PC Master Race - PCMR: A place where all enthusiasts of PC, PC gaming and PC technology are welcome!

Rumour has it that AMD are no longer planning to release ultra-high-end graphics cards using their RDNA 4 graphics architecture, leaving Nvidia without any competition in this segment of the GPU market. Some sources have alleged that AMD has cancelled the development of their Navi 41 and 42 GPU designs, making Navi 43 their highest-end silicon.

Obviously, AMD has not confirmed these rumours, and it remains unclear if these rumours have a solid foundation. u/Kepler_L2, the source of these rumours, has claimed that three sources had confirmed this to them, though it is strange to think that AMD would leave the high-end GPU market after innovating with GPU chiplets with RDNA 3.

If AMD are shifting their focus onto the mid-range segment of the GPU market, the company will be moving back to the strategy that they had with their GCN 4 (Polaris) and RDNA 1 graphics architectures. Such a focus would not be a bad move for AMD, as they could then focus their high-end resources on the AI market, and work to double down on their success in the lower-end of the GPU market with devices like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally.

Interesting if true.

AMD stated that they didn't make a 4090 competitor because "they didn't want to", although most people believe it's more likely because their move to chiplet designs didn't work out as well as they'd hoped.

While they've always gravitated towards the low/mid-range as their bread and butter, it would be interesting if they just abandoned the high end market altogether.

Maybe Intel taking a sizeable chunk of their lower end market is making them change their course a little bit?

Do you think air coolers will become obsolete for high end cpus in future? (lemmit.online)

Let me know your thoughts! I am an air cooler person and aios never really made me feel comfortable. I know modern aios are leak proof and stuff but knowing there are so many points of failure and that they don’t last forever made me stay with air cooling, and since my pc is used for work I cannot have it failing me randomly. But looking at how warm cpus get (at idle too) with an aircooler on high end cpus it makes me wonder if aios will be the only way to cool them in future.
