AMD's UDNA-GPU GPU leakage of the next generation

New GFX13 architecture sneaks into the spotlight

AMD's GPU architecture of the next generation is leaked throughout the web, and it looks as if the chip maker is ready to ward off RDNA for something that calls either Udna or RDNA 5, depending on how the wind blows.

The code at the kernel level, which was excavated by Twitter Leader @Kepler_L2, shows the upcoming silicone, which is marked as “GFX13”. The next big thing is something that is referred to as the “wave group”, which probably means that several wave fronts or decent small clusters of 32 or 64 threads are put together.

Officially, AMD keeps it calm, but unofficially the leaks indicate that Udna will be her first proper “uniform” GPU architecture, which means that it will appear both in discrete GPUs and in the next generation CPUS. In contrast to the RDNA 4 architecture, which plays in a discreet country Solo, Udna will apparently lead to both parties.

Both the incoming Zen 6 CPUs and the UDNA graphics kit should use the shiny N3E node from TSMC, but do not yet keep your breath for UDNA IGPUS. Most Zen 6 chips are still expected to pull along RDNA 3.5 cores, just like Strix Point, Strix Halo and Krackan Point.

AMD has decided to skip the right high-end RDNA 4 GPUs, so that the first difficult silicon will probably land with Udna.

On the street it says that mass production for UDNA parts is integrated for the second quarter of 2026. Until then, you expect AMD to build up the RDNA 4 line -up with more cards from the RX 9000 series. Two have already left, and the RX 9060 XT is appeared at Computex, and probably a price tag that nobody asked for.
