AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Available Now According to Out-of-date Advertising
PC hardware enthusiasts located in Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom have stumbled upon amusingly out-of-date AMD Radeon RX 9070 series GPU advertising. Earlier today, examples were presented on the Radeon subreddit—the social media-sourced announcements provide another look at Team Red's new reference design (Made-By-AMD/MBA) for the RDNA 4 generation, but the accompanying text (translated to English) implies that gamers can "play now" on not-yet-released Navi 48 GPU-based hardware. AMD has officially delayed its launch of Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) cards into March, but older leaked information pointed to a possible January 23 (today) rollout.
This marketing campaign has seemingly kicked off prematurely—perhaps initiated by mistake. VideoCardz reached out to retail sources for comment—their report indicates that promotional material was ready to go, but embargoes are reportedly still in place. They reckon that a basic specification teaser could emerge online in the near future. Board partners have already distributed products across retail networks, and finalized units have been unboxed—today's advertised claim of "immediate availability" is no longer valid, but many folks hoped for a pre-January 30 kick-off. NVIDIA will be launching its GeForce RTX 50 series at the end of this month, but industry soothsayers believe that things will not go smoothly.

Eg1. For clarification, Twitter allows you to buy "announcements" which are basically ads. You choose how many people you want to reach, you pay, and then your post is sent to Twitter users. The ad was programmed for today cause the original launch date was probably today.
That's all I got.
Crazy days man.
AMD: trying to conquer the dGPU market since '06.
Success rates are so far identical.

They have the GPU's clearly manufactured and in stores. It's not delayed because the silicon is bad. Sitting in the stores for one more month is not the of the world, it's the organization that is the marketing department.
Some of you are nearly as embarrassing with the posts. End of the day, they are all overpriced video cards.
It's getting tiring seeing all these threads with mostly Nvidia users posting who really don't care and would never buy an AMD card just go "haha lol AMD is doomed".
