Yeston Launches Radeon RX 9070 Series Sakura & Sakura Atlantis Models
Yeston unveiled its striking Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Sakura Atlantis card design around mid-January, along with an NDA-busting specification disclosure. The Chinese board partner seemingly disregarded AMD's guarded approach; by happily revealing an allocated pool of 16 GB VRAM. Later on, teasers emerged via the brand's social media accounts—including photos from an outdoor fashion shoot. Press outlets were expecting Yeston's launch lineup to consists of Sakura Atlantis Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 SKUs, but "bog standard" Sakura options have also appeared online.
The company's bafflingly abstract design is a familiar property; due to its deployments on a variety of past-gen hardware. According to one of Yeston's promotional images, their standard Sakura design only applies to a lone Radeon RX 9070 XT SKU. Both product tiers were accompanied by a message from their manufacturer: "Sakura And Sakura Atlantis are here! Yeston RX 9070 Series graphics cards are built to deliver all you need for ultra-fast gaming, with next-level visuals and future-ready features, supercharged with AI."
Appropriately, the Sakura Atlantis shroud, backplate and fans are decorated with all sorts of ocean-themed graphics and engravings. Plus an obligatory "waifu" illustration. Additionally, Yeston is spreading this pearlescent aesthetic over to the NVIDIA side of their portfolio. VideoCardz has found a JD.com listing of Yeston's Radeon RX 9070 XT Sakura Atlantis model. Chinese market pricing (including VAT) is 5099 RMB (~$702 USD), so 100 RMB north of Team Red's recommended entry point.
The standard Radeon RX 9070 XT Sakura model seems to be Yeston's MSRP baseline conformant offering; priced at 4999 RMB (~$688 USD).
Official social media accounts have documented the company's participation in last week's full introduction of Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards. Brand representatives were present on-stage at AMD's Beijing press conference:

Yeston is not exactly a noname brand its just not well known outside of the Asian market but they are actually legit and been around for a while.
As for the design choice well thats entirely subjective and no one should tell you if you can have that in your PC or not.:) 'Like how I'm playing cultured games and buy their merch and I don't give a damn what other ppl think about it in general'
I recall GamersNexus testing out some of their cards and they were okay with it in regards of performance and actual design. 'not great not terrible but they get the job done'
Help me out Yeston, just one dark card with a waifu on top. That's all I ask.
I like the design. I wanted to buy some hardware with different theme but there is hardly anything here available. The only thing which was available was the Asrock B650 Livemixer mainboard.
There are no offers for colorful meow edition mainbaords and no yeston sakura graphic cards here in central europe.
That glowing anime gurl stencil drawing is absolute nonsense and I like it.
unlike asus... did with the evangelion and gundam.... jeepers the price were eye watery
Or something like "I think I'll skip this generation because the uplift is kind of meh, but... OH MY GOD, THOSE TITS"?
To hell with other brands, Yeston themselves sometimes shoot their own lineup in the head. I already pointed out the dissapointing lack of the Sakura Sugar model with the 9070 line. Another self-inflicted wound was with the recent Super releases. Here’s their base 4070:
Here’s the theoretically more or less identical 4070 Super:
You might say they are the same picture. But they aren’t. Cutting down the image down as to omit thicc thighs in white stockings with garter is absolutely a haram product design play on the part of Yeston. Shamefur display.
This whole bit was me likely putting more thought into Yestons product line than anyone sane ever did. Probably more than Yeston themselves.
