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:

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.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a thigh guy myself. Not that I'm looking for them on a GPU, though. :D

Now that you mentioned it, when is the HE (Hentai Edition) coming out? :rolleyes:

Blue4130I think you mean $100 USD more.
4999 RMB (baseline MSRP) + 100 RMB = 5099 RMB.

SithaerWhy does it matter what other ppl think about your choice of hardware?
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'
Admittedly, the real reason why I asked if it's a good idea to do a poll is that I don't currently have the money on hand to buy the GPU and I'd therefore have to go through the hassle of selling my current one before buying the new card thereafter. Should've been clearer about that - sorry for that.

As for the design and the whole "cringe culture" discussion, IDGAF what people think about my preferences. That was never my concern. :laugh:

AusWolfHas anyone actually gone through a thought process like "the price on that PowerColor card isn't bad, and Sapphire's cooling is superb, but... BOOBIES"?

Or something like "I think I'll skip this generation because the uplift is kind of meh, but... OH MY GOD, THOSE TITS"?
If they start making them with art like my wall art I would be 100% on board....

Team Red's recommended entry point.
Isn't team red's (AMD) entry point $599? That works out to be 4400 RMB roughly.

You have to factor in value added tax (VAT) - as reported in this article (also linked in the Yeston story). For China, AMD set their baseline for the Radeon RX 9070 XT at 4999 RMB (~$686 USD).
As discussed many times on this forum, North Americans often forgot about "foreign" markets including VAT in product prices.

Looks nice at first glance, but what's with the disproportionate hip to waist ratio?

bobsledOnly for purchase if you have no waifu.
I have to ask: What the hell is a "waifu"?

Googling offered way more than I was expecting or wanted to see.

By my understanding, it's the word single men use to describe what is known to the rest of the world as a "wife" or "girlfriend".

That makes no sense. Why not just call them a wife of girlfriend? Makes no sense.. But whatever.

It isn’t. And hasn’t been in a long while. It’s mostly used ironically nowadays, specifically often in the cases of sex/cuteness-appeal driven marketing and product design like we see here in this very thread.
Also, last few posts were some of the most boomer shit I have ever seen.

For the same reason wizards and witches don't call Voldemort by his name, either, I guess. :laugh:
