    AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Listed On Amazon - One Buyer Snags a Unit

    These prices suggest RTX 5080 performance level. Let's wait and see. If the performance is around RX 7900 GRE, then these are scalper prices. Sometimes there are scalper prices. :kookoo:

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Listed On Amazon - One Buyer Snags a Unit

    8 GB less VRAM, same power consumption, same price. This is an obvious downgrade. This is a mid-range card in an enthusiast-level retail packaging, with a steep enthusiast-level pricing, enthusiast-level power consumption, but mediocre features and mediocre performance. It's not worth it.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Listed On Amazon - One Buyer Snags a Unit

    The market will never accept this price. AMD is not in a position to dictate so high prices - it is an underdog with declining market share - in the notebook section it is almost non-existent. The cards with only 16 GB will be DOA. The end of the Radeon division is just around the corner.

    AMD Plans Aggressive Price Competition with Radeon RX 9000 Series

    I'm also talking about the MSRP, which was influenced by covid and mining-driven demand. You think AMD didn't take into account these important market factors? I don't think so! There are two cards between the RX 6700 XT and RX 6800 XT - namely RX 6750 XT and RX 6800. Why do you skip them ?

    AMD Plans Aggressive Price Competition with Radeon RX 9000 Series

    Neither. RX 6700 XT didn't get a proper pricing, because of mining craze and covid. Its real pricing was 100$ less, or $379. RX 7800 XT is a wrong name for something which should have been named RX 7750 XTX or RX 7800.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT "Red Devil" AIB Card Leaks With 900-watt PSU Requirement

    Back in 2008, 2009 the high-end Radeon HD 4800 series was below $200. $400 is 100% inflation. How much inflation do you want? 1000%? This is a joke? Right?

    AMD to Build Next-Gen I/O Dies on Samsung 4nm, Not TSMC N4P

    You research the AMD DDR5 support in 2024. I will give you a hint: That's the goal. AMD needs to become competitive. Innovation and better products are the way to achieve this.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT "Red Devil" AIB Card Leaks With 900-watt PSU Requirement

    If you go for comparisons, RTX 5090 is the "ferrari", this here is like lower-end Skoda. AMD is scalping hard, inflation also strikes badly. This GPU should cost not more than 400$. Period.

    AMD to Build Next-Gen I/O Dies on Samsung 4nm, Not TSMC N4P

    Should be 7500/8000 MT/s as lowest. Won't work. You need 8 or 16 CUs with the new architecture post-RDNA (a.k.a. "RDNA 5"). And a new VCN/DCN with 16K@120Hz support.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT "Red Devil" AIB Card Leaks With 900-watt PSU Requirement

    It also means high electricity bills, expensive to own, and terrible power efficiency. It is an absurd. They have the best interest to offer a 250-watt card, no matter the performance deficit, if it be 1 percent, or 2 percent. :kookoo:

    AMD to Build Next-Gen I/O Dies on Samsung 4nm, Not TSMC N4P

    AMD must move all of the chips to Samsung - better, cheaper and available..

    Processors in EU Retail Channel Could Lose "Unnecessary Packaging," Possibly even Stock Coolers

    Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 9070 Series Promo Images Leaked Online

    The exhaust openings are too far away from the chip. The openings should be cut in the PCB right next to the GPU but on the left side, so the direct aiflow will hit the GPU and cool accordingly. Of course, with such a design, the PCB must be longer and the components (power delivery circuitry...

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Could Get a 32 GB GDDR6 Upgrade

    The general Radeon performance for compute is extremely poor. This is not the card for you, then. Buy the RX 7900 XTX instead! Not enough AMD software support, either.

    Proposed new Power Connector

    I am not sure that two 8-pin connectors won't be sufficient to withstand up to 1000W power draw? Are there tests which actually have shown that there was a need for a new connector? If so, there are two options: 1. Set an upper TDP limit of 250W - I'm looking at you greedy black leather :D 2...
