AMD has traditionally lagged behind in the realm of top-tier gaming laptops, particularly when it comes to graphics. However, fresh information from Golden Pig Upgrade Pack on Bilibili suggests that AMD is not backing down on its laptop GPU development. In fact, the company seems poised to launch four discrete graphics cards specifically designed for laptops. The leading model might even compete effectively with one of Nvidia’s upcoming high-end GPUs, although there’s no guarantee they will perform equally well.
The leaker provided a slide that outlines the four laptop GPUs that AMD plans to introduce in its forthcoming RDNA 4 series. While the specific names of the graphics cards aren’t disclosed, the slide highlights chip names, power consumption ranges, and memory configurations.
The flagship model, known as the R25M-E6 (the ‘M’ indicating that it is a laptop GPU), is rumored to support a power range of 80 to 175 watts and will feature 16GB of VRAM on a 256-bit memory interface. This positions it to potentially rival Nvidia’s RTX 5090, as reports indicate that the Nvidia RTX 50-series flagship may also offer 16GB of memory for laptops. However, more recent leaks suggest it could have 24GB of VRAM due to the integration of advanced memory modules, which could alter the situation further.

The next GPU, the R25M-P6, offers a total board power (TBP) range of 80 to 175 watts and features 12GB of VRAM on a 192-bit memory bus. Following that, there are the more budget-friendly options, the R25M-P6 and the R25M-P4. These models are designed with 8GB of VRAM, a 128-bit memory interface, and TBPs varying from 75 to 150 watts and 50 to 130 watts, respectively.
