AMD has yet to share detailed information about the Radeon RX 90 series, having only confirmed its existence in a low-key manner. As a result, most available details come from leaks, such as the one from the British retailer OverclockersUK. The leak revealed specifications like core count, clock speeds, memory configurations, and power consumption.
It’s worth noting that the product page listing this information has since been removed. The specifications referenced the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs, which appeared to have identical configurations apart from clock speeds. This is unusual, as different models typically differ in areas like core count or TDP, making this leak particularly intriguing.
Radeon RX 9070 XT Specifications
Now, let’s get into the details. The RX 9070 XT, a high-end GPU based on AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, is reported to feature 4,096 cores—positioned between the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 GRE. Its clock speeds are said to range from 2.40 GHz to 2.97 GHz. The GPU includes 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit interface, which suggests no significant advancements in memory technology compared to the GeForce RTX 50 series.
Regarding power consumption, the RX 9070 XT is listed with a TDP of 260W, matching the RX 7800 XT. Compared to NVIDIA’s RTX 5070, a direct competitor, the AMD card requires 10W more power.
The non-XT version, the RX 9070, is said to have identical specifications except for slightly lower clock speeds, ranging from 2.21 GHz to 2.70 GHz. However, it is uncommon for two distinct GPUs to share the same number of cores and TDP, so it’s worth treating these details cautiously as they may not be entirely accurate.
Additionally, the FAQ on the RX 9070 XT mentions that the RDNA 4 GPU will not support PCIe Gen 5 and will instead use PCIe Gen 4. Since PCIe Gen 5 is backward compatible, the card will still function on newer motherboards, though it won’t fully utilize their capabilities.
Pricing and release dates for the Radeon RX 90 series remain undisclosed, leaving enthusiasts waiting for AMD’s official announcement.
