As we previously reported, AMD will be announcing its latest graphics card series, the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series, later this month. David McAfee, Vice President and General Manager of Ryzen and Radeon, today confirmed that the event for the graphics card series will be held on February 28.
Two graphics card models will be launched next month, including the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and the AMD Radeon RX 9070. Both graphics cards will use the Navi 48 processing chip, where the Radeon RX 9070 XT model will come with 4096 physical cores, while the Radeon RX 9070 will come with 3584 physical cores. They will also use 16GB of GDDR6 memory and will compete with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card which is expected to be launched around the same time.
This graphics card will come with the latest graphics processing features such as AI accelerators, their third-generation Ray-tracing graphics processor and AMD's latest high-resolution and frame-rate processing technology FSR 4.
There were also rumors that AMD would introduce a Radeon RX 9070 graphics card with 32GB of GDDR6 memory, but Frank Azor confirmed that the news is false. If it is true that the RDNA 4 graphics card will come with that much memory, it will likely come through the AMD Radeon Pro graphics card.
AMD will introduce two RDNA 4 graphics card models first, namely the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, and more powerful or more affordable models will be introduced in the future.
