Yeston Preparing White PCB Sakura Edition Radeon RX 7800 XT & 7700 XT Custom Cards

[T0@st]

Yeston is reported to be returning to an older Sakura cooler design for its forthcoming AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT custom graphic cards, as well as a new GeForce RTX 4070 model. The Chinese brand continues to distinguish itself from other graphics card manufacturers with bold aesthetics and bright pastel colors, which also extends to its choice of printed circuit boards. The yet-to-be-released Sakura RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT models are set to be the first Navi 32 silicon-based cards to sport white PCBs and I/O brackets. The Yeston design team has made adjustments to the original cooling solution's dimensions—the updated Sakura shroud is now longer (by 3.4 cm) and a bit chunkier (refer to their diagram below) with larger cooling fans attached—VideoCardz posits that the "diameter increased from 83 mm to 91 mm."

Yeston has not published full details about specs, pricing or regional availability for their latest RDNA 3 cards—it has been quite difficult to procure their very unique looking cards outside of the company's home base of China, although Newegg has reportedly managed to sell price-inflated stock of older models in North America. We expect to see more information disclosed by Yeston closer to AMD's officially mandated launch date of September 6 for the much needed mid-range Radeon RX 7000-series entries.

Hello Yeston,

This is 1996 calling, and we want all our multi-colored-don't-count-as "WHITE" GPU shrouds back, like, yesterday......

I kind of wish they'd offer the past-gen 6950XT with the larger shroud and white PCB of their wedding sakura GPU design. Moreso since they never did release a 6900XT or 6950XT variant. Though I guess these might be the functional replacements.

Pretty cool if it truly has a white pc board, not just shroud and fans. If in the US, I'll buy.
