ASRock Radeon RX 9070 models leak in Taichi and Steel Legend variants

Although AMD does not yet want to disclose official details about its Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT generation of graphics cards, its partners can now show their own customized models. Even so, there were still a few companies like ASUS and Gigabyte that officially presented their new GPUs based on RDNA 4. And now, we have ASRock’s Taichi and Steel Legend models, but which appeared in a leak.

As this is not yet an ASRock release, we only have images of the cards, without specific details. We don’t know for sure, for example, if we will have both the Radeon RX 9070 XT and non-XT in each variant, or if the Taichi will be one GPU and the Steel Legend another.

What appears, however, is that the Taichi version of the Radeon RX 9070 – probably the XT model – uses a 12V-2×6 power connector. This input supports up to 600W and became popular after the problems with the 12VHPWR.

However, AMD has not set a standard for its partners in terms of power connection. Thus, ASRock reserved the 12V-2×6 for its Taichi model of the RX 9070, which is more advanced. Meanwhile, the Steel Legend variant will use two 8-pin connectors.

When will ASRock reveal its Radeon RX 9070?

AMD promised the debut of the Radeon RX 9070 XT and non-XT for the first quarter of 2025, which would give ASRock until March to officially reveal its cards. However, leaks indicate that this could happen much sooner.

Today, the 19th, we had news of an ASUS RX 9070 model listed in a store in Greece pointing to the start of pre-sales on January 23rd. This is the second time this date has appeared in an international store, with the first showing several variants of the GPU at B&H.
