We are on dates in which, with the CES 2025 Budding, we’re all waiting for you so much NVIDIA as amd announce and launch their new generation of graphics cards on the market. All the rumors indicate that CES will be the stage for the presentation of NVIDIA’s RTX 50, with its launch at the end of the month, but it seems that for the new thing from AMD we will still have to wait a little longer.
But hey, you already know how this is and the fact that they arrive on the market a little later does not mean that Lisa Su’s people are not going to choose the stage of the CES in Las Vegas for their official presentation, at which time we will finally clear up doubts and We will know all the details of the new generation of AMD graphics. In the meantime, everything is speculation… unfortunately even its release window.
AMD will not compete in high-end graphics
This is something we already knew. The new generation of AMD graphics cards, called Radeon RX 9000 Series, will debut with the Radeon RX 9700 and 9700 XT that would arrive at the end of January along with the NVIDIA RTX 50, but the rest of the devices in this family will be the ones that will wait until March. Anyway, you see, a Radeon RX 9700 will not be high-end just because of its name, and AMD already warned months ago that it was going to stop trying to compete in the high-end.
This new generation will basically have two RDNA 4 architecture chips, the Navi 48 (the “big one”) and the Navi 44 (the “small one”). The Navi 48 will power the RX 9700 Series, which will be the graphics cards that are expected to be the most powerful of this generation where we will not find, at least for now, RX 9800 or 9900 models. These graphics cards would compete with NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 , leaving the RTX 5080 and 5090 alone at the head of the high range.
For its part, the Navi 44 chip will be in charge of servicing the models more oriented to the mid-range and entry range, such as the supposed RX 9600 that would compete with the NVIDIA RTX 5060, which in the end are the ones that sell the most always, even if only because of its price range. Beyond all this, we cannot tell you anything for now except that what is expected is that these latest AMD graphics cards will be around 300 euros, and since they are not going to compete in the high-end against NVIDIA, what we all hope is that The prices of its mid-range are quite good, since AMD’s hopes are to take market share from NVIDIA precisely in this segment.
In any case, there are only a few days left until CES kicks off and both AMD and NVIDIA clear up all our doubts, so we will be attentive to tell you everything related to these new generations of graphics, both on the from AMD as well as from NVIDIA, but without forgetting Intel, which seems to be quite convinced of the quality of its new generation as well.
