AMD is preparing to step up the gear in the graphics card race. Working on RDNA 4 after the RDNA 3 architecture, AMD will develop the Radeon RX 8000 series with this architecture. The first information about the new generation graphics cards, which are expected to offer improved efficiency and performance, has also emerged.
What will AMD’s RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 8000 series offer?
AMD sent updates with the new generation RDNA 4 graphics architecture codenamed “GFX12” for Linux. It was stated that these packages are called “GFX1200” and “GFX1201” in Linux. These code names seem to represent the first Radeon RX 8000 series graphics cards built with RDNA 4 architecture.
Details about RDNA 4’s new graphics features are unclear for now. However, the naming scheme follows AMD’s previous steps. The code names “GFX10” were used for RDNA 1, “GFX10.2” for RDNA2, and “GFX11” for RDNA 3. This means that GFX12 will be the fourth version of the RDNA architecture.
In the update, AMD states that the new GFX12 will work the same as the GFX11. This means that the details will be kept secret until the company launches RDNA 4-based products. However, sharing GFX12 in open source drivers may be a sign that RX 8000 models are being developed.
The date of distribution of the updates has not been shared, which creates doubt about when the new generation graphics cards will be offered. Like previous generations, RDNA 4 will offer new graphics features and performance improvements.
