AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT pre-orders are being canceled, as $599 MSRP questioned

Retailers are reportedly canceling Radeon RX 9070 XT pre-orders, then subsequently raising the price of the cards. AMD's chief architect of gaming solution and marketing Frank Azor confirmed that the company is working with AIBs to replenish stock while "MSRP pricing (excluding region specific tariffs and/or taxes) will continue to be encouraged."

As AMD looks to regain its footing in the GPU market, this latest stock hiccup is frustrating customers, leading to intervention from the brand on pricing.
