AMD RX 9070 Revealed: Will This New GPU Ease Fearing Frenzy in the Gaming Community?

AMD’s RDNA 4: What We Know So Far

The latestchter on AMD’s highly anticipated RDNA 4 graphics cards has just gotten a bit more transparent, courtesy of an interview between Frank Azor, AMD’s head of consumer and gaming marketing, and a Spanish YouTuber, Michael Quesada. Here’s what we know so far.

RDNA 4: A "Very Competitive Product"

According to Azor, RDNA 4 will be a "very competitive product" that offers a balance of power and price. He emphasized that AMD is focused on delivering value for money, and the next-gen GPUs will do just that. He also mentioned that the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 GRE offered aggressive pricing for their performance, which the market responded well to in a rising price landscape.

Pricing: It’s Coming

While Azor didn’t reveal specific pricing for the RX 9070 series, he did drop some intriguing clues. He stated that the next-gen GPUs will be priced to match the RX 7900 GRE, which is an excellent value graphics card. This has left some gamers wondering if the rumored $650 price tag for the RX 9070 XT is accurate. Our take? Not so fast. The prices Azor mentioned were quite a spread, so let’s focus on the message, not the dollar amounts. The key point is that RDNA 4 will be competitive with Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series and offer great value.

When to Expect RDNA 4

There’s still no official word on when we can expect the full RX 9070 launch event, but rumor has it that pre-orders might kick off on January 23, with the cards hitting shelves at the end of January.
