AMD through David McAfee (VP & GM of Ryzen CPU and Radeon graphics) on X announced that the Radeon 9000 series GPUs will go on sale in March of this year. Even though there were many rumours of the 9000 series launching in January they have been shut down by AMD, there is no update on the when the launch event will be for the 9000 series of GPUs. Many retailers already received the stock of 9070 and 9070XT GPUs in early January and it has also been confirmed that some reviewers received them as early as late December which might explain the Chiphell performance leaks. If the rumours are to be believe the cause of the bumpy launch is the price pressure on AMD caused by Nvidia lowering the launch prices of their 70 and 80 series cards from the last generation. It can be assumed that AMD were surprised by the "competitive" prices offered by Nvidia and need a to revise their own pricing. A blessing in disguise is that once officially released the series should have large stock available. So hopefully AMD won’t disappoint with pricing and FSR4 will be ready as well.

AMD Is Out Of Their Minds (Based on a rumour & a leak AMD 9070 XT being priced for $899)​

This has been sort of refuted by David McAfee in a tweet where he said that the $899 price was never a part of the plan.

In other news, it has pretty much been confirmed that FSR4 probably won't be coming to the 7000 series GPUs as it is based on FP8 according to a DLL file and the performance of the 7000 series in FP8 tasks is not the best to say the least.

Also Nvidia's DLSS4 in cyberpunk and other games with quality upscaling looks better than native resolution. So it is safe to say that FSR4 will most probably not be able to compete, but still might be at the level of DLSS3

UPDATE:

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reportedly launches March 6​


Uniko’s Hardware claims to know the launch date of AMD’s RDNA4 series. This report appeared just hours after AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su confirmed an “early March” launch for the new graphics card series.
In Gaming Graphics, revenue declined year-over-year, as we accelerated channel sellout in preparation for the launch of our next-gen Radeon 9000 series GPUs. Our focus with this generation is to address the highest volume portion of the enthusiast gaming market with our new RDNA 4 architecture. RDNA 4 delivers significantly better ray tracing performance and add support for AI-powered upscaling technology that will bring high-quality 4K gaming to mainstream players when the first Radeon 9070 series GPUs go on sale in early March.

Today, we received the latest news that it will be available on March 6. The actual date for the public release of performance is still unknown. […] I have heard various dates before, including January 23 and March 23. This time the news was obtained through a reliable person (anonymous), and the official lifting of the ban may also be close to this period.

The media outlet, which is also under embargo with AMD releases, claims to have learned the launch date through a reliable source. The new cards are expected to be released on March 6, aligning with Su’s statement.

It’s worth noting that Su referred specifically to the 9070 series, not the 9060 series. While there is a chance AMD may discuss other models, it seems the launch is focused solely on the higher-end models for now.
