Rumor: New AMD Radeon RX 9000 GPU Release Plans Leaked

by

Summary

  • Rumors suggest the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series of GPUs may be released over multiple months, and the Radeon RX 9070 XT could be the first new card from AMD this year.
  • AMD could announce the new Radeon cards at CES 2025, starting January 6.
  • Add-in board partner cards may not be ready until February or March due to uncertainty regarding release timing in China.

As a seasoned tech enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that I’ve seen more than a few twists and turns in the world of graphics cards. The latest rumors about AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 series have piqued my interest, especially considering their potential staggered release.

If these rumors hold true, it would be a bold move by AMD to release their flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT in January while partners’ cards follow suit in February or March. I remember the days when companies used to wait for the perfect moment to unveil their top-tier GPUs, but times have changed, and it seems that AMD is embracing a more flexible approach.

I’m eagerly awaiting CES 2025 as AMD has promised to announce its next generation of graphics cards there. If they can deliver on the promise of FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4) and potentially outperform Nvidia’s Deep-Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), it could be a game changer for gamers.

On a lighter note, I remember when AMD used to struggle in the GPU market, but it looks like they’re coming back with a vengeance! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll see a situation where people are waiting in line for an AMD GPU launch – now that would be a sight to behold!

Based on reports, it’s possible that the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series of graphics cards could be launched incrementally between January and March, starting with the top-tier Radeon RX 9070 XT model. AMD is anticipated to unveil its upcoming lineup of graphics cards at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on January 6, where they are expected to give more details.

The most recent gossip surfaced during a bustling period in the PC components sector. In November, AMD unveiled the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, leveraging AMD’s second-generation 3D V-Cache technology to boost gaming performance in CPU-intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077, among others. Amid anticipation that both AMD and Nvidia will unveil new GPUs at CES, Intel launched its Battlemage graphics card lineup, commencing with the Arc B580 priced at $249. Positioned for gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, the Arc B580 is squaring off against Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4060 and AMD’s Radeon RX 7600 in the budget segment of the GPU market.

A rumor circulating on Board Channel (a Chinese forum site) suggests that AMD could prioritize mid-tier GPU market segments. This rumor, reported by VideoCardz and attributed to a user named Expert No.1, indicates that while AMD will introduce the Radeon RX 9000 series at CES 2025 on January 6, the high-end model, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, might not be released immediately. Instead, it is speculated that AMD will unveil its own Radeon RX 9070 XT in January, but partners’ add-in board (AIB) versions may not become available until later due to uncertainty about the timing of AMD’s sales strategy for the Radeon RX 9000 series in China. However, Expert No.1 also mentions that some AIB partners are expected to ship their versions of the Radeon RX 9070 XT in February following the Chinese New Year, which starts on January 29.

AMD May Stagger the Release of Radeon RX 9000 GPUs

Moreover, Expert No.1 has stated that further models in the Radeon RX 9000 series of GPUs are anticipated to appear in stores by March; however, the specific models have yet to be disclosed. Nonetheless, it’s predicted that the entire Radeon RX 9000 series will incorporate advanced features like FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR4), which could leverage AI-driven upscaling and frame generation akin to Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). It remains uncertain how FSR4 will stack up against DLSS.

As AMD gears up for 2025 with their anticipated Radeon RX 9000 series of graphics processors, along with possible Ryzen 9000 CPUs, they are aiming to kick off the new year on a strong note. It remains to be seen how the Radeon RX 9070 XT and other AMD GPUs will attract customers.
