- AMD revealed the Radeon RX 9050, a new RDNA 4 graphics card, and 4GB VRAM models are returning to the market as the AI flash memory crisis deepens.
- Sapphire introduced a Radeon RX 9050 8GB Pulse graphics card, giving buyers a higher-VRAM alternative to the 4GB base model.
Why it matters: Budget GPU buyers gain a new RDNA 4 option from AMD, but the return of 4GB cards signals that memory supply pressures—tied to the AI flash memory crunch—are forcing AMD back to smaller VRAM configurations even on new silicon.
