New insights from AMD’s Add-in Board (AIB) partners suggest that the long-anticipated Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs may hit the market by late January. Although AMD provided limited information regarding the RDNA 4 architecture at the recent CES event, various leaks from reputable sources are shedding light on what to expect.
