Leaker Kepler_L2 claims AMD's next-generation Zen 7 'Grimlock' CPU cores, paired with enhanced RDNA 5+ graphics, won't reach consumer APUs until early 2029. Before that, AMD's RDNA 5 architecture is reportedly reserved exclusively for Sony's rumored handheld, codenamed Canis, expected around late 2027 alongside the PS6. OEM handhelds from companies like Microsoft, Valve, ASUS, or MSI will instead rely on the upcoming Ryzen Z3 series using Zen 6, Zen 5, and RDNA 4m until RDNA 5 trickles down.

Digital Foundry's podcast and leaker Kepler_L2 suggest Sony may have some form of exclusive or priority access to AMD's upcoming mobile RDNA 5 architecture for its next PlayStation handheld, codenamed Canis. Rival devices like a possible Xbox handheld or Steam Deck 2 may instead rely on AMD's less advanced RDNA 4m chips, reportedly branded Ryzen Z3 and Z3 Extreme, expected around early 2027.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says Nvidia's next mainstream GPU, likely called the RTX 6060, may not launch until 2029 due to ongoing DRAM and NAND supply constraints tied to AI data center demand. The same shortages are reportedly already delaying the rumored RTX 50 Super lineup and pushing the full RTX 60 series back to around 2028.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says AMD's RDNA 5 graphics card lineup will launch in the second half of 2027, with a possible unveiling at Computex 2027 in June. Unlike past generations, the mid-range AT2 chip may arrive first in 2027, while the flagship AT0 and lower-end AT3/AT4 chips could follow in 2028. The leaker also said upcoming 4GB GDDR7 memory chips likely won't be used in these consumer cards, being reserved instead for AI and enterprise products.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says Sony and Microsoft have already taped out the graphics chips for the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox (codenamed Helix), citing theoretical figures of 40 TFLOPs and 56 TFLOPs respectively. Both chips are expected to use AMD's RDNA 5 architecture, though the leaker raised the claims specifically to warn against comparing consoles by TFLOPs alone.

AMD has submitted patches to its open-source Linux kernel driver adding GDDR7 memory identification along with new IP blocks including IH 8.0 and NBIF 7.10, according to Phoronix. Current Radeon RX 9000-series cards use GDDR6, making this the clearest driver-level sign yet of preparation for a next-generation GPU architecture, widely expected to be RDNA 5.

Leaker Kepler_L2 says most of Nvidia's next-gen RTX 60 series and AMD's RDNA 5-based Radeon 10000 lineup won't launch until 2028, with AMD's midrange AT2 chip as the sole exception still on track for 2026. The claim contradicts an earlier report from Moore's Law is Dead suggesting Nvidia's RTX 6090 could arrive in early 2027, and AMD board partners have reportedly given inconsistent timelines ranging from late 2027 to early 2028.

Leaker Kepler_L2 claims internal AMD documents point to RDNA 5 GPUs clocking between 3.1 and 3.4GHz, up to 15% higher than the RX 9070 XT's 2.97GHz boost clock. Other leaks suggest the flagship Navi 5X die could pack 96 compute units, 12,288 cores, a 384-bit memory bus, and up to 32GB of GDDR7, with smaller dies scaling down in cores and memory.
