Nearly a year after its announcement at Computex 2025 and a few days after its initial debut at Call of Duty: Black Ops 7announced AMD senior vice president and GM general manager Jack Huynh on X that on December 10, the company will organize its first major event for FSR Redstone. Huynh also confirmed that Redstone will be strictly narrow to the RX 9000 series.
FSR Redstone is the name of AMD’s next generation of graphics technologies aimed at competing with DLSS 4. The Redstone brand encompasses several AMD technologies, including ML-based upscaling and frame generation, neural ray buffering, and ML-based ray regeneration.
AMD already offers ML-based scaling and frame generation for RX 9000 series graphics cards up to FSR 4. The latter two technologies are recent: neural radiation buffering and radiation regeneration. These two technologies mimic Nvidia’s Neural Radiance Fields and Ray Reconstruction. Neural radiation caching accelerates path tracking by predicting indirect lighting resources and storing this information in cache. Ray regeneration regenerates pixels that cannot be accurately traced in ray-traced scenes (such as scenes with ray-traced reflections).
Already at the premiere, we can expect AMD to share even more details about how FSR Redstone works, whether it will completely replace FSR 4 and what games Redstone will target (apart from BO7). There have been reports that FSR Redstone could potentially be a vendor-agnostic solution, and is reportedly coded under the ROCm project, which runs on shader cores (allowing Redstone to run on Nvidia and Intel GPUs).
However, the teaser trailer that Jack Huynh showed off for Redstone makes it clear that Redstone will (at least initially) be narrow to the RX 9000 series, just like FSR 4. The video only promoted support for the RX 9000 series and did not include any details about vendor-agnostic support or support for older RX 7000-series GPUs. This is very similar to FSR 4, which officially only supports RDNA 4 GPUs, but technically supports older CPUs graphic.
