Rumour claims AMD will skip high-end GPU market with RDNA 4

AMD hasn't finished rolling out its RDNA 3 graphics cards yet but rumours about RDNA 4 are already starting to do the rounds. According to reports over the last week, unlike previous generations, AMD may not be planning a ‘high-end' GPU for its next-gen RDNA architecture. 

Of the many users claiming that AMD won't have any high-end Navi 4x GPUs, Kepler_L2 is probably the most trustworthy. According to the leaker, RDNA 4 (Navi 4) may follow in the footsteps of the original Navi GPUs, which topped out at the RX 5700 series, rather than pushing into high-end GPU territory.

Navi4 lineup will not have any high-end GPUs

Think of it like RDNA1 or Polaris generation.

As noted by VideoCardz, Kepler_L2 isn't the only one claiming that the red team isn't planning any high-end Navi 4x GPUs. Several other leakers have made the same claim, but it is unclear if they were all going off of the same source, or have independent knowledge of the situation.

It is also rumoured that we may see refreshed RDNA 3 GPUs as part of the RX 8000 series and some anticipate that AMD will integrate 3D V-Cache with desktop GPUs at some point in the future.

KitGuru says: If AMD drops high-end GPUs, then our concern would be giving Nvidia free rein to continue pushing up graphics card prices. The last couple of generations have already seen prices reach uncomfortable levels for most consumers.
