If true, it would rival Nvidia’s forthcoming RTX 5090. However, industry speculation suggests the card is more likely to be intended for enterprise and data centre applications than the gaming market.

The unverified claim originates from the Chinese tech forum Chiphell and should be approached with caution.

According to reports, AMD’s high-end RDNA 4 GPU could launch in the first half of 2025, though its exact memory capacity has yet to be determined. If the 32 GB figure proves accurate, it would match the expected VRAM of Nvidia’s next-generation flagship GPU.

However, AMD likely wants the cards in workstations and data centres, which require significantly more memory. For example, AMD’s Radeon Pro W7900 has 48GB of GDDR6 memory, while the Instinct MI300X accelerates workloads with 192GB of HBM3.

AMD has previously indicated that it does not intend to directly compete with Nvidia’s top-tier gaming GPUs in the current generation. The company has stated that its Radeon RX 9000 series will prioritise mid-range and lower-end products rather than challenging Nvidia’s high-end RTX 5000 series. This strategy aims to expand AMD’s overall market share rather than engage in a direct battle for the most powerful consumer GPU.

At CES last month, AMD introduced the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 GPUs. While the company withheld detailed specifications, it confirmed that the RDNA 4 architecture utilises TSMC’s 4nm process node. The architecture also promises optimised compute units, improved ray tracing performance per compute unit, enhanced AI processing capabilities, and better media encoding quality.

Recent reports suggest AMD could significantly undercut Nvidia in the mid-range GPU segment. The Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to launch at $599 MSRP, which is $150 less than the $749 RTX 5070 Ti. The RX 9070 is anticipated to be priced below Nvidia’s $549 RTX 5070.
