AMD is reportedly working on another big leap in gaming GPU performance with its next-gen AMD Radeon architecture, according to the latest leak. After playing a big game of catch-up with its latest RDNA 4 GPUs, such as the Radeon RX 9070 XT, the company’s next generation of graphics cards will apparently make more big strides with ray tracing, an area where AMD has traditionally lagged behind Nvidia, while also significantly improving rendering performance.

As we found in our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review, the company’s current RDNA 4 architecture is now properly competitive with Nvidia’s latest offerings, with superb performance across the board, not to mention a decent helping of VRAM. However, there are still some areas where the latest AMD GPUs struggle, such as path tracing, which is an advanced and highly demanding form of ray tracing, and it looks as though the company is focusing on improving its ray tracing performance even further.
