The “Navi 4x” generation of GPU chip packages may be generationally smaller than those of its predecessors, based on package measurements of the “Navi 44” chip that Olrak29_ released. AMD has chosen to give up the enthusiast sector to NVIDIA and concentrate on gaining market share in the performance and mainstream markets with its next-generation Radeon RX gaming GPUs, which are built on the RDNA 4 graphics architecture. The company is working to make RDNA 4 as efficient as possible in terms of design, process, and package.

Through a more specialized ray tracing hardware stack, RDNA 4 is anticipated to increase performance at the architecture level, namely the performance cost of ray tracing. AMD is anticipated to transition to a more efficient foundry node at the manufacturing level; some rumors indicate that this will be the TSMC 4 nm, which includes the N4P and N4X. The “Navi 44,” which replaces the “Navi 23” and “Navi 33,” is a mid-range GPU that represents a significant advancement over the 7 nm or 6 nm DUV nodes. A smaller packaging, measuring 29 mm x 29 mm, is suggested by the leak. The “Navi 23” packaging, in contrast, is 35 mm by 35 mm in size. Given that mainboard PCB real estate is at a premium in gaming notebooks, the smaller design may make these GPUs more compatible.
