AMD will soon reveal details about two new Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards. As VideoCardz learned, in addition to the already expected Radeon RX 9060 XT, the company is also working on the Radeon RX 9070 GRE model.
According to available information, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will use the Navi 48 GPU with 3072 stream units, meaning a quarter of the GPU's compute units will be deactivated. The Boost frequency in this case will be even higher than that of the regular RX 9070 - 2.79 GHz, which will provide computing power of about 17.1 TFLOPS versus 18 TFLOPS in the RX 9070.
As for the video memory, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will have 12 GB of GDDR6 in a 192-bit bus configuration. Its effective frequency will be 18,000 MHz, which is lower than the RX 9070 (20,000 MHz). Taking into account the difference in bus width, the memory bandwidth will be about a third lower than the older model - 432 GB/s.
Apparently, with the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, AMD will try to fill the gap between the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9060 XT. It is not yet known for sure whether the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will immediately hit the global market. In the current situation, this would be a logical step.
The mention of Radeon RX 9070 GRE support has already appeared in another update of the GPU-Z diagnostic utility recently. So we have a small addition regarding the upcoming announcement. But no specific dates yet, except for the ambiguous "Q2 2025".
