AMD lagged behind its competitor Nvidia in the RDNA 3 graphics core architecture currently in use and could not produce a competitor card to the RTX 4090, at least for now. However, it is claimed that AMD will not include a high-end configuration in the future RDNA 4 “Navi 4X” series GPU cores.RDNA 4 architecture may not have high-end GPU
Although he was right in his previous claims, it is useful to approach this claim of @Kepler_L2 with suspicion. According to the information provided by the source, there will be no chips in the high-end segment of the Navi 4X GPU series, which will use AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics architecture. The series is said to be similar to the 1st generation RDNA GPUs that have the Navi 10 SKU but lack a true high-end SKU for the enthusiast or ultra-enthusiast segment, such as the Navi 21 and Navi 31 chips.
But there is actually another interesting possibility to consider. As it is known, AMD is very confident in the chiplet design. So, given AMD’s reliance on MCM (Multi-Chip Module) technologies, instead of making one big monolithic die, the company is likely to save on production costs and also achieve better throughput by combining two midrange dies. While this is just a rumor, AMD is already implementing an MCM solution for its MCDs (Memory Complex Die), so porting it to GCDs (Graphics Complex Die) would be the next logical step. However, this is just a rumor for now.
You can read about the MCD and GCD concepts we mentioned, what they are and what they do, from our content here.
Official information says otherwise.
On the other hand, official statements from AMD show us that RDNA 4 GPUs will come with higher performance than existing solutions. Rick Bergman, Vice President of the Computer and Graphics Business Group at AMD, said: “GPUs currently used in computers are evolving steadily from RDNA 1 to RDNA 2 and RDNA 3, and RDNA 4 with even higher performance in the near future. We promise to evolve into . ”So the absence of a high-end Navi 4X GPU doesn’t mean we won’t see faster graphics cards from the Radeon team in the future. The next-generation AMD Radeon GPU series based on the RDNA 4 architecture is expected to be available by 2024 with a new and improved processing process.
