The leakers disagree, but we might just get one AMD-shaped mid-range GPU through all of 2027
According to hardware leaker Kepler_L2, AMD will release only a single mid-range GPU throughout 2027, with all other next-generation releases from both AMD and Nvidia postponed to 2028. The GPU, codenamed AT2, represents a significant slowdown in the hardware release cadence driven by the global memory shortage, which has inflated prices and reduced launch frequency for memory-dependent products.
The revelation comes from one of the industry’s most reliable leakers, though reports indicate disagreement among various leakers about exact timelines and availability. For consumers and system builders, the consolidation signals a period of limited GPU options throughout 2027, particularly in the mid-range segment. The postponement affects competitiveness in the PC gaming market during this period, as performance advancement will stall while manufacturers navigate memory supply constraints.
