AMD Refutes $899 Price Rumor for Upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT

AMD denies leaked pricing speculation, confirms RDNA 4 GPU launch delayed to March for software optimization.

AMD's Frank Azor stated that the rumored $899 price for the Radeon RX 9070 XT was never part of the company's plans.
The launch of AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs, including the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, has been delayed to March 2025 to ensure software readiness, including FSR 4 optimization.
A Bulgarian retailer previously suggested the RX 9070 XT would launch at $899 and the RX 9070 at $749, sparking debate over pricing competitiveness with NVIDIA's RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti.
NVIDIA's RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, priced at $549 and $749 respectively, are set to launch on February 20, potentially intensifying market competition.
AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs are reportedly already in stock at retailers but remain under embargo until the official launch.
