A short but sweet announcement was sent out by AMD today, as they've now set a date for when they will fully reveal AMD Radeon RDNA 3, their next-gen GPU architecture. Something we had a very brief teaser of when they announced Zen 4.
Their "together we advance_gaming" event will be livestreamed on November 3rd at 1PM PDT / 8PM UTC. As the press released noted:
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced “together we advance_gaming,” a livestream event to unveil the next generation of AMD Radeon™ graphics. AMD executives will provide details on the new high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA™ 3 architecture that will deliver new levels of performance, efficiency and functionality to gamers and content creators.
The show premieres at 1:00 p.m. PDT on Thursday, November 3, on the AMD YouTube channel. A replay can be accessed a few hours after the conclusion of the event at AMD.com/Radeon.
What are you really hoping for from AMD RDNA 3?
For me: I'm hoping for power requirements that aren't completely ridiculous (hi NVIDIA), along with cards that don't just serve the top-end. It's not much to ask really is it?

So don't buy their sudden change of heart in the sense of "we now have an open kernel module". May be they do, but they also ballooned their firmware blob to be the black box driver controlling the GPU, basically moving stuff out of the kernel into the firmware blob. So they just don't care much about the kernel part now to make it open, their main part still remains a blob.

So AMD is way better in this regard despite some blob being present.
