I do hope UDNA is fantastic one reason being that'll help the next consoles out since the more capable they are at RT and neural rendering the better. It's a shame they didn't bother competing at the high end with RDNA 4 since with how disappointing the 5080 is there was a nice opening for a GPU with that level of performance and 24GB of VRAM while still being somewhat cheaper. 

AMD just didn't have the resources to do a high-end GPU whilst building CDNA, UDNA, APU's and worrying about RDNA4, their GPU teams whilst capable are significantly smaller than nVidia.

In-saying that, the 9060XT 16GB, 9070 and 9070XT are all absolutely brilliant in terms of price/performance/features.
If next-gen is based on RDNA4, I would still be pretty content considering how capable that hardware is.

AMD does need to pivot back to it's small-core design philosophy that they had with Terascale 1 and Terascale 2, which pushed them ahead of nVidia in terms of price/power/performance. That was peak AMD Graphics.

Where did you hear about that? Not saying you're wrong, just that this is the first time I've heard this and yeah RDNA 4 is for sure one of AMD's better lineups in the past decade. They won't age quite as well as the RTX 50 series but the gap will be closer than RDNA 3 and the 40 series and way closer than RDNA 1 and the 20 series so hopefully the gap gets even smaller next time.
