AMD RDNA 4 GPUs will allegedly be rebranded RX 9000

Following the “Ryzen AI” rebrand of its mobile APU series, AMD is allegedly altering the naming convention of its Radeon GPUs as the RDNA 4 family is rumored to adopt the RX 9000 moniker, per renowned leakers HXL and momomo_us. This rumor is further supported by information shared by All The Watts, which is a massive catalog of GPUs that AMD might disclose next month at CES.

The new naming convention adopts an X0X0 pattern, with X being a wildcard, in contrast to AMD’s existing XX00 scheme. Likewise, to further distinguish between architectures, future RDNA 3.5 GPUs (e.g., Strix Halo) should launch under the RX 8000 family with the RX 9000 series reserved for RDNA 4 GPUs. From what we can understand, the successor to the RX 7600 should be named the RX 9060. Another interesting aspect is that these leaks position the RX 9070 XT as the flagship RDNA 4 offering, not the RX 9080 XT (Legacy name: RX 8800 XT). This proposes that AMD might have not only renamed its offerings but remapped them as well (RX 8800 XT -> RX 9070 XT) though we cannot be certain until official confirmation from the chip maker.
