The question is, when will those chips be announced and released? I have pre-ordered (against common sense) my copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. I'd love to have a fresh card by then, but I'd probably go for a 7800/7900 in case the 8000-series release happens to take until we'll into the first half of 2025.

They are rumoured to be announced at CES 2025.

That's what was initially rumoured. From what we know now, they could release (or at least be unveiled) as early as this year. Board partners are busy with RDNA 4, or so it is claimed. I'm pretty impatient after a good 7-year run with my watercooled Vega 56.

Edit: can't find the source, maybe it's wishful thinking.

No you are correct, one of the RDNA 4 cards is supposed to launch in Q4.
Prolific leaker"Moore's law is dead" did a video of a leak on what he thinks is probably the 8800 XT.

EDIT: I think there's a bit more info on the release date in one of the chapters of his latest video.
