No high-end GPUs from AMD to compete with big NVIDIA

If so, that’s bad news. In effect, AMD would not provide large GPUs to compete with the largest graphics cards from NVIDIA. Thus, the brand with the chameleon would retain its leading position in the market for very large mainstream performances.

Rumors Suggest AMD May Have Canceled Its High-End Navi 41/42 RDNA3 GPUs

Indeed, a new rumor coming from Kepler_L2 on Tweeter surfaced suggesting that on map generation AMD Radeon RX 8000 (RDNA 4 architecture) so there would be no big GPU. Other sources have indicated that this development may impact two specific GPUs that are Navi 41 et Navi 42. Interestingly, the Navi 41 GPU was first mentioned three years ago, but now it seems that Lisa Su’s company has decided to cancel its development.

Instead, AMD could focus on the mid-range segment with the introduction of a new successor to the RDNA3 architecture. The move would take AMD back to its roots when the company prioritized the midrange segment with its RDNA1/Polaris architecture.

On the other hand, let’s remember all the same that there are currently rumors of an update of the Radeon RX 7000 cards with 3D V-Cache technology. We’ve also seen rumors of an RDNA 3.5 architecture before, but we’re not sure if it’s that refresh with the new cache system or the Ryzen 8000 iGPUs. expand in the field of APUs with new generations that will probably be in the next laptops, but also the next home consoles.

The only official information we have is that AMD claimed to maintain “sustainable performance leadership” while discussing its RDNA4 architecture:

In short, the real next generation of AMD graphics cards might not have big high-end GPUs. At the same time, there is talk of a refresh of current GPUs with 3D V-Cache as we have seen on processors.
