Yeston Takes its Radeon RX 9070 XT Sakura Atlantis Model Outdoors
This morning, an official Yeston social media account boasted about receiving a brand new Navi 48 GPU-equipped model: "🌸got my Sakura Atlantis RX 9070 XT today!! It's shiny!🧜‍♀️" This message was accompanied by four photos, showcasing the card in an outdoor setting. This particular custom design (with white PCB and I/O bracket) was first revealed around mid-January—also via a photo shoot, albeit indoors—with the full moniker: "Radeon RX 9070 XT-16G Sakura Atlantis." Many press outlets jumped onto the presence of "16G" in that name—indicating 16 GB of VRAM—a specification point that AMD was reportedly wanting hidden from public view. Unlike certain Team Red board partners, Yeston has not set up a dedicated product page for the new Sakura Atlantis.
A March launch window has been set—made official by AMD's David McAfee—for the Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT). VideoCardz has observed a slow-down in promotional activities from AIBs over the past couple of days—bizarrely, GIGABYTE has chosen to scrub all Radeon RX 9000 series products from its website. Hardware Busters believes that AMD will be taking notes during the GeForce RTX 5070 GPU's launch week—they allege that the gathering of performance data (from NVIDIA hardware) is crucial in revising strategies for the March launch of RDNA 4 cards. In the meantime, Yeston will likely continue to post pretty pictures of its cute Sakura Atlantis design—also lined up for attachment on their upcoming "Blackwell" GPU-equipped lineup.

Do Mazda advertise their newest vehicle by showcasing it under water off the Continental shelf? (That actually sounds coool though!)
waifu = +5000 FPS
I really like their marketing. - It's for another graphic card - 7800XT
I think I saw in the past some small paper book with a story with the graphic card.

Back to the question. It's not from any game nor is it Yeston's mascot, it's just an anime character created by Yeston. For example, the Sakura Sugar series graphics card comes with a comic book about the anime character on the graphics card. Think of it as Yeston's way of telling the origin story of the anime girl, so definitely something they create.
Low value items like 2€ mice which are sold much higher do not count. Same applies for keyboards, mousepads. I bought quite often gamer mice for 6-7€ which had an asking price before for around 40€
RGB does not count. RGB is just common feature now on everything regardless if someone wants it or not. It is a "freebie" I do not want but I have to pay for it regardless. There are hardly any non rgb hardware left.
This is a bit more discrete than a case so why not ? :D
