AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Launch Event Slated for Late-February
AMD is planning a media event to formally launch the Radeon RX 9070 series next-generation graphics cards some time in late-February 2024, VideoCardz reports. The company could simultaneously announce the flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT, its second-best RX 9070, and new stuff on the software side, such as FSR 4, although availability dates of each could vary. Availability of at least the top RX 9070 XT could be expected in March, the report says. Both the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are being prepared by AMD as performance-segment products, where they probably go up against SKUs from NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 series. Given the rather minor performance uplift the RTX 5080 yielded over its previous generation predecessor, the performance segment is in for some competition.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 are both based on the 4 nm "Navi 48" silicon, which reportedly features 64 compute units for 4,096 stream processors, and a new generation AI accelerator that's both faster and more capable than the one introduced with RDNA 3. There is expected to be a significant uplift in the ray tracing performance, too, reducing the performance cost of enabling ray tracing in games. FSR 4 is expected to leverage the AI acceleration capabilities of RDNA 4 for its super resolution algorithm. Both SKUs are expected to have all 64 CU enabled, but differ in clock speeds. Both are expected to feature 16 GB of older GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. As for the media event, we gathered from our post-CES roundtable with AMD that the event will at least be an online presentation.

Hell, the damned influencers keep doing this with the 7900 XTX.
AMD never said it competed with the 4090 but what do they do? Match it against the damned 4090...
And of course, when it loses, all AMD GPU's are trash.
So they are setting this one up for the same results.
Then again, is not like AMD marketing always do their fair share of damage.
The AMD delay is looking more like ...
-Let's build up more supply
-Adjust the price
-Fine tune the drivers and FSR 4
because there is no need to rush, the 5070 is most likely garbage.
Also what do AMD and Nvidia have against an "8" generation?
Where they won't have the supply issue, if their GPUs delivery this time around for the price performance, which I think will happen as with their CPUs/Intel history, they will be hailed as conquering heroes. I am actually looking forward to see what happens from their corner. <3
That being said, for the most part radeon has not been very consistent with their naming. except for the hd series
