AMD unveiled its RDNA 4 architecture at CES 2025, focusing on AI enhancements and next-gen FSR 4 upscaling. While the new RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are expected to arrive soon, they appear to target the mid-range market rather than directly compete with Nvidia's flagship GPUs.
AMD revealed its long-awaited RDNA 4 architecture at CES 2025 , but it arrived with more of a thud and less of a bang. Although the new RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 could make the list of the best graphics cards , it’s hard to say if they will right now, despite the fact that the cards are expected to arrive in the first few months of this year. In its action-packed CES keynote, the new RDNA 4 range was a passing note instead of the main event.
Although details about the new RDNA 4 architecture are light, AMD says it updated just about every aspect of its GPU design. That includes better ray tracing performance with third-gen RT accelerators, broader media encoding support with a second-gen AMD Radiance Display engine, and critically, AI grunt with second-gen AI accelerators. Those AI accelerators are important, as it appears they’ll power AMD’s next-gen FSR 4 upscaling and frame generation tech. AMD has been fighting against Nvidia’s DLSS for years now, but FSR 4 looks like a turning point. The company says the ML-powered feature was “developed for RDNA 4,” which means the feature is exclusive to RDNA 4 graphics cards. It’s worth noting that AMD’s last-gen GPUs, like the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, come with first-gen AI accelerators as well. Still, only RDNA 4 GPUs will be able to use the new feature, and AMD says it’ll be available in games that already support FSR 3.1. For RDNA 4, AMD announced that the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 will arrive in the first quarter of 2025, but it didn’t provide a release date. The company also revealed that it’s working on a range of RX 9060 GPUs, though it didn’t detail any specifics about that range. As rumors have suggested for over a year, and as AMD has hinted at itself, the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 won’t compete with Nvidia at a flagship level. AMD is targeting midrange gamers with its new GPU
