AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs to Launch in Early 2025 Amid Gaming Revenue Decline

AMD confirms the release of its next-gen RDNA 4 graphics cards with enhanced ray tracing and AI features, despite a significant drop in gaming revenue.

AMD's gaming revenue fell by 69% year-over-year, largely due to declining console sales and anticipation for the RDNA 4 release.
The RDNA 4 GPUs will not compete with Nvidia's high-end models but will focus on the midrange market, promising better performance-per-dollar.
CEO Lisa Su highlighted that RDNA 4 will offer improved ray tracing and new AI capabilities, marking the company's strongest PC portfolio to date.
Speculation suggests AMD will unveil RDNA 4 at CES 2025, alongside other new products like Strix Halo APUs and Ryzen Z2 chips.
AMD's data center segment now accounts for over half of its total revenue, reflecting a strategic shift towards AI and server markets.
