The RX 9000s will indeed be launched this February, as David McAfee, one of the company’s top brass, confirmed in a tweet. He announced that the cards would be announced on February 28, the last day of the month… Which means that if 2025 had been a leap year, AMD would have held its conference on the 29th. Joking aside, availability has also been announced for early March!
David McAfee: official announcement of the RX 9000 on February 28!
Finally, the wait for the next-generation graphics cards from the Reds should be coming to an end soon. AMD’s Vice President and General Manager of Ryzen CPUs and RADEON graphics cards has announced the date for the announcement of the cards: February 28. We should have all the details about the cards at that time. The RX 9000 series will arrive in several stages, starting with the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. Then we should have the entry-level offer with the RX 9060 XT and RX 9060… It remains to be seen when.
By now, the leaks have done their job and we’re expecting cards equipped with Navi 48 GPUs. These will offer two configurations: 4096 stream processors for the XT and 3584 stream processors for the non-XT. As for memory, unlike NVIDIA, AMD has opted for GDDR6, which could give it a significant price advantage. The memory bandwidth is 640 GB/s via a 256-bit bus and 20 Gbps memory chips.
Finally, we expect the Reds to reveal the prices of their cards at their conference. This will be a good opportunity to see if the $599 and $499 figures from previous leaks are true. As for availability, it’s set for early March, so we could be seeing the cards go on sale the very next day. Let’s hope that sufficient stocks have been built up since mid-January.
