Exploring the Future of Gaming Graphics: RDNA 4 Release, AMD Zen 5 Pricing, and the Nvidia RTX 5090 28GB
RDNA 4 Release Date
The gaming community eagerly anticipates the imminent release of RDNA 4, the fourth generation of AMD’s Radeon RX graphics cards. Although AMD has yet to announce a specific release date, industry insiders predict that RDNA 4 will hit the market in early 2024. With this upcoming release, AMD aims to compete more effectively with market leader Nvidia by delivering superior performance, power efficiency, and value.
AMD Zen 5 Pricing
In tandem with the upcoming RDNA 4 release, AMD also plans to launch its highly anticipated Zen 5 processors. Although official pricing details have not been disclosed, hardware enthusiasts have high hopes for affordability. The success of Zen 3 and Zen 4 processors, which provided tremendous performance at competitive prices, makes it likely that Zen 5 will continue this trend, offering an appealing option for budget-conscious gamers and PC builders.
Nvidia RTX 5090 28GB
Meanwhile, Nvidia is set to release the RTX 5090, the latest addition to its acclaimed RTX series. Featuring a generous 28GB of GDDR6X memory, the RTX 5090 aims to deliver even more stunning visuals and smooth gameplay, especially for 4K and high-refresh-rate gaming. Although pricing details are yet to be confirmed, it’s likely that the card will extend the RTX series’ reputation for being extremely expensive.
Comparative Analysis
As theRelease date for RDNA 4 edges closer, PC enthusiasts are eager to compare the performance of the new card with the Nvidia RTX 5090. Preliminary benchmark tests show that RDNA 4 offers a significant performance boost over its predecessor, RDNA 3, while remaining power-efficient. The RTX 5090, on the other hand, is expected to maintain Nvidia’s lead in raw performance but may consume more power and cost more due to its generous memory allocation.
Conclusion
With the impending release of RDNA 4 and Zen 5, AMD is determined to claw back market share from Nvidia. The upcoming battle between AMD and Nvidia promises to be intense, as both companies seek to deliver innovative graphics solutions to cater to the ever-growing demands of gamers and PC enthusiasts. The release of the RTX 5090 28GB by Nvidia will no doubt set the stage for an intriguing year in the world of gaming GPUs.
Stay tuned for further updates and announcements from AMD and Nvidia regarding their upcoming products. As always, make informed decisions when investing in gaming hardware by carefully considering performance, price, and power efficiency.

I think the Ryzen 3 naming could come back
But only if we get another core count increase
A 6 core 12 thread Ryzen 3 11400x would be awesome
Could be 175-200$ too
I personally don’t care if the 5090 only has 28gb for 3 reasons
1. It leaves room for a 5090ti with 32gb, and while it’s unlikely to see the light of day
It is possible
2. AMD isn’t competing in the high end this gen, so why would Nvidia give 32gb?
3. This still leaves room for a 20gb or 24gb 5080 and a 16gb or 20gb 5070
We already know the 5060 is gonna be screwed up because Nvidia is stupid, and didn’t give it enough bus width
But that has nothing to do with the 5090
It would be cool to see what we expect to be the 5060, to just be a 5050 and have 8gb
For sub 300$, while not great, it wouldn’t be terrible
But that too, is unlikely
Can confirm, having 16 cores has given me a big e-peen
well i used 1440p with my gtx 1070 was great when released, and still could play games now on it same resolution. Now wanted to upgrade to 4k so got a 4080 super, but no monitor yet for 4k 😀
Isn't hyerthreading only removed on certain skews of Lion Cove. Apparently, at higher power levels they keep hyperthreading on.
i feel like, if you own a 6700 xt, there isnt really a good upgrade path rn. 4070 super is only 12 gb and the other nvidia cards are way overpriced. And AMD is AMD, raytracing still sucks and id get 30 fps or something like that for paying double.. I can easily skip this gen and possibly next gen.
So intel tourn around is happening. Energy-efficient laptop check with lunar lake, data centers with Sierra forest. Coming… granite rapids, arrow lake, panther lake
I got a 3090 off ebay back in May of 20 fucking 21, remember that cost buddy, just because you can't afford high prices doesn't mean I can't I'm getting a 5090 one way or another as soon as possible….
This should be interesting…
I wouldn't be suprised if Nvidia release 5090 28GB and then release a 5080 Super or TI for 32GB…
“Removing Hyperthreading” could mean they are replacing it with something else that is technically distinct but seeks to achieve the same aims.
If you have a good Zen4 cpu it can run 6400 1:1. But a lot already have issues hitting 6200. If you decouple more you can do 8000 but performance is not that much better than 6000 it can even be worse depending on your timings. Bandwidth is limit by fclk that clock raises mb/s quite a bit. Rumors Say it will be 2400 for Zen5 while quite some Zen4 cpu's struggle with 2200 and higher. So that would help to boost bandwidth hopefully you can hit 2600+ with overclocking.
Zen4 certainly does not get 25% more bw when going from 6000 to 8000 without fclk oc you won't notice a lot. Even with they are like 6gb/s apart. Like 97 vs 102gb/s
3gr… for Graphics card… plus taxes… it seems I would rather buy a car.
For 90% of laptop owners who don't care much about maximum CPU performance but care about batery life, noise, weight and power efficiency, Lunar Lake may finally deliver. If it at least approaches power efficiency of AMD – it will be a leap forward for Intel given how far they were behind a few years ago. It is a question if they deliver on it but if they do I can see how it may become a very successful CPU. The power range it operates is also perfect for the vast majority of laptop holders includng corporate sector ($$$).
28Gb? I would have bet my arm it would have 25Gb
Are all these new NPU's in new and upcomming CPU generations backed by a general api or is it just wild west ?
Very dense, great episode!
1600 Watts Mining vs ROG QoL!
When the price comes down.. circa 2030, would be an ideal time to upgrade.
hey Tom, as always thanks for the great videos. Avid fan and ill join the Patreon asap. Question, Just saying, is an Intel comeback going to officially begin with Lunar Lake? Vs Amd Zen5? watching your vids ive had the impression that intel is climbing a steep competition mountain with Zen / Amd. Ie intel still has struggles on its horizon, ..but i sense that you now believe Lunar Lake is going to be a big worry for Amd zen5?
Should i upgrade my TI 89? 🤔
28 GB is a norious unlucky number from the relmes ogf cursed insytuction set set ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶
This will be the year of new monitor purchases from what I see
As far as Zen 5 goes, I'm expecting Strix Halo to target laptops in the $2500-$3000 range, although I'd love to be wrong. I expect Strix Point to be relatively inexpensive though, so if it's powerful enough to compete with the likes of the Series S I'd happily transition from console gaming to a mini PC with Strix Point and either SteamOS or ChimeraOS.
Are Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake both getting mobile and desktop cpus. Also, which is supposed to be more powerful.
I think the new Microsoft AI upscaling will leverage NPU.
