AMD and Nvidia Next-Gen GPUs Delayed to 2028 as Memory Crisis Bites

A recent leak has sent shockwaves through the PC hardware world, suggesting that AMD and Nvidia are pushing back their next-generation gaming GPU architectures to 2028. According to a report by Wccftech on September 16, 2026, hardware leaker Kepler_L2 claims that both companies will delay their new GPUs until 2028, with an exception being the AT2 chip from AMD.

AT2 is said to be built on the RDNA 5 architecture and is expected to launch in 2027. However, it's worth noting that the leak has not been confirmed by either AMD or Nvidia, and the accuracy of Kepler_L2's claims varies depending on the source.

The delay could mean a longer gap between flagship GPU generations than usual, with some outlets speculating that chipmakers are struggling to cope with memory pricing and supply issues. The market impact is expected to be significant for gamers and system builders who have been waiting for new GPUs.
