In today’s video, we’ll be discussing AMD’s bold new direction with their RDNA4 architecture and the introduction of the RX 8800XT. With promises of RTX 4080-level performance at a mainstream price point, AMD seems poised to capture the attention of gamers who’ve been waiting for a more affordable high-performance GPU. But is this move part of a well-thought-out plan or just damage control for their shifting priorities? I’ll be breaking down the contradictions in their messaging, exploring the unification of RDNA and CDNA into UDNA, and why this shift might reveal AMD’s true focus on AI and HPC, with gaming being a secondary priority. We’ll also discuss whether this strategy will truly benefit the gaming community or if it’s just a PR move to mask deeper issues.
