Discussion – RDNA 5 / UDNA (CDNA Next) speculation

Rly? What is that? Driven By Radeon. meaning RDNA3

Oh yeah, RDNA3 too I guess.

why I am hopeful of a shorter cadence this time

Shorter cadence is only for things that make money. I.e. GPGPU.

As it is AMD has no 4080 competitor. I find it untenable that there won’t be a 4080 / 5070 ti competitor until 2027

Not AMD’s problem.

There are already 3 products on 3nm: zen 5c server chip, instinct chips, strix halo

Turin-D yes, MI350X is H2 next year and halo is niche.

Should be easy to do a die shrink from 4nm to 3nm & also create a 5070 ti competitor for enthusiasts

You’re not getting a shrink either. It’s gfx12 straight to gfx13. Pure IP focus, they’re ignoring product-level opportunities completely.
Only gfx IP itself matters since it goes into APUs.
