The tech world recently found itself abuzz with whispers of a new AMD graphics card purportedly featuring a whopping 32 GB of memory. Despite AMD’s head of Gaming Marketing, Frank Azor, debunking these claims, the speculation continued to stir interest. This mysterious model, speculated to be the RX 9070 XT or perhaps the more fancifully titled RX 9070 XTX, has captivated enthusiasts and rumor-spinners alike.
Frank Azor took a humorous approach to dispel the rumors, using satire to highlight the exaggerated nature of the claims. He jokingly announced an even more fantastical model, the AMD Radeon RX 90700.05XTXT Max, poking fun with fictional features like “96 pin power connectors” and the need for a “1.21 gigawatts PSU.” In a further tongue-in-cheek rebuttal, he claimed this imaginary powerhouse could rival the RTX 5090, but only in raster performance.
The rumors first surfaced from a leaker named Zhangzhonghao, who stood by the claim of a 32 GB graphics card despite AMD’s official denials. However, Frank Azor’s dismissive and playful response underlines the unlikelihood of such a card’s existence. AMD’s categorical rejection of these rumors has been more than clear and could perhaps prompt a retraction from the leaker.
As the tech community speculates what the future holds for AMD’s lineup, it’s a clear reminder of the vibrant and sometimes whimsical world of tech rumors. Whether or not AMD has any surprises in store, the drama surrounding the RX 9070 XT and its imaginary sibling will likely entertain industry watchers for some time.
