Alright, so I went to this tech event the other day—ASRock was there, boasting about their shiny new “Taichi White” Radeon RX 9070 XT. You ever just get distracted by something shiny? Yeah, same here. Anyway, I’m sitting there, trying to grasp why they went for a white theme. I don’t know, maybe it’s like the classy, techy version of wearing a tux to prom.
ASRock’s pitching this high-end version of their RX 9070 XT, already throwing out big words like, “it’s got a Taichi cooling system that goes whoosh like a gym fan when set to high.” Right? And they’re cranking this baby up to 3.1 GHz. I guess that means it’s fast—faster than your average crowd shuffling through the subway in rush hour.
So picture this: it’s a concept now, but it’s like a sci-fi movie where all the tech you never thought you’d see comes to life. This thing’s decked in white, with a triple-fan setup spinning like it’s trying out for the next Fast & Furious. The fans are 100mm, by the way—not that I really get what that means, but it sounds large enough to keep a hamster cool in their wheelhouse. LED lights everywhere too, because what’s a gadget without a light show? There’s even this tiny LCD screen to show off info—imagine that on your fridge or something.
They also showed this AI PRO R9700 Creator card. And it’s got 32 GB, which is nice if you’re into heavy-duty stuff like video editing, or, I don’t know, world domination? The fan’s like a jet engine ready to lift off, with a vapor chamber heatsink. No clue how that actually works, but I’m picturing a sauna for computer parts.
Oh, and if you thought they stopped there, surprise! They’ve got the Radeon RX 9060 XT too. A triple-fan “Steel Legend OC” and a dual-fan “Challenger OC”—sounds like a video game quest, right? They’ve got a single 8-pin connector, and, uh, clock up to 3290 MHz. Supposedly these will cost slightly more than pocket change, but not by much. Still closer to your average impulse buy, I suppose.
So, what’s the point of all this rambling? Not sure… maybe just to say tech keeps getting cooler, or maybe I just had fun staring at shiny things. Who knows?
