RDNA 4: Mid Range SAVIOR or DOOMED? Specs & Pricing Strategy

Today we have some HUGE leaks for RDNA 4, including a a list of RX 8000 SKUs, hardware specs and what we've heard on AMD's pricing strategy for the next gen Radeon RDNA 4 GPUs. Join us as we examine the latest leaks on RDNA 4, breaking down the leaked SKUs that will make up the stack for RDNA 4 - which again we're expecting NOT to have a flagship high end graphics card, and instead target the mid range.

We also have some info on the expected RDNA 4 performance, as well as the MSRP price / pricing strategy that AMD may target, considering that it we expect it to target the mid range / low end / budget segment of the PC gaming GPU market.

Who wanna bet AMD will price them as high as humanely possible, some if not all cards too high and then drop prices within 2 months from launch?

If 8800 XT can perform like a 4070 Ti Super, and only cost $500, that will push the worth of many cards down. Sounds good to me!

[svenweyers]

Launching an 8GB gpu at the end of 2024 or beginning of 2025 should be sub 150$. Otherwise it should be DOA. There are already a ton of games that require more than 8GB at settings other than low. And we are starting to see games that go over 8GB on low. So AMD better rethinks launching anything with 8GB unless it is really cheap.

I really, really hope to not see a 8600 with 8gb of ram

[rmartin]

All this speculation seems kind of pointless, if it is known to be 64CU, just take a 7800xt make it 20-30% faster and you have the performance. Without massive clock increases we are looking at about 4070ti to best case 4070ti super performance.
Anything above $500 and this card will be a failure.

I'm not so sure on 'aggressive' pricing. New pc parts have not dropped to pre pandemic norms, even adding in high inflation rates. The overall pricing is still higher than expected and a lot of this is laid at the door of AI, but I think there's more to it than that. My feeling is that nVidia and AMD 'normalised' the market to pay more for less (My RX6800XT is still sold at $460 and I only paid $520 nearly two years ago). At this point tech seems to be outpacing the manufacturing due to costs, and it feels like we're heading back to the great ol' days of Intel drip feeding upgrades for over a decade. There still seems to be very little competition in GPUs as nVidia move away from gamers and into AI, leaving a space for AMD to grow, but what's the incentive to be 'aggressive'? I think this is marketing setting expectations to dupe people into thinking we getting a good deal.

It is said "Do not go to Redgaming tech for news, for his sources say both yes and no" 😂

[Boorock]

OK but we do need "efficiency" in 8000 series / RDNA 4 cards.
40W+ @ "video playback" YouTube, Netflix/VLC etc. (all models inc. RX 6800 & Up) is RIDICULUS... Did u hear that AMD ? 🤔

[vicentek]

AMD has brass balls if they're launching an 8gb vram card almost at the end of 2024 ☠️

[jumpman]

It's a stopgap generation. Don't expect magic from this. I believe the whole RDNA4 stack will work like a refresh rather than a new gen.

[DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

With Lossless scaling Im hoping to hold on to my 7900xtx for about another 4 years lol

[nimbulan]

I find it extremely hard to believe that RDNA4 will be able to match the 7900 XT much less the XTX. It only has 2.5% more memory bandwidth than the 7800 XT with the same infinity cache size! It doesn't matter how much higher the core clocks are if there isn't enough memory bandwidth to feed those cores.

[predabot__]

WHO... the hell... tries to sell an 8GB card in 2025?! Jesus Christ AMD... put 12GB on the small one, or it will be completely pointless. (I'd say 16, but with a 128-bit bus I guess it just doesn't have the bandwidth.)

[traildusterbt]

No vram increase on any card? So RDNA 4 cards will be vram limited in a year or two, absolutely no headroom.

[danburke]

Does AMD have loads of stock of 7900xt/gre 7800xt? If so its doomed from the start.
Why? 8800xt raster will be at a head of all these card. Plus RT 4070super.
Sadly so many card will not be dropping in price, so the 8800xt will be over priced.
Its a small card, low power, cheap and if the card is over 500 by much its dead.

[helloweener]

From all the leaks I just expect a card that is a little bit faster than the 7900 GRE and can do much better ray Traycing
for the price between a 7800 XT and a 7900 GRE.
If I could get this for around 550 EUR, this would be my choice.

Would be awesome if it was really $500 which means in reality you can get some offers under 500 EUR.

Black Friday and Cyper Week are coming and some leaks suggest that the cards might come end of October.
This would be a very positive surprise getting a 8800 XT for like 450 EUR or so on Black Friday.

[thePrisioner]

if the 7800xt didn’t cause mass adoption of AMD at <$500 price point why would anyone think 8800xt would get a better reception at $500? the only way AMD will sell any more 8800xt’s than 7800xt’s is if NVIDA went totally stupid on 5070 pricing.

[evilsatorii]

even if it can perform at same level like RTX 5080 in theory I feel like they will manage to make it somewhat worse and with worse drivers, so it will end up at same level like RTX 5070 at best and 5070 that will be like 500-600 dolars card, so not really worth price saving by buying 8800 XT

[ThePgR]

I just want a decent bump in performance in the 200-250$ price range

[AgileSnowWeasel]

I would expect 32MB per 128-bits of active memory bus. 64MB for 256-bit, 48MB for 192-bit, 32MB for 128-bit in N44.

(If they one day in the future do a 96-bit or 64-bit budget N44 SKU ever expect to see a 24MB or 16MB cache. However I guess N44 could be different and be 48MB for 128-bit (36MB for 96-bit, 24MB for 64-bit))
