| Future AMD and Nvidia GPU generations have surfaced in a presentation |
A supposed Broadcom presentation has surfaced showing Nvidia's RTX 80 series and AMD's RDNA 7, but industry watchers are already picking apart its inconsistencies.
A leaked GPU roadmap is making the rounds online, and it's raising eyebrows for all the wrong reasons. The document, reportedly shown during a presentation by a senior Broadcom executive to an audience of hundreds, appears to map out the next several years of graphics hardware from Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. It name-drops Nvidia's RTX 80 series and AMD's RDNA 7 architecture — but it also contains enough errors to make even casual hardware fans suspicious.
The leak comes courtesy of YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead, which claims a trusted source passed along the presentation. If the slide is genuine, it may have been circulating internally for a while — and that's precisely the problem.
Nvidia Feynman Meets the RTX 80 Series
The headline-grabber is a claimed link between Nvidia's Feynman architecture and a future GeForce RTX 80 lineup. Nvidia has already confirmed Feynman as its next data centre architecture with a 2028 target, but the company has never tied it to consumer graphics cards — and neither have the usual leak channels.
Just as strange, the roadmap jumps straight from Rubin-based RTX 60 GPUs to Feynman-based RTX 80 models, skipping the RTX 70 series entirely. For a document supposedly outlining a product stack, that's a glaring omission.
AMD's RDNA 7 Roadmap Raises Questions
On the AMD side, the slide references RDNA 7 while apparently omitting RDNA 6 — although the naming itself isn't much of a scoop. AMD executive Jack Huynh publicly discussed RDNA 5, RDNA 6, and RDNA 7 back in 2024 when outlining the company's long-term graphics plans.
More troubling is the document's claim that RDNA 5 powers the Radeon RX 9000 series. Those cards actually use RDNA 4, a mistake that points to sloppy or outdated information rather than a genuine forward-looking roadmap.

Intel's Entries Don't Add Up Either
Intel doesn't escape scrutiny. The roadmap shows Celestial discrete GPUs launching in 2025, despite no such consumer products ever materialising. It also still lists the cancelled Falcon Shores accelerator and references the Druid architecture, which is reportedly in flux but not entirely cancelled.
Some entries appear to span six years, though Moore's Law is Dead suggests these likely represent product lifespans rather than gaps between generations. The channel's host, Tom, acknowledges the document's flaws and floats the idea that it originated in 2024 before receiving partial updates for the 2026 presentation. In other words, even if the slide is real, it may be well out of date.
The RTX 60 Timeline Is Still a Mess
That uncertainty carries over to Nvidia's nearer-term plans. Moore's Law is Dead has repeatedly floated the idea of an RTX 6090 arriving in 2027, and the Broadcom slide seemingly backs that up. Not everyone agrees. Well-known leakers Kopite7kimi and Kepler_L2 both maintain that Nvidia's Rubin-based gaming GPUs won't land until 2028.
AMD's follow-up to RDNA 4 could be further out than expected, too. Kepler_L2 recently suggested RDNA 5 might not be announced until the second half of 2027, with only the AT2 GPU expected that year and the flagship AT0 and other models following in 2028.
What It Means for Next-Gen Consoles
Shifting GPU timelines could ripple into the console space. Sony is continuing to support the PS5 and PS5 Pro while working with AMD on Project Amethyst, which is expected to shape future PlayStation hardware. Microsoft's next-gen Xbox, Project Helix, will use a custom AMD SoC, with development kits reportedly heading to studios in 2027 and a commercial launch targeted for late 2028.
That said, neither console schedule is a reliable indicator of AMD's desktop GPU roadmap.
The Bottom Line
With the RTX 60 series and RDNA 5 still mired in conflicting rumours, this alleged RTX 80 and RDNA 7 roadmap offers very little concrete information. For now, the Broadcom presentation raises more questions than it answers — and until Nvidia or AMD say otherwise, treat it as speculation.
