AMD launches RX 9070 GRE graphics card in China
After circulating in the rumour mill for a while, AMD has now officially unveiled the Radeon RX 9070 GRE desktop graphics card. As speculated, the ‘Great Radeon Edition’ (GRE) model is appearing on AMD’s website, specifically for the Chinese market, which strongly indicates it won’t see a worldwide release in the immediate future.
As noted by VideoCardz, AMD’s new RX 9070 GRE is based on a Navi 48 GPU featuring 48 RDNA 4 CUs, translating to 3,072 Stream Processors. Official clocks are listed at a 2.22GHz base frequency with a boost clock up to 2.79GHz. In terms of power, the RX 9070 GRE draws from two 8-pin power connectors, with a TBP officially rated at 220W, matching the figure for the standard RX 9070 non-XT. AMD recommends a 650W power supply for systems running the card.
Memory capacity is reduced compared to the standard RX 9070, as the GRE model comes equipped with 12GB of GDDR6 memory, using a 192-bit memory interface, with the modules running at a slightly slower 18Gbps.
According to AMD’s internal tests, the RX 9070 GRE is positioned as being 6% quicker than the previous generation’s RX 7900 GRE when tested in games running at 1440p. Regarding pricing, the RX 9070 GRE is currently available for pre-order in China at 4,199 RMB (£430). This positions it around 7% less expensive than the launch price of the standard RX 9070 non-XT (4,499 RMB), putting it extremely close to the non-XT model in this specific market.
KitGuru says: Do you think the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will be released in other regions besides China?
