FULL STORY ======================================================================AMD announced its CES 2025 event will happen on Monday January 6 Jack Huynh, SVP of Computing and Graphics, will helm the press event Huynh dropped a heavy hint on X that well see RDNA 4 graphics cards

AMD has revealed when its press event is happening at CES 2025, and dropped a heavy hint that we will indeed see RDNA 4 desktop graphics cards at the show.

Notably, the event, which is scheduled for Monday January 6, 2025, at 11am PT (2pm EST, 7pm in the UK), is not referred to as a keynote. Also, rather than being delivered by CEO Lisa Su, its Jack Huynh, SVP and GM, Computing and Graphics at AMD, who will be presenting Team Reds latest goodies.

The official AMD web page for the event just went live (as VideoCardz noticed), but that doesnt give us anything beyond the date, and the teaser that well get to hear how AMD is expanding its leadership across PCs and gaming.

However, in a post on X, Huynh specifically mentions AMDs next generation of innovation across gaming which surely refers to the firms RDNA 4 GPUs, and likely new APUs too. Save the date Join us for the @AMD Press Event on

As weve heard before, RDNA 4 GPUs are rumored for CES 2025 , as well as a bunch of Ryzen processors thatll be of interest to gamers including Strix Halo laptop APUs and Ryzen Z2 flavors for handhelds.

On top of that, we should see other mobile APUs and the Ryzen 9950X3D plus 9900X3D processors, and more besides. Its going to be an event jam-packed
with product launches if the grapevine is correct. (Image credit: Future / John Loeffler) Analysis: Exciting times, especially if latest RDNA 4 rumors are right

Earlier this year, the hope was very much that AMD would push out new RDNA 4 graphics cards which will purportedly only land in the mid-range this time around, with no challenger for Nvidias next-gen flagship late in 2024.

Obviously that didnt happen, and as noted, rumors have been saying for some time now that well see these graphics cards at CES 2025. If theres one key piece of AMDs next generation of gaming, its RDNA 4, so Huynhs comment pretty much solidifies all the evidence around the launch of what could be the RX 8800 XT ( and likely a partner GPU , such as the 8700 XT perhaps).

In theory, the 8800 XT could turn out to be a big leap in ray tracing performance for AMD if fresh speculation is right and a good upgrade for rasterized (non-ray tracing) frame rates, too. As ever, a lot will ride on
the price tag Team Red pins on the GPU, and whatever else RDNA 4 might have
to offer. You might also like The best graphics card deals out there Top gaming PCs: great rigs for serious PC gaming Best PC games of 2024: must-play titles you don't want to miss
