AMD RX 9070 XT Leak Suggests Competitive $479 Launch Price

Expert Verified By

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Reference model expected to go for just $479.

Story Highlight
  • The Radeon RX 9070XT series may have a reference model priced at $479, with custom AIB models expected to cost around $549.
  • The review embargo for RDNA4 cards, including the Radeon RX 9070 series, is reportedly set to lift on January 22.
  • AMD may be trying to divert attention from NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 5080 launch on January 30.

The reviewer from Chiphell has just disclosed a potential review embargo date for the Radeon RX 9070 series in a new thread.

According to the discussion, the reference Radeon RX 9070 XT could cost $479. While custom AIB models are expected to go for $549. However, price rumors are rarely true as we have learned from the launch of the GeForce RTX 5000 series.

Why it matters: If the rumored prices are accurate, the AMD Radeon 9700XT could be a great choice for those seeking performance similar to the RTX 4080 Super.

That said the embargo for RDNA 4 cards is reportedly set to end on January 22. This date may represent the removal of the review embargo or the release of the complete specifications, for the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 9070 series.

It seems AMD is trying to shift consumer’s focus away from NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX 5080 launch on January 30. However, even if AMD’s card performs and is priced as expected, NVIDIA’s faster GPUs could still steal the spotlight.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT will arrive with 4,096 Stream processors at a Turbo frequency of 3,060 MHz along with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory at 20 Gbps manufactured by Hynix. 

That being said the new Radeon RX 9700 series looks promising, with performance ranging from GeForce RTX 4070 Ti to RTX 4080 Super. AMD is also likely to improve its chances of success with the introduction of its new FSR 4 upscaling technology, though it is exclusive to the 9070 series.

With better rasterization, ray tracing, and an improved AI-based upscaling technology, AMD could outshine its rival, Nvidia. However, only time will tell how the new RDNA 4 will stack against Blackwell.
