AMD’s big RX 9070 launch might happen later in February – and we could find out how these GPUs compare to the Nvidia RTX 5070

Rumor has it there’ll be a press event for AMD RX 9070 GPUs at the end of February.

This should be a big reveal, hopefully complete with pricing details.

It makes sense that it’d come just ahead of a confirmed on-sale date of March for the RX 9070 and its XT sibling.

AMD’s RX 9070 models might be formally revealed later in February, a new rumor indicates, ahead of the scheduled March arrival for these graphics cards.

Harukaze5719 on X noticed that Benchlife. A Chinese tech site, posted this info in a story that was primarily about Nvidia’s incoming RTX 5070 GPUs, which will be direct rivals for the RX 9070 cards. (Although AMD’s next-gen GPUs are potential RTX 5070 killers, if some rumors are right).

AMD will hold a press conference for the RX 9000 series based on the RDNA 4 GPU architecture at the end of February 4, 2025.

We’re told that the current plan is for AMD to “hold a press conference for the Radeon RX 9000 series” at the end of February, but. The exact details are still to be confirmed.

I’d advise a thick coating of seasoning with this one due to the way the nugget of info is crowbarred in at the end of the article, and the fact that this is translated. Also, Benchlife isn’t top of our list of reliable sites for rumors, but that presented, it has got things right in the past – and this makes some sense, as I’ll discuss next.

Analysis: Pricing details for RDNA 4. ASAP, please.

Furthermore, the way this rumor is phrased (again, remember the translation leaves some room for doubt) is that things still sound rather up in the air for RDNA 4. However, it is AMD’s intention to debut these RX 9070 GPUs in March as that has been formally introduced as an on-sale date, not just a reveal.

Team Red subsequently noted that more time was being taken to hone elements like GPU drivers and FSR 4 support, as well as ensuring healthier stock levels for the RX 9070s, which sounds like a good idea to me. Particularly given how the Nvidia Blackwell launch has gone (terribly, stock-wise).

If we are looking at March for the RX 9070 graphics cards to be on shelves, some kind of formal announcement should come before that (AMD has promised a launch event too – indeed, it was rumored for late January at one point). And so a late February timeframe does make sense in that light, but we still need to maintain an appropriate level of skepticism here.

The big hope is that we’ll get some pricing details with that reveal in possibly a few weeks’ time. As those MSRPs will be absolutely key in how these RDNA 4 graphics cards stack up to Nvidia’s RTX 5070 models. Although AMD has made another promise here, too, namely that RDNA 4 will be very competitively priced, and so we can hope the RX 9070 models will really pack a value punch in the mid-range of the GPU spectrum.

Right now. All we have is a lot of promises, though. We just need to hope that they manifest into a reality of AMD gunning for Nvidia’s mid-range Blackwell offerings in a big way, as that should force Team Green to be more competitive, too.

Apple is rumored to have taken another key step towards making a foldable iPhone

The folding iPhone is apparently another step closer.

Apple may be about to choose a display supplier.

Previously Apple had struggled to find a satisfactory display.

Apple hasn't officially noted there's a folding iPhone on the way, but. The number of leaks we've come across about such a device make it very likely that it's in development – and there's another rumor to investigation on today.

Well-known tipster Yeux1122 (via MacRumors) says that Apple is now close to deciding on a manufacturing partner to produce the folding displays for the folding iPhone. That's based on information from findings in Apple's supply chain.

Building on these developments, there's not too much more information here, but there is a suggestion that some parts suppliers are now getting close to the standard required by Apple in terms of the folding display and the mechanisms that underpin it.

Previously. We have heard that the foldable iPhone project was on the verge of being cancelled, because Apple couldn't get a bending screen it was happy with. It would seem those obstacles may now have been overcome.

There have been plenty of earlier rumors around a folding iPhone. Back in November, we got news that the device had gone past the concept stage and was actively being worked on as a physical product that would ship to consumers.

More not long ago, we've heard talk that the folding iPhone would have a main display and. A smaller inch cover screen. The same source predicted a launch window sometime in 2026 for this long-awaited smartphone.

Other predictions had suggested 2025 could be the year of the foldable phone from Apple, but. As we're now into February that seems less likely. Exactly what style of foldable we'll get – book-style or flip-style – remains to be seen.

While Apple hasn't yet launched a folding iPhone, the foldable market has seen plenty of new and high-end devices appear over the last 12 months – including the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Sony needs a bit of gentle encouragement with the PlayStation 5, and this rumored Steam console from Valve might be the perfect answer for that

Valve is rumored to be working on a Steam console.

Building on these developments, the rumors suggest that the console will utilize AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 Radeon RX 9070 GPU.

Building on these developments, this could provide some much-needed competition within the home console market.

Valve’s Steam is the topic of the day yet again - and no, it’s not regarding the Steam Deck 2 rumor that was not long ago shot down by Valve - but rather another rumor that further hints at the gaming giant becoming a true force in the hardware market.

As . The new rumor stems from HandleDeck on X (relayed by a Spanish leaker known as extas1s) and indicates Valve is currently working on a 'Steam console', which could use AMD’s new RDNA 4 Radeon RX 9070 GPU. No, this probably isn't a triumphant return of the failed Steam Machines.

This would be huge, as it could mean gamers would have the option of a hybrid gaming console/PC experience since it would likely adopt the Steam Deck’s SteamOS - the PS5 and Xbox Series X already both use RDNA 2 architecture, so this would be great competition for both Sony and. Microsoft - if it's true, of course. Based on the rumors of FSR 4 being , it could spell great news for those looking for the latest and greatest away gaming performance from Nvidia’s hardware.

The reasoning behind this suggestion is that Valve is reportedly working on driver support for the RX 9070 GPU - considering that GPU's supposedly midrange market position (which, granted. We can't clarify until it actually launches), it wouldn’t be too far of a possibility here. Again, this is still just a rumor so take it with a hefty pinch of salt, but since the Steam Deck 2 isn’t coming anytime soon, it would make sense that this is what Valve is targeting next.

This could be the necessary push Sony needs regarding the PlayStation 5.

For a long while now, Sony has pushed forward with certain decisions that haven’t sat well with fans - notably its recent mid-generation upgrade with the PS5 Pro. With many gamers upset by its $ / £ / AU$1,199 price tag. In my opinion, there haven't been many truly jaw-dropping games during the PS5 era (especially compared to the PS4’s large collection of blockbuster titles), and this is doubly evident with the numerous remasters and remakes for games that simply don’t need that treatment.

With a Steam console, players would have access to a bigger library of games (thanks to the Steam storefront). And this even includes some former PlayStation exclusives that have now made their way to PC. We’ve heard rumors and suggestions that highly anticipated titles like GTA 6 aren’t guaranteed to run at 60fps on the PS5, too.

If a Steam console launches with a powerful CPU to tag alongside AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 GPU, this will certainly give the PS5 a run for its money, and. Leave Sony forced to step up its game - so I'm really hoping that there's a grain of truth to this particular rumor.

Nintendo has confirmed that it's already preparing for Switch 2 scalpers.
