New leaks suggest AMD's RDNA 4-based GPUs will launch in early 2025

New sources claim that AMD's RDNA 4-based graphics cards, originally scheduled to launch in late 2024, are behind schedule and are now expected to launch in 2025.

The news doesn't come completely out of nowhere. We previously reported on hardware leaker Kepler's claim that AMD wouldn't release its RDNA 4-based GPUs until CES 2025. However, conflicting rumors pointed to a late 2024 release.

More interesting than the news itself are the alleged reasons for the delay. Moore's Law is Dead revealed in a recent YouTube video exclusively from a reliable source that the RDNA 4 GPU lineup is being delayed because AMD is struggling to move its top-of-the-line RDNA 3-based GPUs, particularly those based on the Navi 31 are based on the RX 7900 and RX 7900 XTX.

AMD's RDNA 4 reportedly focuses on value for money, strong performance and power efficiency, and has its sights firmly set on the mid-range market. Nvidia, on the other hand, continues to focus on its next-generation RTX 5000 series and instead emphasizes high performance.
