Editorial overview

AMD's mainstream RDNA 4 — 32 CU Navi 48 on TSMC N4P, 16 GB GDDR6, 320 GB/s bandwidth, 160 W. Launched June 5, 2025 at $299 (8 GB) / $349 (16 GB).

This is a sourced product profile with editorial judgments. Specdex has not tested this device in an in-house lab.

Reasons to consider it

  • 16 GB GDDR6 variant future-proofs against VRAM-hungry games
  • 32 CU RDNA 4 with DisplayPort 2.1a + PCIe 5.0
  • Strong 1440p value at $349 (16 GB) / $299 (8 GB)

Tradeoffs to check

  • 192-bit memory bus narrower than RX 9070 series
  • 8 GB variant struggles in modern AAA at 1440p
  • Ray tracing still trails NVIDIA at the same price tier
