Feb 28 - AMD (AMD, Financial) shares edged up nearly 2% in early Friday morning trading after the semiconductor giant introduced its newest Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards, part of the Radeon RX 9000 Series. The new offerings, built on AMD's RDNA 4 architecture, feature 16GB of memory and are designed to deliver high-quality gaming performance.
The Radeon RX 9000 Series incorporates third-generation raytracing for realistic lighting effects and second-generation AI accelerators claimed to be up to eight times more efficient than earlier models.
