According to several AIB partners at Computex 2026, the release of AMD’s next-gen Radeons is still at least a year away.
Computex 2026 is behind us, and with it, of course, a slew of product announcements. While the trade show was packed with plenty of AI news, as is fitting for the times, there was also quiet talk about the future of “regular” graphics cards—at least according to the Dutch portalTweakers (viaTom’s Hardware).
According to the report, several AIBs (add-in board partners such as MSI, Sapphire, and Asus) have shared their behind-the-scenes assessments of when the new generation of AMD Radeon graphics cards can be expected.
The next GPU showdown is a long time coming
These forecasts aren’t entirely consistent, but they show a clear trend:This year and also in the first half of 2027, the graphics card series currently dubbed “RX 10000” won’t be coming to market.
Instead, most expect a launch toward the end of next year. One unnamed manufacturer is said to have been the most specific: The third quarter of 2027 is reportedly the realistic timeframe for the next GPU series.
As for the technical specifications, however, the AIBs did not release any information—here, the situation remains as previously known:
- The RX 10000 series is expected to move away from the RDNA architecture and instead rely on the new UDNA architecture.
- This is intended to bring about closer integration between the gaming and compute sectors, which is likely to result in a bigger leap forward compared to the RX 9000.
- In addition, there are reportedly set to be a total of four chips, ranging from enthusiast to entry-level models.
This would presumably mean AMD continues its usual competition with Nvidia, as the RTX 6000 series is also rumored to launch in late 2027.
In this case, both manufacturers would be leaving an unusually long gap between generations; after all, both the RTX 5000 and RX 9000 would then be nearly three years old—significantly longer than the two-year gap that typically prevails.
