AMD showcased its best-performing products at the AI PC Innovation Summit, claiming it has sold hundreds of thousands of RDNA 4 GPUs.
AMD Claims to Have Surpassed 200K Shipments with the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs in the First 1–2 Weeks
[Update - 3/18/25] - AMD has clarified the statement regarding the RX 9070 series sales was not made during the event and the original post at Benchlife has since been taken down.
AMD just held its AI PC Innovation Summit in Beijing, and we saw AMD's CEO, Lisa Su; Senior VP, Spencer Pan; and SVP and GM of AMD China, Jack Hyunh, taking turns on the stage to discuss the company's newest products and innovations. As you can assume from the event's name, AI was AMD's one of the major focuses, which seems to have taken the tech world by storm.
If you care more about the GPUs and stuff, then thankfully, AMD did talk about its recently launched RDNA 4 GPUs as well as the Ryzen 9 9000X3D CPUs. The RDNA 4 lineup made its retail debut on 6th March with the Radeon RX 9070 series launching first in the lineup. The series features Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs, which quickly sold out in most parts of the world and were in fairly good quantities.
In case you have been wondering how many units AMD might have shipped in the first batch, AMD gave its answer at the summit. It claims to have sold over 200,000 units of both GPUs and all of those were sold around the launch. We don't have the exact timeframe for this data, but hardlytwo weeks have passed. It's likely that the data corresponds to the first week or just the first batch.
At the moment, the GPUs don't have very good availability, but reports suggest stability in the next few weeks. Moreover, AIBs have been increasing the prices of their custom editions to the point where the RX 9070 XT is retailing for over $200 more than its announced MSRP. AMD did announce that it is 'encouraging' MSRP prices, but it doesn't control how AIBs and distributors want to price their cards.
On the other hand, NVIDIA has also claimed to have shipped twice the RTX 50 series GPUs in the first five weeks compared to its RTX 40 series. However, the chart NVIDIA showed had no numbers. So, we don't have any way to estimate it in order to compare with AMD card shipments.
In a few weeks, we will likely see better availability, but both AMD and NVIDIA board partners have been increasing their prices steadily over the past week. Just yesterday, we saw Acer launching its RX 9070 series lineup with the Nitro RX 9070 XT OC edition costing $829, while ASUS increased the RTX 50 and RX 9070 series GPU prices to over 1.5X for select editions.
