AMD to unveil Radeon RX 9000 RDNA 4 tomorrow
New 4nm GPUs, featuring AI accelerators and advanced ray tracing, designed to ensure competitive gaming performance
Isabella V27 February 2025
AMD unveils new RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, built on 4nm node, with second-generation AI accelerators, third-generation ray tracing cores and FSR 4, offering competitive performance for advanced gaming.
Key points:
- 4 nm process for high performance
- Second-generation AI accelerators
- Third-generation ray tracing cores and FSR 4 support
- Competitive pricing geared toward advanced gaming
On Feb. 28, 2025, AMD will unveil its new Radeon RX 9000 range, divided into two families: the RX 9070 series, which is based on the 48-core Navi architecture, and the RX 9060 series, which is based on a 44-core Navi architecture; these GPUs, designed as part of the RDNA 4 platform, are manufactured via a 4-nm process and integrate second-generation AI accelerators, dedicated third-generation ray tracing units, and support for FSR 4, elements that ensure high performance in graphics handling and multimedia encoding; in particular, the RX 9070 XT model is distinguished by 64 processing units equivalent to 4096 cores, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, a TBP of 304 W, and operating frequencies reaching 3 GHz, while the RX 9070 version features 56 CUs, or 3584 cores, while maintaining the same memory allocation and a lower TBP of 220 W, features that place it in a price range estimated between US$600 and US$700, competitively against the NVIDIA RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 models; in addition, the “All You Need for Gaming” event will highlight the focus on AIB configurations only, with some models adopting 16-pin connectors and others retaining the traditional 8-pin approach, while discussion of the development of a possible 32 GB variant for specific AI workloads continues to generate interest among specialist sources, putting the focus on technical specifications and performance parameters without making definitive assessments.
The announcement highlights further progress in the evolution of graphics solutions for gaming.
