Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29118, member: 2262"] AMD keeps shipping more Radeon RX 9070 cards as factories make extra chips. The first batch came from TSMC, which makes the Navi 48 chip, and those 200,000 RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT cards have already found homes with eager buyers. Stores have limited stock right this minute, but that should change soon. Board Partners plan to add fresh inventory each week until mid-April when supplies should catch up. AMD does not disclose how much its partners charge for these graphics cards. The company suggests prices, but partners design custom versions and set their prices however they want. Some RX 9070 XT models cost $200 more than what AMD recommends. These early sales numbers came from the AI PC Innovation Summit held in Beijing, showing people really want these cards despite how hard they are to find. The empty shelves at stores happen because factories can't make enough cards yet - not because nobody wants them. Think of those 200,000 cards as just the beginning wave. TSMC makes the special chips inside these graphics cards, and they're ramping up production right away. Soon, more cards will reach stores as the factories crank out extra chips. The sales success teaches us about making and selling top-end graphics cards during shortages. AMD hit a big milestone by moving 200,000 Radeon cards already. The next batches should help balance what stores have versus what customers want. Factories will keep making more chips, and pretty soon, finding an RX 9070 at your local computer store should become much easier. [/QUOTE]
