- AMDS RX 9070 GPUs are currently out of stock pretty much everywhere
- An AMD Exec says that more delivery of RX 9070 models “Coming ASAP”
- Some players are still concerned about the prospect of RDNA 4 graphics card at the entry level
An AMD director has promised the fresh stock of the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics card – which is currently all sold out in the US, and apparently most other regions in addition to – wings their way to stores across the globe.
This news comes from Frank Azor, AMD’s head of consumer and gaming marketing, via a statement shared about X on the launch of these RDNA 4 graphics cards.
Azor assures us: “More [RX 9070] Supply comes ASAP to partners all over the world. “
The use of the term ‘ASAP’ suggests that AMD will not mess around when it comes to refilling RX 9070 models, and it is also suggested by what we have heard on the back mill recently.
Namely, AMD has a significant amount of RDNA 4 shares that roll the production lines, which obviously has not been the case with Nvidia’s Blackwell launch, since the RTX 5000 GPUs debuted in late January.
Analysis: Better stock prospects all around (but what about prices?)
In fact, it is hope that is expressed through the rumor – and it is just a hope, Mind – is that Nvidia’s RTX 5000 stock is also becoming more robust. Or at least the RTX 5090 supply will rise – quite dramatic, the theory is – and maybe other Blackwell graphics cards as well.
AMDS AZOR is generally also pretty reliable, so we can hope that it is the case that both RDNA 4 and Blackwell GPUs will benefit from an increase in supply in the near future.
In particular, it is noted that Azor would not be drawn on MSRP price fixing. If you rolled through the comments on Exec’s latest post on X, you’ve seen a few players calling AMD over MSRP, and the reported practice of having only an initial batch of (subsidized) RX 9070 graphics card tied to the official recommended request price. (And that was actually what seemed to happen at the launch of RDNA 4).
Earlier, however, Azor has addressed this problem and said “MSRP pricing will continue to be encouraged” beyond the launch, so we should see some (entry-level) RDNA 4 GPUs back to these baseline prices. That said, words like ‘encouraged’ and a sense of easy evasivity about the issue of pricing in the latest post from Azor leaves some room for doubts exactly what policy AMD is pursuing here.
As always, time will show, and with good luck we don’t have long to wait for the next batch of the RX 9070 graphics card to hit the shelves.
