Thinking a bit mor about AMD's pricing, there may be one very, very small chance to success, at least with the 9070XT, that could also explain their to be confirmed pricing: the 10% tariff in the US.

We haven't really noticed if that has already been added to the price of the Nvidia cards because, with all the lack of stock, prices skyrocketed anyway. After all, those priced were announced before Trump put those tariffs, but when it comes to AMD, because they still have to reveal them, tariffs could have been already added to the MSRP.

IF that was the case, then a $699 9070XT suddenly becomes more appealing than a $749+10%=$824 5070Ti.

But I have no problems admiting that it's a long shot, and it still wouldn't explain why the 9070 is supposed to be more expensive than a 5070 with tariffs.

I wish AMD, Intel and NVidia also had MSRP in other currencies like console manufacturers do, like in Euro or Yen, so we could see the effect of such tariffs or lack thereof.

Oh, but they do that. It's just that prices in Europe change from one country to another because we have different VATs. For example, Germany has a 21% tax while in Spain it's 21% and in places like Sweden is 25%. It's impossible to have only one MSRP for "Europe".

And, on that matter, the PSV (Precio Sugerido de Venta - Suggested Retail Price) of the 5090 in Spain is 2369€, with the 5080 being 1190€.
