AMD RDNA5 Architecture Speculation

Intel B580 is almost like Intel's Ryzen moment in the GPU space. Right performance, right time, right price to shake things up. But will there be takers?
Is it? I don't really see it being sustainable on their current trajectory.
Good enough performance at a great price means a solid product but the timing is terrible.
If they would have launched it at any other point in 2024 it would have been amazing, especially towards the middle of the year, but at the end of Q4 within a month of competition?

Edit- To go back on topic about performance targets... I really think AMD's choice for RDNA4 is the sweetspot for average FPS gaming according to TPU.

N48(~7900XT) - ~180FPS @ 1080p native, ~120-140fps @ 1440p native, and ~60-80FPS @ 4k native.
That means with optimizing settings and/or using upscaling/FG you can make good use of those +$500 highend monitors, +240FPS @ 1080p, +200FPS @ 1440p, and +120fps at 4k.

N44(~RTX3070) - ~100FPS @ 1080p native and ~70FPS @ 1440p native.
Optimizing settings + upscalers/FG means good match for budget $200-$300 gaming monitors, ~200FPS @ 1080p and +120FPS @ 1440p.

Supposedly RDNA 5 will be a 3 chip lineup, and likely monolithic again. So I'd expect N48 and N44 sized die and another die maybe AD103 sized so they cover a slightly wider range than RDNA 4. Likely timeline is H2'26 most likely on N3P/N3X.
 
I think that UDNA/RDNA5 will not have a Halo Nvidia killer. Just 4k cards at max, and Nvidia will have a 8k max quality card with Rubin.
 
8K won't be a thing for many many years - if ever. Even on PC 8K seems excessive and on TVs it is borderline useless for anything smaller than 80".
I'm in accord with this, but i still think that Nvidia will not let the "Halo of the Halo" tier. AI rocks, but Nvidia is more competitive as ever.
 
My bet: UDNA will have 3 SKUs, one for FullHD, 1 for 1440p and one for 4K maximum settings.
