Rumours have it that AMD’s next generation RDNA4 GPU architecture will feature no less than four SKUs. Moreover, it seems that the alleged Radeon 8000 Series GPUs will be aimed towards the mid-range to high-eng segment, rather than the enthusiast segment.
It’s not a secret that the strategy with AMD and its Radeon division isn’t necessarily to go toe-to-toe with rival NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line offering. Case in point, its top-tier RDNA3 GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, was designed to take on the RTX 4080, while the slightly less powerful 7900 XT is supposed to be the alternative to the RTX 4070 Ti.

According to popular leakster Kepler_L2, AMD’s RDNA4-powered Radeon 8000 Series will feature three memory configurations: 256-bit and 20Gbps, 256-bit and 18 Gbps, and 192-bit and 19 Gbps. The first set of numbers refers to the memory bus width of the GPU, while the second set refers to the frequency of the graphics memory. As a point of reference, the 7900 XTX has a 384-bit memory bus and a 20 Gbps frequency.
As for the four Navi 4x variants, those GPUs are reportedly R24D-E6 and R24D-E8, the former supposedly being the Navi 48 XT, followed by the R25-P4 and R25-P8, with the P4 variant being the Navi 44 XT SKU.
What is unknown at this point is what AMD’s naming convention for its RDNA4 GPUs are going to be. As it stands, earlier reports point to the red CPU and GPU maker having cancelled the Navi 41, which could have been a variation of the Radeon RX 8900. At this stage, it’s all just speculation, so as always, take it with a grain of salt.
