AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Available Now According to Out-of-date Advertising

T0@st · 2025-01-23T16:37:15+0000

PC hardware enthusiasts located in Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom have stumbled upon amusingly out-of-date AMD Radeon RX 9070 series GPU advertising.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across retail networks, and finalized units have been unboxed—today's advertised claim of "immediate availability" is no longer valid, but many folks hoped for a pre-January 30 kick-off.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.

Means it was going to release today, and they paid for ads in advance. Ouch

This should tell you everything you need to know about this company.

Fire Frank and the flip the marketing team upside down. Frank always speaks like he is half buzz on miller lite, has no energy for anything and is reactive in his marketing. Apparently, he is even lazy.

Agreed, I think whole marketing team needs firing and Radeon needs a new strategy, not sure if it's just Frank or the whole Radeon division is just terribly disorganized.

What ads? It's an X post from AMD themselves, someone didn't get the word and posted it today.

People were getting ads with this banner. It even had a link to go buy them. Read the reddit thread.

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.

Lmao!!!!

That's all I got.

Right hand is nose picking while the left is ass scratching, neither of them know what the other is doing.

Crazy days man.

Pinky and the Brain: trying to conquer the world since '95.
AMD: trying to conquer the dGPU market since '06.

Success rates are so far identical.

Are you serious? Are you really that shallow? This tells us absolutely nothing important. Nothing unless you planned on buying only the 9070xt this week and are planning on dying by next month. I am sure that's not the case.

"No no guys we definitely didn't recoil in fear and trip over our own heels in retreat at the announcement of the 5070! We're, uh, we're optimizing. Yeah that's it! We just need more time to optimize the cards before we launch them. Definitely a planned approach with no hiccups, pay no attention to the piles of promotions, advertising, and media coverage we already paid for in preparation for the original launch date. We actually totally definitely meant to do this."

As embarrassing the marketing department is, I don't get the comments that his is the worst ever.

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.

Or they know 5070 will be a paper launch and they adjusted to take advantage.

Whatever the reason is AMD decided to hold off until after the 5070, the marketing team probably massively messed up and its an interesting decision but it doesn't mean AMD is screwed like some people want to believe. Marketing teams seem to be very stupid, especially with all the AI nonsense marketing on tech products.
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".

Buy today delivery end of march start of April XD

I actually like the way Frank speaks. I don't want emotion, I want details. The interview one of the new sites had with him on RDNA 4 was worth a million times more than any presentation at CES.

I agree about the marketing team, though. It's not good.

I don't understand why people buy products based on marketing. I mean, it's the product you're buying, not some poster, right?
