along more than likely. I think as you add the sorts of things to really increase ray trace capacity it starts to look even more like it can have an essentially more general purpose kind of setup anyway more than likely.

They've been promising that since 5 or 6 generations ago, so doubt it

im about to go all out with AMD, been an Nvidia fan for a decade now 😂😂

RDNA 5 looks interesting

8000 high-end was scraped because design was late and would have been too close to 9000 series launch, which is why they put all resources related to 8000 highend to 9000. I would be extremely disappointed if they had to do same to 9000 series and I would probably loose hope of getting chiplet gaming compute unit been split. Main issue as far as i understand is getting the these computes unites to talk each other fast enough and thus theoretical max performance especially for gaming is meaningless. It all comes down to how costly the communication will be, and if it would indeed be only 70% I bet AMD would be pretty happy. Even 50% would be insanely good for fist gen.

Bro I hope AMD be sandbagging, under promising and over delivering.

Hope? Yes. Reality? No. As a theoretical concept, it's valid, but that's as far as it goes. They've been having problems coordinating multiple chiplets without serious latency penalties that cripple performance.

Sound like an AI card and it sounds early for a next generation since RDNA 4 isn't out yet sounds early for a UDN product unless UDN is a rebrand of an existing likely AI development path.

They are not sandbagging. They will not be releasing any 9000 series any time soon. Let alone a card the pushes 600w. AMD development is always weighted more toward efficiency than performance. They make their money serving a market where efficiency is king and that will always have a direct effect on whatever consumer product they develop.

just need one for the 2nd gen of g9 57 ultrawide or i might get titan ai

so amd is providing a true " sli " config with rdna 5 , still worried about the latency between the chips tho , unless, each gpu chip in that chiplet design can do one specialized task , like , 1 would handle vertex generation, the second could do the raster part, the 3rd could do the post proccess, so on and so fourth , actually ,something like that could be beneficial on console , the devs would just have to worry about the timings for each chips

Its been years since AMD tell that expectations

If its true that the Rx 8800 xt will be Rtx 4080 performance for half the price then its all good

Your thinking 3 x the performance but twice the price? You are supposed to get more performance for less. Or at least the same price. little bit more.

I am still running an rx 480 I bought new at release. No secret cards this time.

I’m not sure who exaggerates more, him or camels harris. Camels harris lie quite a lot so I think we’ll call it a tie.

Not a chance even this will be real from AMD. Enthusiast will be shedding close to $1999 to $2499 or more at retail for a 5090 GPU, by the time RDNA/UDNA 5+ comes out NVidia may have the 6000 series ready to cook. I believe it's a mistake that AMD will not compete in the high end GPU this time around.

You are jumping the gun here. AMD has already done multi computedie GPUs for CDNA. It is not any good for gaming because gaming requires lower latency. That is the reason why AMD went with single "big" compute die and multiple memory chiplets. There is massive overhead in this type of design and it is extremely amazing how well AMD did, but there clearly was performance left untapped. Going with two or more compute chiplets makes any many times more harder to get rid on the overhead it brings. AMD is much better of with big compute die and memory chiplets like they did with 7000 series or just go as far as they can with monolithic die. While CDNA type architecture is perfect for compute, AI and simulation applications and scales very well, that sort of architecture would require some heavy substrate modifications and some heavy innovation to get rid of this so called "buss" between the dies. Currently there has to be a buss for chiplets to talk to one another and those require controllers for those busses. This is all additional logic which requires power and space and inherently generates higher latency. For gaming application this buss has to be super fast so that it won't become a bottleneck. It is much more difficult job to do vs what they did with Ryzen CPUs which till this day have that inherent flaw, though it has been mitigated trough out the years. However there will be a point where CDNA type architecture along with RDNA3's ideas will generate new innovation and products that could possibly overcome these issues. Or we discover a totally new way of doing GPUs. EDIT: There are currently TSV's which with 3D packaging can do almost just that which is to get rid of extra busses between dies. With this sort of setup it is possible to connect two dies with the shortest possible paths. However this will bring another issue which is heat and getting both dies cooled. Also packaging two very expensive dies without braking both is very difficult and possibly out of reach for current 3D packaging technologies.

If it sounds to good to be true it usually is.

No chance. Not enough corporate will to do it

I don't hate the idea of AMD under promising and over delivering for once.

The xtx has more then 5090 and Titan ai u showed we amd take over this time

How many generations have we heard this exact claim?

highest mid tier 8000 for me next year which should be great to hold me over till RDNA5's Highest Mid tier Card. I also hope they have em lots in stock because I been wanting Reference Cards going forward. also everyones against it but can I have my 3.1 power connector on my AMD cards already...having a single cord vs 3x 8 pins would be nice

Ultimat come from behind victory by AMD incoming!! Suk it ngreedia 😆 😎

Love the mustache 👌🏼

Odell Plaza

.Lo que tú digas hermoso.

Gnc was not chiplets.

Rtx 4070s and 7800xt is slower than 6950xt in avg, I do not think 8800xt will pass 7900xtx

atp the only thing they dethroned are from intels

wonderful entrance lmao

I click on your videos for laughs😂

I've never seen ears like yours before.

1kw gpu please we need cgi level games

Never gonna happen! I'll be shocked if this is true. Hope it is though.

Very interesting.
