TL;DR
Kepler_L2 reports AMD is planning an RDNA 5+ graphics architecture for 2029, likely for Zen 7 Grimlock APUs using TSMC A14 silicon.
Kepler_L2 reports that AMD plans to release an updated graphics architecture called RDNA 5+ in 2029. This architecture is described as an evolution of RDNA 5, similar to how RDNA 3.5 builds on an existing design. The base RDNA 5 architecture is expected in 2027 or 2028.
The RDNA 5+ architecture is reportedly intended for Zen 7 APUs code-named Grimlock. Prior leaks suggest these Grimlock devices will target TSMC A14 silicon. Kepler_L2 notes that using RDNA 5+ in discrete Radeon graphics cards is less likely. This is because RDNA 5 gaming GPUs are reportedly expected in late 2027 or early 2028, which leaves little time for a transition to the updated version in 2029. AMD has not confirmed the RDNA 5+ name or the suggested release window.
