The RX9000 series is AMD’s best-selling GPU ever, but supply problems remain

[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, AMD’s newly launched Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards have caused a wave of craze in the market. However, its supply problems have also surfaced.

AMD CEO Lisa Su has had a mixed month this month. Fortunately, the Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards have been selling like hotcakes since their launch, with sales in the first week reaching 10 times that of the previous generation. Su Zifeng said that this “huge success” shows that gamers still prefer graphics cards with “the best gaming performance” and “reasonable prices”. However, the worry is that as soon as these graphics cards hit the shelves at retailers, prices inexplicably skyrocketed, making “reasonable prices” out of reach.

In an interview with ASUS China executives, Su Zifeng claimed that the RX 9000 series is AMD’s best-selling GPU ever. However, if “success” is measured by the speed at which “scalpers” clear their inventory, this statement may be true. Although the official suggested retail price (MSRP) starts from US$549 for the RX 9070 and US$599 for the XT version, the actual market price is much higher than this, and that is only if players can find a graphics card that has not been resold by scalpers at high prices on second-hand platforms.

Su Zifeng insisted that AMD is “increasing production efforts” to meet market demand and break the monopoly of scalpers. But for gamers who have been through a similar situation, they may prefer to set their expectations somewhere between “maybe next month” or “just buy a console.”

In addition, Su Zifeng also revealed that more graphics cards based on the RDNA 4 architecture are under development, but she avoided talking about whether the long-rumored RX 9060 will be unveiled. There is news that the RX 9060 is expected to be released in the second quarter and launch multiple SKUs (that is, different versions of the same graphics card), but until AMD officially confirms these, these are just rumors.
