• AMD introduced its CES 2025 occasion will occur on Monday January 6
• Jack Huynh, SVP of Computing and Graphics, will helm the press occasion
• Huynh dropped a heavy trace on X that we’ll see RDNA 4 graphics playing cards

AMD has revealed when its press occasion is occurring at CES 2025, and dropped a heavy trace that we’ll certainly see RDNA 4 desktop graphics playing cards on the present.

Notably, the occasion, which is scheduled for Monday January 6, 2025, at 11am PT (2pm EST, 7pm within the UK), shouldn’t be known as a keynote. Additionally, quite than being delivered by CEO Lisa Su, it’s Jack Huynh, SVP and GM, Computing and Graphics at AMD, who shall be presenting Staff Purple’s newest goodies.

The official AMD internet web page for the occasion simply went stay (as VideoCardz seen), however that doesn’t give us something past the date, and the teaser that we’ll get to “hear how AMD is increasing its management throughout PCs and gaming.”

Nevertheless, in a put up on X, Huynh particularly mentions AMD’s “subsequent era of innovation throughout gaming” which certainly refers back to the agency’s RDNA 4 GPUs, and sure new APUs too.

As we’ve heard earlier than, RDNA 4 GPUs are rumored for CES 2025, in addition to a bunch of Ryzen processors that’ll be of curiosity to players – together with Strix Halo laptop computer APUs and Ryzen Z2 flavors for handhelds.

On high of that, we should always see different cell APUs and the Ryzen 9950X3D plus 9900X3D processors, and extra apart from. It’s going to be an occasion jam-packed with product launches if the grapevine is appropriate.

Evaluation: Thrilling instances, particularly if newest RDNA 4 rumors are proper

Earlier this 12 months, the hope was very a lot that AMD would push out new RDNA 4 graphics playing cards – which can purportedly solely land within the mid-range this time round, with no challenger for Nvidia’s next-gen flagship – late in 2024.

Clearly that didn’t occur, and as famous, rumors have been saying for a while now that we’ll see these graphics playing cards at CES 2025. If there’s one key piece of AMD’s subsequent era of gaming, it’s RDNA 4, so Huynh’s remark just about solidifies all of the proof across the launch of what could possibly be the RX 8800 XT (and sure a accomplice GPU, such because the 8700 XT maybe).

In principle, the 8800 XT might transform an enormous leap in ray tracing efficiency for AMD – if recent hypothesis is true – and a superb improve for rasterized (non-ray tracing) body charges, too. As ever, so much will journey on the value tag Staff Purple pins on the GPU, and no matter else RDNA 4 might need to supply.
