AMD has just presented its first graphics cards that implement RDNA 4 microarchitecture. He told us about them during the 2025 CES, but at that time he only announced a few details about his architecture. THE RADEON RX 9000 They are destined to measure from you to you with the GeForce RTX 50 of Nvidia, so presumably they will not have it easy. Whatever the new AMD graphics cards come full of novelties.
His best baza a priori is his microarchitecture. And, as we are about to verify, RDNA 4 proposes a lot of refinements, so, on paper, it should significant clearly to the Radeon Rx 7000 With microarchitecture Rdna 3. In addition, the Rx 9000 RADEON proposes the technology of reconstruction of the image Fidelityfx Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), which, on paper, is able to give us a cadence of images per second and a higher level of detail than FSR 3.
Rdna 4: This is the authentic heart of the Radeon Rx 9000
The slide that we publish under these lines collects the main characteristics of the RDNA microarchitecture 4. The lithography used to manufacture the RADEON RX 9000 GPU uses a 4 Nm integration technology, presumably from TSMC. However, these chips give us many more innovations. And AMD promises that the calculation units of these GPU have been deeply redesigned, that their performance when facing the Ray layout It is higher, and that, in addition, they rely on the artificial intelligence (AI).

AMD will continue in these graphics cards the same path as NVIDIA: it will address the reconstruction of the image using the latest generation algorithms. On the other hand, Radeon RX 9000 have SECOND GENERATION ACCELERATORSThird generation ray layouts and a second generation video signal delivery engine. An important detail: according to AMD the average performance of the calculation unit with Microarchitecture RDNA 4 is 40% higher than that of RDNA 3 solutions.
The next slide clearly reflects that much of the improvements introduced by AMD engineers seeks to increase the performance of the new GPUs when they must deal with AI algorithms to face the reconstruction of the image. AMD promises that the RDNA 4 duplication of RDNA 3 in FP16 operations; It quadruples in int8 and when working with FP16 matrices with many zero values (this circumstance is known as ‘sparsity’), and multiplies it by eight when operating with int8 matrices with sparsity. On paper is not but that nothing wrong.
We are now with the reconstruction of the image through ia. FSR 4 technology is only compatible with the new RADEON RX 9000 graphics cards because the presence in the GPU of Hardware resources introduced by AMD in these chips. Be that as theory this technology offers us a cadence of images per second higher, a higher level of detail and a lower latency.
In addition, FSR 4 uses the same application programming interface (API) as FSR 3.1, so developers who have worked with this last tool should have no problem when making the leap to the new technology developed by AMD. A curious note: in the next slide we can see that this company promises that its technology is prepared to face the neural rendering that will arrive in the future. Sounds good. We’ll see what it consists of when the time comes.
The next slide collects the main specifications of the RADEON RX 9070. This graphics card, the most “modest” of the two that the Radeon RX 9000 family today, incorporates, incorporates 56 calculation units16 GB of GDDR6 VRM, the GPU works at a maximum clock frequency of 2,520 MHz and has an average consumption of 220 watts.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT is a bit more ambitious than the model in which we just inquired. It proposes 64 calculation units, 16 GB of GDDR6 type VRM, the GPU works at a maximum clock frequency of 2,970 MHz and has an average consumption of 304 watts. It will be interesting to see how it yields to the GEFORCE RTX 5070 TI of Nvidia.
There are the prices of Radeon RX 9000. RX 9070 XT will cost $ 599 (about 575 euros). And to get a RADEON RX 9070 we will have to pay $ 549 (Approximately 527 euros). AMD’s plan is that these two graphic solutions compete from you to you with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 of Nvidia.
One last note to conclude: the two graphics cards with which the Rx 9000 AMD family is born will be available from next March 6.
