Following the rebranding of its mobile APU series as “Ryzen AI,” AMD is said to be changing its APU naming convention. Radeon RDNA 4-series GPUs will allegedly adopt the RX 9000 moniker, according to well-known leaker Wasilin and momomo_us. This rumor is further supported by information shared by: All wattageswhich is a massive catalog of GPUs that AMD may reveal at CES next month.
The new naming convention uses the X0X0 pattern, where X is a wildcard character, in stark contrast to AMD’s existing XX00 scheme. Likewise, to further differentiate the architectures, future RDNA 3.5 GPUs like Strix Halo should launch under the RX 8000 series, while the RX 9000 series is reserved for RDNA 4 GPUs. As far as we know, the successor of RX 7600 should be named RX 9060. This suggests that AMD may not only be renaming its products, but also remapping them (RX 8800 XT -> RX 9070 XT), although we won’t know for sure until official confirmation from the chipmaker.
Further information suggests that AMD may be preparing to launch more RDNA 3 (RX 7000) GPUs for mobile and desktop use. Leaked data suggests potential RX 7750, RX 7650 and RX 7650 GRE refreshes appearing alongside the laptop’s RX 7650S, RX 7750S, RX 7650M and RX 7650M XT discrete Radeon GPUs. The leaker further stated in the post that the RX 9060 and RX 9050 will use a 128-bit memory bus, with a 96-bit interface planned for the low-end RX 9040.

Team Red may also launch the RDNA 4 mobile GPU next month. The data suggests that AMD is preparing the following RDNA 4-based discrete GPUs: RX 9070M XT, RX 9070M, and RX 9070S, although we still know nothing about the specifications. In addition, a french retailer The RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 have just been listed; further confirming this leak.
The key is that the maximum bus configuration of Navi 44 is only 128 bits, which can support 8GB or 16GB VRAM (clamshell type). Therefore, the RX 7600’s successor is likely to retain the 8GB configuration. this is a bit disappointing Intel’s new Arc B580 The standard for budget gaming GPUs should be raised with powerful 12GB setups, but it’s better to wait until these GPUs are officially released.
