New generation graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD are now expected to launch in 2028. This shift in timeline, reported by insider Kepler_L2, follows earlier rumors that suggested a 2027 release. Potential memory supply constraints are cited as a factor influencing these updated schedules.
Despite the general delay, AMD is reportedly planning to release one new-generation graphics card in 2027. This model will be based on the AT2 GPU, which utilizes the RDNA 5 architecture. The card is expected to target the mid-range market segment, similar to the xx70 class of products.
Technical specifications for the AT2 GPU indicate it will feature 40 compute units. Estimates suggest this configuration may result in 5120 stream processors, depending on the final count per block. For comparison, current models like the RX 9070 GRE feature 48 units, while the RX 9060 XT includes 32.
AMD is also developing the AT0 GPU, which is intended to serve as the flagship model for the new generation. This high-end processor will feature 80 compute units. The company aims to use this hardware to re-establish its presence in the premium segment of the graphics card market.
