But is this possible in the current market?
According to rumors from last year, the new generation of AMD video cards will not have real flagship products. According to fresh rumors from insider Moore's Law Is Dead, this is true, but perhaps it's not so bad.
The source says that AMD was working on a very complex multi-chip flagship GPU based on the RDNA 4 architecture, but its development was canceled for a number of reasons. And new rumors say that AMD will not have a truly flagship new generation video card, but will have a very strong mid-budget solution. It is reported that we are talking about a card at the level of RTX 4080 and RX 7900 XTX, but for 400–600 dollars!
Even at $600, this would be a very worthy offer. After all, this is the same as if Nvidia releases the RTX 5070 for $600 in the new generation, which will match the RTX 4080 in performance. Now the gap between the RTX 4070 and the RTX 4080 is about one and a half times, and at the start of sales the difference in price was exactly twofold.
If AMD can offer something equally productive for $500 or even $400, it will be unprecedented generosity.
Recall that the RX 5000 line also did not have truly flagship video cards, but then AMD also did not offer anything that would have the same power-to-price ratio as what the source says.
You need to understand that for now these are rumors and even the very fact of abandoning the flagship solution — This is a rumor that does not yet have many different reliable sources.
As for Moore's Law Is Dead, he is quite informed. He announced the announcement dates of the Radeon RX 7800 and Radeon RX 7700 in advance, talked about iGPU performance in Intel Meteor Lake processors and much more.
