AMD has effectively confirmed the existence of next-generation RDNA 5 graphics cards well ahead of any official announcement. The first identifier for a discrete GPU based on the new architecture, GFX1310, has appeared in the LLVM repository, signaling active preparation of the software ecosystem for future products. LLVM is used for compiling and optimizing code for specific CPUs and GPUs, and the appearance of support over a year before release is considered a rare but telling move.
Previously, rumors suggested AMD might abandon the RDNA brand in favor of a new UDNA architecture. However, the recent LLVM changes make it clear the company is continuing to develop RDNA, with the next generation to be called RDNA 5. This also confirms that the GFX1300 family will form the basis for both discrete Radeon graphics cards and future PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
According to leaks, RDNA 5 will be manufactured on TSMC's N3P (3nm) process and will support HDMI 2.2. The VideoCardz database mentions several architectural implementations: a discrete GPU called Alpha Trion for the next generation of Radeon RX graphics cards, alongside SoCs named Ultra Magnus and Orion Pax for the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles. This hints at a broad product range, from the mainstream segment to high-end flagships.
While exact specifications and model counts remain unknown, sources state AMD plans a full lineup of RDNA 5 graphics cards with several SKUs. The first products based on the new architecture are expected to launch around mid-2027, and the early integration into LLVM indicates development has already entered an active phase.
