AMD promises that more supply is coming ASAP Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:32:28 +0000 Description: AMDs RX 9070 GPUs should be back in stock very soon, were told by an exec though some gamers are still worried about pricing. FULL STORY ======================================================================AMDs RX 9070 GPUs are currently out of stock pretty much everywhere An AMD exec says that more supply of RX 9070 models is coming ASAP Some gamers are still worried about the prospect of entry-level RDNA 4 graphics cards not sticking to the MSRP, though An AMD executive has promised that fresh stock of RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards which are currently all sold out in the US, and seemingly most other regions besides is winging its way to stores across the globe. This news comes from Frank Azor, who is AMDs head of consumer and gaming marketing, via a statement shared on X about the launch of these RDNA 4 graphics cards. Azor assures us that: More [RX 9070] supply is coming ASAP to partners all over the world. The use of the term ASAP suggests that AMD wont be messing around when it comes to restocking RX 9070 models, and thats also suggested by what weve heard on the rumor mill recently. Namely that AMD has a sizeable quantity of RDNA 4 stock rolling off the production lines, which has clearly not been the case with Nvidias Blackwell launch since the RTX 5000 GPUs debuted at the end of January . (Image credit: Shutterstock) Analysis: Better stock prospects all round (but what about pricing?) Actually, the hope expressed via the rumor mill and it is just a hope, mind is that Nvidias RTX 5000 stock is also going to become more robust. Or at least RTX 5090 supply will increase quite dramatically, the theory is and perhaps other Blackwell graphics cards, too. AMDs Azor is generally pretty reliable, too, so we can hope that its the case that both RDNA 4 and Blackwell GPUs will benefit from a spike in supply in the near future. Notably, Azor wouldnt be drawn on MSRP pricing, though. If you scrolled through the comments on the execs latest post on X, youll have seen a few gamers calling out AMD over the MSRP, and the reported practice of only having an initial batch of (subsidized) RX 9070 graphics cards pegged at that official recommended asking price. (And that was indeed what seemed to happen at the RDNA 4 launch). Previously, Azor has addressed this issue though, and said that MSRP pricing will continue to be encouraged beyond the launch, so we should see some (entry-level) RDNA 4 GPUs back at those baseline prices. That said, words like encouraged and a feeling of slight evasiveness around the issue of pricing in the latest post from Azor leave some room for doubt as to exactly what policy AMD is pursuing here. As ever, time will tell, and with any luck, we wont have long to wait for the next batch of RX 9070 graphics cards to hit the shelves.
