➁ Rumors suggest that AMD's RDNA 4 graphics cards were expected to compete with Intel and Nvidia's mid-range offerings.

➂ There are speculations about delays and stock readiness for AMD's latest GPUs.

➀ AMD denied the claim made by a Bulgarian retailer that the Radeon RX 9070 XT would cost $899.

➁ The retailer Gplay had previously suggested that the Radeon RX 9070 XT would launch at a high price, but Frank Azor, a representative from AMD, refuted this claim.

➂ The launch of RDNA 4 GPUs, including the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, has been delayed due to software readiness, particularly FSR 4.

➀ NVIDIA partner MaxSun plans to release GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards with both 8GB and 16GB models.

➁ The 16GB model is preferred for better 1440p gaming performance.

➂ NVIDIA is likely to launch the GeForce RTX 5060 Series in March 2025, following the pattern of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti launch.

➀ AMD has no plans to launch RDNA 4 GPUs for gaming laptops and will focus on the desktop market first.

➁ Brad Conrad, AMD's Director of Product Management for Premium Mobile Client, confirmed that RDNA 4 will initially target the desktop market.

➂ AMD's new RDNA 3.5-based Radeon 8060S integrated GPU is claimed to rival NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU.

➀ NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards are set to launch soon with high demand and limited stock.
