AMD's next-gen graphics cards rumored to be RX 9000-series

AMD's upcoming graphics cards are rumored to be named the RX 9000-series, instead of the expected RX 8000-series. Leakers have identified models like the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, which would surpass the current RX 7900 XTX. This naming shift marks a departure from AMD's previous RX 5000, 6000, and 7000-series. The new system aligns with AMD's Zen 5 CPUs, also labeled as 9000-series, simplifying product identification. Images of the RX 9070 XT have surfaced in AMD advertisements, showcasing a new cooler design. While performance details remain speculative, the new cards are expected to improve ray tracing capabilities significantly. Official announcements are anticipated at CES 2025.
