Rumor mill: Given the state of the graphics card market, it feels like we'll be waiting forever to see next-generation GPUs. But according to a popular leaker, AMD will launch its RDNA 5 lineup in the second half of 2027 – so the first cards could be here in less than 12 months.
The information comes from Kepler_L2, who has a long history of correctly predicting graphics card releases. The leaker previously said RDNA 5 would land in 2027. Now, the timeframe has been narrowed to the second half of the year.
Writing on the AnandTech forums, Kepler_L2 said Team Red's next-generation cards could be unveiled at Computex 2027 at the earliest, though they're more likely to be announced later that year.
Computex 2027 starts on June 1. That'll be 2 years and 3 months since the RDNA 4-based Radeon 9000 series launched in March 2025. The gap between the Radeon RX 7000 series and RX 9000 cards was 2 years and 2 months, and it was 2 years and 25 days between the Radeon RX 6000 cards and RX 7000. So, the timing fits.
AMD might also depart from its usual habit of launching the higher-end cards first. Previous reports point to the mid-range AT2 GPU arriving in 2027, with the rest of the RDNA 5 family – including the rumored flagship AT0 and lower-end AT3 and AT4 chips – following in 2028.
Kepler_L2 also responded to a question about RDNA 5's potential use of the rumored 4GB GDDR7 memory chips, which are expected to be mass produced in the next two years along with 6GB GDDR7 chips.
