“What can AMD do to ensure availability near MSRP as you can get it?” This was the question to AMD’s David McAfee regarding the company’s new Redon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics card. We will come to the moment for a moment, but to provide a little context, Chinese graphics card maker Estin The AMD’s new GPUS supply will be “more stable after April”.
Although the supply of AMD’s new GPUs is not as horrible as NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series graphics cards, they still sold faster. Since the launch day, rehabilitation has been relieved and pricing is better than MSRP.
Everyone to everyone! Thank you for support! We have received a lot of messages and now you would like to inform you that the supply is unstable, but we will work again every week. If you haven’t found it, please don’t be disappointed. Supply will be stable to be available after April. https://t.co/u6ojskziqbMarch 18, 2025
The above question is context, Posted by hot hardware. And the answer? In fact, there are not too much revelations to share with Makafi. “The priority number one is restoring all our partners,” he says.
“We want to make sure that consumers are able to buy cards at prices that they expect to see in the market. We are doing our best to do so. And make sure that the retailers and airteers as well as our board’s partners are playing their role in helping them make sure.
“When we re -fill last week’s events, you will see not only the opening price points but also the entire range.”
On his face, it is not particularly important, though with AIB partner Easton’s expectations to normalize supply after April (for record, Eston is only sold directly in the Chinese market). Hopefully this will prove the matter. In the meantime, there are two more visits from MacFi’s response.
First, the RX 9070 and the RX 9070 were a great hit movie in the XT launches. “This has been a very surprising couple of weeks,” says Makafi. “RDNA 4 launched a milestone for our graphics business. The demand was very strong all over the world. “
Secondly, the graphics card market works. He explained, “There are pieces of graphics business that talk about putting products in the market, more complicated.”
The long story short, while the AMD directly sells CPUs in the market, provides a chip to the graphics card makers with GPU, who then make decisions about the various board designs to offer it, some that may be targeted by MSRP, with other features they hope they will order a premium price.
After that, the retailers choose what is the mix of different board designs they want to stock. “This is something that we do not directly control directly,” says Makafi.
Although true, it ignores the fact that AMD, including GPU shopkeepers, can commission and do their own reference design, which is sold directly to the gamers. AMD chose not to do so this time. Therefore, it certainly loses some control in this regard, but it made a positive choice to abandon this control.
What happens here is not clear. Most indications show that AMD’s new GPU supply supply was enough at the time of launch.
In fact, as I type these words, not a single AMD Radeon RX 9070 Xt GPU is in stock on the Navig, which is a large reflection of the current availability. So, the question is: How many demand is left and how many GPUMDs can they supply?
For example, by the end of this summer, will you only jump online and buy an AMD Radeon RX 9070, or NVIDIA RTX 5070 for this matter? You know, like almost every other user product? If that happens, prices will probably return to normal. But we have been waiting for the GPU market to happen in the GPU market for years now. Cross your fingers, but may not take your breath.
