This time AMD made the first official price announcement in China: the 9070 XT is aiming for 4999¥ which is $690 and much lower than the 5070 Ti MSRP of 6199¥.

If the same $165 difference remains for the global pricing and the initial benchmarks will be good enough, 9070 series may become the most successful Radeon in ages.

⭐ The release date is March 6, but this should also be confirmed on the global launch event a few hours later.

Yay, 9070 XT is doing great: Ray Tracing is still on NVIDIA side (despite huge improvements from AMD), but the general performance is on par with 5070 Ti!

Retailers report that 9070 XT cards are arriving at stores and that they have QUITE SOME!

Just for comparison — in many cases with RTX 50, NVIDIA was only able to deliver something like this for the whole network in NA. This one is from a single store. Same across NA, Europe, and UK — all major networks reported that they have hundreds and thousands of cards.

Bad news, everyone: according to multiple sources, AMD is not going to keep the original MSRP. Instead, since the original stock is already almost sold out, they are planning to push it from $599 to $700+ in a few days.

It will work in a somewhat sketchy way: cheap cards will exist on paper, but will be all sold out. Ones that will be available will be priced at $700-1000.

So, is FSR4 worth it? Apparently so!

GPD is making Strix Halo device, based on AMD Ryzen AI 395. The chip can use up to 120W, but definitely not in a handheld. But it still beats all the crap from anything on the market.

AMD accidentally uploaded FSR4 under MIT, which means, it can't be revoked. The library was supposed to be released under commercial licence.
