Radeon RX 9070 XT for $ 899 “has never been on the plans,” says AMD

The week started with very negative rumors for AMD, with a Bulgarian store confirming that the company intended to charge Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. 899 for the most advanced and $ 749 model for the non -XT version. The repercussion was such that now an AMD representative appeared to deny the rumors.

It was Frank Azor, executive of AMD, who spoke on the subject. He did this by responding to a publication that brings one of the news talking about the alleged prices of Radeon RX 9070 XT.

As shown in the above capture, Hassan Mujtaba shared WCCFTech news, saying AMD would have planned to charge $ 899 for the Radeon RX 9070 XT and $ 749 for RX 9070. In free translation, Azor responds:

“While we don’t comment on all price rumors, I can say that an initial value of $ 899 has never been part of the plan.”

Unsurprisingly, however, Azor does not comment on the values ​​that the company, in fact, intends to charge for its next generation of GPUS. Perhaps we will have to wait until March to have some official information of the type.

While AMD is silent, rumors about Radeon RX 9070 XT and not XT gain strength

Regardless of the information confirmed, the launch of GPUS RDNA 4 generation can already be considered atypical. There are evidence that stores have inventory inventories for a long time, and that there was until an initial release date scheduled for January 23.

AMD never spoke of concrete dates, and has commented that the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 arrive in March only. After that, we had rumors that this date would be a postponement due to a need to readjust line prices.

This rumor has gained strength with the European store video that shows that PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Red Devil is in stock , and is accompanied by the host talking about the elevated initial values ​​of the plates.

Now an AMD representative appears again to deny the rumors. It is likely that rumors like this will not stop appearing until the company officially discloses the prices of its new GPUs.
