AMD’s new generation graphics cards continue to attract players. The company announced the sales figures that attracted attention in the event.
AMDAt the “AI PC Innovation Summit” event in Beijing recently, the Radeon Radeon 9070 series graphics cards produced with a new generation RDNA 4 architecture have achieved great success. Lisa Su, CEO of the company, said in a speech at the event that RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 models have reached more than 200,000 sales in the first two weeks after being released. This shows how high the demand for AMD’s new graphics cards is.
Intense interest in the AMD RX 9070 series
The Radeon RX 9070 series was released on March 6, 2025 and soon exhausted in many regions around the world. The RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 models attracted attention by offering high performance and energy efficiency thanks to RDNA 4 architecture. According to AMD’s statement, these sales figures are only valid for the first party production. However, now the discovery of these graphics cards is limited and the prices have also increased.
In addition, the RX 9070 XT model is reported to be offered for $ 200 more expensive from the recommended sales price (MSRP). Although AMD explains that it encourages manufacturer partners to be connected to MSRP, it cannot provide full control over pricing.
AMD’s announcement also brought up the competition with NVIDIA again. NVIDIA claimed that the RTX 50 series graphics cards have made twice as much more shipments than the RTX 40 series in the first five weeks. However, the fact that NVIDIA does not share a definite data on these figures makes it difficult to compare.
In the coming weeks, the RX 9070 series is expected to become more stable. However, both AMD and NVIDIA’s producer partners continue to regularly increase the prices of graphics cards. For example, ACER has offered the RX 9070 XT OC for $ 829, and ASUS has reportedly increased the prices by more than 50 %. AMD seems to have already achieved great success with the RX 9070 series. However, price increases and limited findability continue to be a significant obstacle to users’ access to these new generation cards.
