As expected, at the last CES 2025, AMD unveiled the first models of the new RDNA 4 graphics card generation. With theThere are two GPUs on the way, but there are few details about them yet.
While AMD's gaming boss Frank Azor recently, the first retailers seem to already have the two graphics cards in stock. These dealers have probably started prematurely to put corresponding listings for the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT online.
- This includes the Ukrainian hardware shop “Artline”, which briefly published an unboxing video for the Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF Gaming, which has since been deleted. The portalVideocardzwas able to save screenshots of this.
- Asus also has the information that this and other GPU models will come onto the market “soon”. At least that's what the manufacturer's Turkish marketing department explained on X/Twitter in a post that was also deleted and also byVideocardzwas “ensured”.
RX 9070: Three new details through dealer leak
But the most exciting thing is probably the early release of the Greek online retailer “Unimax”, which briefly made the smaller Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF Gaming available for pre-order. This listing reveals three details that have not yet been communicated by AMD.
- This is how the base clock of the Asus GPU should be2.400 MHzamount to, in boost there are up to2.970 MHzbefore.
- Each becomes a pure chip64 compute units and ray tracing corescalled. The memory should be as expected16 GB GDDR6lay.
- According to Unimax, delivery of the graphics cards is scheduled for23 January 2025start - so there would only be three days left until the actual release.
According to the current state of affairs including the most recent rumor from those considered reliabletorn_usThe technical data sheet for the two AMD graphics cards looks like this:
| Radeon RX 9070 | Radeon RX 9070 XT | |
|---|---|---|
| Chip | Navi 48 XT (4 nm) 56 Compute Units 3,584 stream processors | Navi 48 XTX (4 nm) 64 Compute Units 4,096 stream processors 64 ray tracing units |
| Clock speeds | Basis: 2.070 MHz Boost: 2.520 MHz | Basis: 2.400 MHz Boost: 2.970 MHz |
| memory | 16 GB GDDR6 256-Bit Interface 20Gbps speed 640 GB/s bandwidth | 16 GB GDDR6 256-Bit Interface 20Gbps speed 640 GB/s bandwidth |
| Interface | PCI-Express 5.0 | PCI-Express 5.0 |
There are currently performance comparisons floating around about the RX 9070 XT in particular: With the specified specifications, the GPU should be able to compete with the RTX 4080 Super in rasterizing and with the RTX 4070 Ti Super in ray tracing. However, there is no concrete information about the TDP in circulation.
However, the price for the two AMD graphics cards, which is likely to determine the success of the new RDNA 4 series, remains questionable.
