NVIDIA is and continues to be the gold standard for graphics cards, and AMD’s Radeon cards could just never quite stack up. The bad news doesn’t end there; Intel’s recent launch of their B580 GPU makes matters much worse.

The GPUs will be built on a 4 nm process, presumably from TSMC, an upgrade from the 5 nm process used for the 7000-series GPUs and the 6 nm process used for the separate memory controller chiplets (AMD hasn't said whether RDNA 4 GPUs are using chiplets; the 7000 series used them for high-end GPUs but not lower-end ones).

A total of four already-announced GPUs from Asus have been listed at B&H: Asus Radeon RX 9070 Prime, Asus Radeon RX 9070 TUF Gaming, Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF, and the Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime. Details are scarce; however, per the website, pre-orders will go live on January 23 at 9:00 AM ET.

PowerColor's new Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper is based on AMD;s reference design and it's a sleek and minimal two-slot GPU ready for SFF systems.

AMD's next foray into the desktop gaming graphics card market was announced at CES today with the reveal of the Radeon RX 9070 XT And RX 9070.

AMD’s highly-anticipated RDNA 4 GPUs have a slightly different naming structure than previous generations, so let’s clear that up first: AMD is now naming its GPU models by 10s instead of 100s, which is why we’re seeing the Radeon RX 9070 name.

Thanks to B&H, we now know when the preorders for AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards might start -- but a lot of questions remain.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox
