AMD briefly discussed its RDNA 4 GPU lineup at KES 2025 leaves much to be desired. According to our conclusionsThe firm was unable to provide more details during the live event due to strict time constraints and a crowded processor lineup. Today the American retailer B&H, has placed pre-orders for Asus Prime and TUF RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs, scheduled to launch on January 23 (via torn_us in X).
Apart from the date, key aspects such as specifications and prices for Radeon The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT remain elusive. Likewise, the preliminary nature of these listings may result in them being just placeholders, as AMD has scheduled RDNA 4 for release later this quarter, at least in its keynote.
Judging by all the information AMD sharedRDNA 4 will undergo a branding change, adopting a naming scheme similar to Nvidia’s consumer line of GPUs. Likewise, the RX 9000 series will be built using a 4nm node from TSMC. In line with offerings from Nvidia and Intel, the company’s new FSR 4 technology will include frame generation based on machine learning, and that’s where the official details end. We’re still in the dark about specs, performance and pricing, although this is a tactical maneuver as Nvidia’s keynote is just hours away.
Total four already announced The Asus GPUs featured at B&H were the Asus Radeon RX 9070 Prime, Asus Radeon RX 9070 TUF Gaming, Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF, and Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime. Details are scarce; however, according to the website, pre-orders will go live on January 23 at 9:00 a.m. ET.
As far as rumors and rumors go, the RX 9000 series is supposedly based on two GPUs, Navi 48 and Navi 44, ranked from fastest to slowest. With RDNA 4, AMD is aiming to penetrate the budget market and, given the Nvidia RTX 5070’s $549 price tag, performance.RTX 4090 equivalent“, expect AMD to adjust its pricing structure accordingly.
We’re not sure about the real-world performance of the RTX 5070, as Nvidia’s charts are muddled with RT and Multi Frame Generation numbers. However, it is reasonable to expect a 20-30% increase in raster performance over its predecessor.
If AMD does indeed plan to release the RX 9070 series this month, or at least open pre-orders, expect a briefing on specs and pricing in a few days.
