AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE gets global launch with 12GB memory



VideoCardz has learned that AMD is launching the Radeon RX 9070 GRE globally on June 1. The card will carry a $549 starting price, which puts it directly into the same MSRP slot as the Radeon RX 9070 non-XT at launch.

The Radeon RX 9070 GRE is not a new GPU. AMD introduced this model last year as a China-focused Radeon 9000 series card. It uses a cut-down Navi 48 GPU with 48 Compute Units and 3,072 Stream Processors, paired with 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. AMD lists memory bandwidth at up to 432 GB/s and board power at 220W.

This is the same MSRP AMD announced for the Radeon RX 9070, which has 16GB of memory and a wider 256-bit bus. Interestingly, AMD’s own comparison slide now lists the RX 9070 as “starting at $619”, so it is not clear whether the non-XT model is being moved up, reduced in availability, or simply compared using current retail pricing rather than launch MSRP. The PCPartPicker confirms that RX 9070 is now sold for $599+.
