AMD Shifts Focus: Next-Gen Radeon RX 8000 Targets Mid-Range Market

The tech giant AMD is all set to launch its upcoming Radeon RX 8000 series GPU but the recent leaks by the company have brought mixed emotions among PC enthusiasts. Although the newly planned lineup by AMD is ready to give four new GPUs, the current strategy indicates AMD moving away from the target gaming market. This news may be disappointing to gamers who were expecting a direct competitor to Nvidia’s dominant GPUs that were already widely reported.

Four New GPUs, But No FlagshipA Strategic Move for AMDAMD’s New Battle Plan

Jack Huynh, AMD’s senior vice president shared details on how the firm plans to adopt a new sense of value in its graphics card business with Tom’s Hardware. Huynh said, “My number one priority right now is to build scale,” meaning AMD will focus on the mainstream segment more than aiming for the absolute top of the market.

This is further supported by rumors from the Chinese tech site Benchlife, which reveal that AMD is developing four GPUs with the RDNA 4 architecture. These new cards will be divided into two Navi 44 and two Navi 48 GPUs which will be a part of the Radeon RX 8000 series branding scheme.

Four New GPUs, But No Flagship

As for the specifics, the aforementioned rumors suggest that all four cards in the Radeon RX 8000 series will be equipped with GDDR6 VRAM, typical for modern gaming GPUs. From comments by Huynh indicating AMD’s aim at increasing its market coverage, it can be assumed that these new cards will not be pitted against Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5090, which is expected to be Nvidia’s next flagship lineup.

For many gamers, the Navi architecture is already known to AMD. For instance, the Radeon RX 7600 XT released in the year 2020 was based on the Navi 33 architecture. This time around they are expected to release the RX 8700 XT as well as the XTX, together with the RX 8600 XT and XTX at the lower end of the spectrum, going by some leaks. Most strikingly, the Radeon RX 8900 XTX, often speculated as an actual flagship model for this new generation is not in this roadmap, which underlines AMD’s mid-tier strategy even further.

A Strategic Move for AMD

For that reason, AMD’s decision to shift more of its strategic attention to the mid-range market is perfectly logical. Nvidia remains on top of the high end with its RTX 4090, a card that is so potent that Nvidia skipped an RTX 4090 Ti completely. Attempting to directly challenge Nvidia at the high end would be a tall order for AMD, which has long played catch up in the desktop and laptop GPU market.

Rather, AMD has shifted its focus towards the lower-end solutions which are the markets it can conquer. The Nvidia RTX 4060 is great, yet it opens for a fight, and that is where AMD has placed its money on, hoping to offer its Radeon RX 8000 series cards to PC gaming enthusiasts without billion-dollar budgets.

AMD already has a fairly good position in other sectors of the gaming market. The company designs and builds chips for some of the most famous portable gaming consoles such as the Asus ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go as well as Steam Deck by Valve. It also cooperates with Sony and Microsoft and to supply custom chips for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, in the desktop GPU field, AMD has not managed to challenge Nvidia’s supremacy.

AMD’s New Battle Plan

While Nvidia is now aiming at machine learning and data centers, mid-range graphics cards are now associated with AMD’s brand strategy and are marketed as the ideal solutions for gamers. The next Radeon RX 8000 series based on RDNA 4 could offer an affordable solution for gamers that may help AMD regain some of the lost market share against NVIDIA.

Concisely, the Radeon RX 8000 series is the next generation of GPU that AMD plans to release next year to appeal to the large pool of gamers who prefer affordable mid-end GPU. The lack of a flagship GPU might be painful to some hardcore enthusiasts but it’s probably the right thing for AMD to do in order to establish itself in the very competitive GPU market.
