AMD preps RDNA 4 for pro cards with rumoured Navi 48 XTW

Radeon PRO W9000 series may feature 32 GB workstation

AMD might have ghosted the high-end gaming crowd with its RDNA 4 consumer GPUs, but workstation users could be getting something meatier.

According to X leaker @AnhPhuH, AMD is working on a Navi 48 XTW card — a beefy professional-grade GPU packing 32 GB of VRAM, likely headed for the rumoured Radeon PRO W9000 series.

If the 32 GB figure holds, the XTW variant could become the Navi 48 flagship, at least in memory terms. While details are thin on architecture tweaks or core counts, the memory spec points to a card built for serious data-heavy workloads, not frame-pushing at 4K.

This Navi 48 XTW hasn’t shown up in previous leaks, but it's reportedly targeting AMD’s pro GPU stack rather than gamers, which would explain its absence during the Radeon RX 9070 launch cycle.

Enthusiasts were holding out for a Navi 48 XTX card to square off with Nvidia’s RTX 5090, but that dream quietly died as AMD shifted focus away from the top-tier consumer market.

Speculation points to an official unveiling at the Advancing AI event or Computex. Given the workstation tilt, Advancing AI seems the more likely stage, and AMD has already hinted that its RDNA 4 plans include commercial and professional deployments.

Meanwhile, the consumer side of RDNA 4 trudges on with the upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT and RX 9070 GRE. But if you’re a workstation user who felt overlooked in AMD’s last few cycles, the Navi 48 XTW might be the card you've been waiting for — assuming it shows up.
