Blending gaming and sensory indulgence, Yeston has unveiled its latest Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards—hardware that powers high-octane gameplay and fills your space with curated scents. Dubbed the
Sakura Atlantis and Sakura models, these AMD RDNA 4-powered GPUs integrate fragrance modules, transforming rigs into multisensory experiences. The Sakura Atlantis variant promises an "ocean breeze" aroma, while the standard Sakura model offers a floral bouquet. Tech reviewers at Gamers Nexus tested these claims, humorously comparing the Atlantis's scent to a mix of car air fresheners, mall perfume samples, and freshly laundered fabric. Despite marketing's poetic descriptions, the team emphasized scent subjectivity.
Yeston's design cleverly places the fragrance cartridge near the GPU fan, dispersing odors as airflow circulates. However, the novelty comes with caveats: replacing the module requires complete disassembly, a daunting task even for seasoned builders. Yeston has not clarified if refills will be sold separately, leaving users wondering about long-term viability. Aesthetically, the cards continue Yeston's anime-inspired legacy, featuring pastel hues and a "waifu" character adorning the backplate—a nod to ATI's iconic Ruby mascot. Underneath the whimsy, both models boast identical specs, including a 5% higher game clock than reference designs, triple 8-pin power connectors, and modern display outputs. Priced between $869 and $899, these limited-edition GPUs are currently scarce, with restocks anticipated post-April. While ASUS previously experimented with scented laptops, Yeston's approach feels more refined, albeit niche. Whether a gimmick or genius, Yeston's fragrant foray challenges norms, proving not everything is in looks and performance. After all, why shouldn't your gaming marathon smell as good as it looks?
