AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RDNA 4 embrace the AI revolution

The rumors were true! AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT during the company's CES 2025 keynote on Monday, powered by the next-generation RDNA 4 architecture with a new AI-focused version of FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) in tow. Gamers hoping for deep details were left wanting, however, as AMD classified this as a "preview" without much hard information. It was more of a tease than anything, honestly, though it's clear that AMD is finally, truly embracing AI hardware within GPUs. Here's what we do know. For years, AMD has battled Nvidia's vaunted DLSS using (mostly) graphics cores rather than integrating dedicated AI hardware. AMD says RDNA 4 was built from the ground up on TSMC's 4nm process to "supercharge" AI performance, driven by a massive overhaul to the AI compute architecture.
