More and more companies are joining in to offer a wide variety of products that do not have only one market as their main focus, but can be used for very different purposes. For example, we have seen how hardware that was initially designed for gaming has achieved have a great reception among AI enthusiasts due to the great generative power that these components allow to achieve, and apparently AMD has prepared various pieces of specialized hardware for both cases for next year.
Everything we know about AMD and its news
Whether a company manages to have a successful presentation depends exclusively on whether the products they are going to show manage to capture the attention of users, and this time AMD has a series of really important new features, below we explain everything we know about them.
Graphics cards
One of the great news that we have learned in the last few hours about AMD’s plans is quite important, since in addition to having practically leaked that the brand’s next graphics cards would use RDNA 4, there are also several additional details about these new models that are really interesting. And in this case the brand would have planned to make a generational leap, thus avoiding the 8000 series (which would be the next ones that should be released) to end up offering the new RX 9000, making a change in the way they would be named. to these graphs.
According to rumors and leaks, amd will change the way of indicating the generation of graphics as well as the model itself, going from being, for example, what we have seen so far in other models such as the RX 7800 XT to one more similar to what NVIDIA would have in which the model is indicates in the last two numbers, as indicated by the leaks that ensure that the most powerful graph of the next generation will be the Radeon RX 9070 XT.
The graphics RX9000 As we have mentioned, they will be based on the new architecture RDNA 4 and they will have two SKUs, the high-end Navi 48 and the Navi 44, which will represent a much more basic range, although all GPUs of this type will be aimed at the general segment and will have a much more competitive price compared to all the products that they currently have, and that they will launch the competition in the future.
On the other hand, the company would also plan to present dedicated variants for laptops while the Strix Halo APUs will adopt RDNA 3.5.
Processors
When we talk about AMD we cannot leave aside the processors they manufacture, since they manage to dominate a fairly important part of the sector such as video game hardware, not only within PC configurations but also in consoles. In this aspect, we know well what new features they will present during the CES since it is practically an open secret that their main objective will be to show the other variants of the family. Ryzen 9000 X3Dthat is, the two new additions that these series will have, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D 16 cores and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D 12 cores.
These models will not have any type of technical specification lower than previous generations, there have been some in which we could see how clock speed was sacrificed to make the processors more stable, but this will not be the case and they will have one that will be within on par with the rest of the Ryzen 9000X models currently on the market.
In addition to this, it should also be noted that the company is looking for a way to dominate the portable device sector, something that we know from its advances in processors created, for example, for portable consoles. For this they would be planning to present the new Ryzen AI Max APUs “Strix Halo” along with the new generation CPUs of the Fire “Zen 5 HX” range, while it would also be logical for them to present the Ryzen Z2 line of SoCs for portable devices.
Technologies
Finally, one of the great novelties that the company would be preparing has to do with its technology aimed at offering a better FPS rate in games, the FSR rescaling that was the first to include the generation of frames and that would now have a large number of additional implementations with its fourth version. In this case AMD has already announced the fourth version of this technology, the FSR 4and we know some of the new features it will include, the most important being the fact that it will use machine learning to improve image quality and frame generation.
