New rumours suggest that AMD will be gunning for Nvidia when it releases its RDNA 5-based desktop GPUs. With AT3 and AT4 already detailed, a well-known source has now outlined what to expect from AMD's more powerful AT0 and AT2 options.

A few days have passed since Moore's Law is Dead shared details about multiple RDNA 5 or UDNA-based desktop graphics cards. To recap, the popular YouTube channel disclosed information about Alpha Trion 3 and Alpha Trion 4, which are more commonly known as AT3 and AT4, respectively.

Now, Kepler_L2 has suggested that AMD is also working on Alpha Trion 0 (AT0) and Alpha Trion 2 (AT0) as higher-end options. Reportedly, AT2 will surpass AT3 by jumping to 4 Shader Arrays (SA) with 8 Shader Engines (SE) and 40 Compute Units (CUs). By contrast, current-generation Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon RX 9070 XT (curr. $719.99 on Amazon) cards feature 32 CUs and 64 CUs, respectively.

Meanwhile, AT0 is reported to reach 96 CUs with 16 SEs and 4 SAs. If that proves to be the case, then AMD's next generation may get closer in performance to Nvidia's most powerful GeForce RTX desktop graphics cards. In the meantime, AMD is tipped to introduce an updated Radeon RX 9070 GRE this autumn. Apparently, Nvidia will release the GeForce RTX 50 Super series during the same time period, too. Pricing, release dates and even product names remain a mystery at this stage.
