CES 2025: What We Didn't See
Though CES is renowned for its major reveals, sometimes what isn't shown can be just as telling. AMD’s CES 2025 keynote largely skipped over the new RDNA 4 lineup, avoiding detailed specs or firm release dates. Those left in suspense may have been eager to see more about the RX 9000 series but, alas, will have to hang tight a little longer. -
Performance Predictions and Price Wars
AMD’s cards have been whispering around tech forums and social media, teasing potential benchmarks and pricing strategies. Boasting capabilities like potentially reaching 3.1GHz on the RX 9070 XT, it's not all about speed; the critical question remains — at what cost?
- Given Nvidia’s recent announcements, the pressure is on AMD to competitively price their new lineup.
- AMD may take a calculated risk to "undercut" their rivals, offering affordability for high performance.
- The Landscape of GPU Releases
The tech calendar is crowded, with Nvidia's RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 planned for release toward the end of January, and other models following in February. AMD has a narrow window to swoop in, potentially outshining its competition by the mid-moment launch.
Keep an eye on your favorite tech sites and forums, as every leaked specification and insider whisper tends to ignite waves of anticipation among gamers and professionals alike.
December and January may be a festival of technology this time around, as we unravel the surprises and innovations CES 2025 delivers. Don't miss our coverage and insights into how AMD plans to shake up the industry this year — because when giants clash, there's no telling how the tech world will evolve!
