AMD was planning to withdraw from the high-end GPU market, and the Radeon RX 8900 XTX was canceled. The Navi 41, the primary GPU behind the RX 8900 XTX, is no longer in production.
RDNA 4 will introduce the RX 8800 XT as the top-end SKU, priced at around $500. It will be accompanied by the RX 8700 XT, 8600 XT, and perhaps their non-XT variants and an entry-level 500-class graphics card.
The fastest RDNA 4 GPU is expected to be faster than the Radeon RX 7900 XT, but it is unclear whether it can beat the RTX 4080 Super. The 7900 XT performs decently in rasterization but poorly in ray tracing. A beefed-up Super variant might be too much for 800-class Radeon.
The Radeon RX 8800 XT will be a midrange graphics card, succeeding the RX 7800 XT, while getting close to or even beating the 7900 XT. It will leverage the Navi 43 GPU with roughly 64 Compute Units and 4,096 stream processors. The price and release dates will depend on what NVIDIA has to offer at the time.
If AMD can popularize FSR 3, then it will still be able to compete with NVIDIA across all major price points but the priceiest. The RX 7800 XT is doing well, and that is where Team Radeon truly shines.
