Multiple industry insiders say that AMD will not launch a high-end RDNA 4 GPU. Only SKUs featuring the mid-range Navi 43 and Navi 44 GPUs will be available. https://www.notebookcheck.net/New-rumour-says-AMD-has-scrapped-high-end-RDNA-4-based-Radeon-RX-8000-graphics-cards-altogether.738668.0.html
If true horrendous news and RIP AMD's consumer GPU division. if Intel can deliver competitive Battlemage GPU's next year, they will will rapidly overtake AMD. AMD has already lost market hare to Intel despite Alchemists's woes. Intel is getting it's act together on drivers and cards like A770/750 are actually pretty decent options now at great prices.
I don't even believe there will be an RNDA5 release.
How is this RIP? The only thing this ends up screwing is consumers who are willing to shell out $999+ on a gpu. And as far as I'm concerned, I welcome this segment/userbase getting shafted over. Hope RTX 5090 costs 5k for them. Stop being poor, amirite bros?
Wish i had the coding and driver fabrication skills i need to fabricate my own card I've got multiple generations of GPUs in my cabinet if I could take those raw components and make a decent custom solution you could bet your b@llz it'd be done already lol i built a killer PC for the 30series and my cue came up early @ EVGA and after I couldn't get another so i said fucket and waited for the 40series but do to bungholes paying scalpers insane prices Nvidia figured they could just rip people off well i may just build my own solution from previous generations 😁 lmao and hopefully it'll out perform what's currently on the market and maybe even the coming gen as well
