In conjunction with AMD’s 2024 Q3 earnings announcement held on October 29, 2024, the company’s CEO Lisa Su said, “In preparation for the transition to the next generation Radeon GPU based on our RDNA 4 architecture, “Segment sales decreased year-over-year. We plan to launch the first RDNA 4 GPU in early 2025,” he said, officially addressing RDNA 4’s release date for the first time.

According to CEO Su, RDNA 4 has significantly improved gaming performance and ray tracing performance, and new AI functions will be added, but details have not yet been disclosed.


According to preliminary information, the first GPU equipped with RDNA 4 is expected to be the “Radeon RX 8000 series”. alreadyBenchmark scores believed to be from the Radeon RX 8000 seriesis posted on GeekbenchtopicHowever, this score is lower than the NVIDIA GTX 1650 released in 2019, so it is likely that there must have been some mistake during the benchmark. You can see that other specs include 16GB of VRAM.

In the past, technology media Tom’s Hardware was quoted by Jack Huynh, AMD’s senior vice president.According to what I heardRDNA 4 is not targeting a niche high-end market, but is being developed to target the mainstream and capture a share of the game graphics market.

In addition, Mr. Finn said, “AMD’s high-end GPUs are not well understood by users to the point where they are adopted over NVIDIA,” and “By expanding AMD’s share of the low-end GPU market, we will “Developers will optimize their games for AMD chips, creating a solid foundation to compete with NVIDIA in the high-end GPU market.”

AMD’s sales for the third quarter of 2024 will be 6.8 billion dollars (approximately 1.4 trillion yen), an increase of 17% from the previous fiscal year, and net income will be 771 million dollars (approximately 120 billion yen), an increase of 191% from the previous fiscal year. yen). Looking at each division, the data center division, which accounts for half of net income, did well, increasing by about 25% year on year, but the gaming division, which includes GPUs for game consoles, did poorly, down by about 84%.

“AMD’s consumer business typically performs best in the second half of the year,” Su said. “With the combination of our existing Ryzen models and the upcoming X3D chips, I think we can expect a stronger performance than in the second half of a typical year.” ” he said.

In addition, the large-scale trade fair CES 2025 (held from January 7th to 10th) is scheduled for “early 2025” as CEO Sue calls it. Rival NVIDIA has already announced that CEO Jensen Huang will give a keynote speech at CES 2025.declarationIt is expected that the next generation GPU of the RTX series will be announced.
