It seems that AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 9070 GPUs have made an early appearance at a Spanish retailer, giving us a sneak peek into the specifications of some AIB models.
With AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs on the horizon, ready for their official rollout, retailers have commenced listing these cards in anticipation of a launch that promises to shake things up. Over at NeoByte, a Spanish retail hub, three SKUs have been spotted—this includes the Radeon RX 9070 XT and its non-XT sibling, showing off options like the Gigabyte AORUS among the basic models. However, brace yourself, because the pricing listed might just raise a few eyebrows.
The Gigabyte AORUS version of AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT appears with a price tag of €1,119.99. Meanwhile, the regular Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT and the non-XT variant show listings at €1,069.99 and €889.99, respectively. It’s crucial to highlight that these figures are likely placeholders and not the final prices. We’re banking on a much lower MSRP, ideally in the $300-$1,000 range. Despite the pricing oddities, these listings have confirmed some of the rumored specifications of the RX 9070 GPUs, aligning with previous speculations. If you want a closer look, the listings are accessible through NeoByte.
NeoByte isn’t the only retailer jumping the gun. A shop in the Philippines called Netcodex has put up a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB card for approximately $530. This price could be a hint at what we might realistically expect once the cards officially drop. Recently, AMD’s Frank Azor indicated in an interview that the RX 9070 lineup is slated to hit the market within the $300-$1,000 range. Since these cards are positioned to rival NVIDIA’s 70-class and 80-class offerings, we can likely expect AMD to make an assertive move in pricing, especially if they aim to secure a stronghold in the mainstream segment.
The buzz around the mainstream GPU market is set to surge as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are all racing to deliver the best bang for the buck. For tech enthusiasts and gamers, the competition is set to become more intense and undoubtedly more thrilling.
