Yeston Unveils Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB "Sakura Atlantis" Card Design
AMD's official announcement of new RDNA 4 generation of GPUs—comprised of Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070—listed several manufacturing partners. YESTON did not join the likes of ASRock, PowerColor, Sapphire and XFX in showcasing custom designs "in-person" at CES, but their official social media accounts have unveiled a new Team Red GPU-based Sakura Atlantis edition card. YESTON has once again deployed its signature baby blue and pink color scheme—quite refreshing when compared to the slew of black/gray custom designs presented at last week's trade show.
Yeston was the first AMD AIB to publicly reveal Radeon RX 9070 XT's video memory allocation online—their social media post confirms the presence of 16 GB VRAM. Team Red partners in attendance at CES 2025 were not allowed to divulge this information, but a number of press outlets read model/name text on certain sticker attachments—corroborating previous leaks that listed 16 GB. Yeston's post outlines a white-lit breathing effects, as well as support for ARGB lighting. The new Sakura Atlantis shroud design is quite unconventional—breaking away from boxy aesthetics. Flowing lines and curved surfaces attract the eye, along with a pleasant pearlescent finish. Shell and starfish motif stickers adorn the card's three cooling fans. VideoCardz reports that Yeston has provided additional details—their Radeon RX 9070 XT-16G Sakura Atlantis model will feature an all-white PCB design and a white-colored I/O bracket. No surprises here, given the company's past choices.

I'm surprised more companies don't try to do art themed gpu's.
I guess its artwork. But gaudy stickers have been there since before 1999, and shrouds with all manner of unnecessary frills too
The PCB on this is white too, which is a minor and rare detail but a nice and welcome one.
Also, missed the photos of the blocked airflow editions.

I don't get that stuff :confused:
I think they're great, I'm not big on Anime myself - but ignoring the animie girl on the back, aesthetically it's *Different* from the angry black bricks, or basic white bricks.
Unsurprisingly these people also like seeing their media on other products, the same way you used to see looney toons backpacks and micky t shirts. GPUs, especially in asia, have done these types of crossovers for years. I remember the gundam crossover I think Asus did back int he day and man did I want one....
There are a couple others in this thread though and then if you go look at videocardz the vitriol by some there is absolutely hilarious.
I think the Sakura cards are one of the better looking white-themed cards.
I watched those.. and GI Joe.. He Man.. the old Looney Tunes that was racist, all the good stuff
The user could then either keep the card blank, or they could print out a pre-designed or custom designed art template to apply to the backplate of the card.
It would 100% blow up among the glass case crowd and add a neglible cost to the shipped card.
