As the days go by, little by little, we are learning more information related to this new generation of AMD graphics that has skipped the 8000 series that is only used for mobile GPUs with RDNA 3.5 architecturea decision, to say the least.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
The new generation of AMD graphics is made up, as we have commented above, of the Radeon RX 9070 XT and the Radeon RX 9070graphics that, according to the presentation, will hit the market during the first quarter of 2025 from Acer, ASUS, Sapphire, XFX, ASRock, Gigabyte among others.
Performance
As AMD stated last August, this new generation is intended for the mid-range, so we can already forget about finding a power similar to what we can find in the NVIDIA RTX 50.
As for the RTX 9070 XT performanceas stated by VideoCard and based on the information published by Chiphell (who claims to have this graph), the performance in 3DMark Speed Way of the RX 9070 XT will be higher than the RTX 4070 Ti and is 3 points below the RX 7900 XTX. But, in the 3DMark Time Spy Extreme test, this will be superior to the RTX 4080 SUPER from NVIDIA.
As for the specifications, as stated, again, by Chiphell, the base frequency speed is 2,520 MHz, a speed that goes up to 3,060MHz in turbo mode. This user’s model has been manufactured by ASUS, has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and has a memory speed of 20,144 Mbps. As for the TBP of the RX 9070 XT, this confirms previous leaks and reaches 330W.
Availability
In the slide that AMD presented during the presentation event of the RX 9070 tomorrow that it does on March 31.
Apparently AMD was in a hurry or at the time of making the announcement it was not very clear when it could launch it on the market.
The latest news related to the launch of the Radeon RX 9070, again from VideoCard, points to January 22, the date on which the embargo on the media to publish the reviews would be lifted and a day later they would hit the market, that is, the January 23thus anticipating the launch of the NVIDIA RTX 50, scheduled for January 30.
Price
Regarding the price, information that AMD did not disclose during the presentation, if we pay attention to the information published by the X HXL user, the launch price will be $479 for the reference model and the version of the assemblers will start from the $549.

$549 is the same launch price of the RTX 5070 from NVIDIA, a graphics card that will hit the market in February of this year.
With the same price and probably with the NVIDIA base model offering better performance, everything seems to indicate that either AMD lowers the price considerably and considers the RX 40 as an option or it has a very difficult time remaining in the graphics market. in the domestic market.
