AMD Radeon and Ryzen general manager has clarified why the RX 9070 and 9070 XT have been pushed back to a March launch after pushback online

The Radeon RX 9000 Series, a new generation of GPUs based on AMD's new RDNA 4 architecture that will include at least two models—the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT—will be available for purchase beginning this March,

If leaked pricing for AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is accurate, it could mean Nvidia has a fight on its hands especially against the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti.

In a couple of tweets, AMD elaborates on the reasons for the relatively late launch of the Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs.

AMD's upcoming RX 9070 series GPUs are slated to officially arrive in March with a wide assortment of cards being made available at launch.

AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 XT 'RDNA 4' graphics card launch will be 'bumpy' due to price pressure from NVIDIA and its new GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs.

CES 2025 set up an old-fashioned graphics card battle between Nvidia and AMD, even if the latter showed up a little late. We know when the new RTX 50 series GPUs will debut (at the end of January) and we now know when AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT cards will hit store shelves: March.
