The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as CES 2025 approaches, promising a spectacular showdown between industry giants AMD and NVIDIA. AMD, in particular, is expected to make a significant splash with the full unveiling of its next-generation RDNA 4 GPU architecture. This isn’t just any incremental upgrade; RDNA 4 represents AMD’s final architecture before the monumental shift to the unified UDNA architecture, a foundation for future GPUs and APUs.
According to reliable leaker Moore’s Law is Dead, sources suggest we can expect a complete reveal of RDNA 4 at CES 2025, with at least one Radeon RX 8000 series graphics card launching shortly afterward in late January. While the anticipation is high, the same source has not confirmed whether AMD’s advanced FSR 4 upscaling technology will be ready for a simultaneous release alongside RDNA 4. This uncertainty adds a layer of intrigue to the already electrifying event.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA is preparing to counter with its highly anticipated GeForce RTX 50 series, codenamed “Blackwell.” The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 is poised to dominate the ultra-enthusiast market, almost certainly accompanied by the next iteration of DLSS upscaling technology, DLSS 4. This sets the stage for a fierce competition between AMD’s new RDNA 4 and NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, a battle that will likely define the high-end graphics landscape for years to come.
But AMD’s ambitions at CES 2025 extend far beyond just graphics cards. The company is also slated to launch its highly anticipated Strix Halo APU, promising a substantial leap in both CPU and GPU performance. Adding to the excitement, AMD is expected to unveil its new Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors, promising groundbreaking improvements in processing power.
The convergence of these cutting-edge technologies—RDNA 4, the Strix Halo APU, and the new Ryzen 9 processors—suggests AMD is preparing for an aggressive and all-encompassing assault on the market. January 2025 is shaping up to be a monumental month for technology enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone interested in the future of computing. The stage is set for an epic confrontation; the question is, who will emerge victorious in this high-stakes technological battle royale?
