Notes on 7 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Release date: Chinese retail deliveries began May 8, 2025; the global launch followed at Computex 2026.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Launch price: Global launch MSRP $549; Chinese AIB cards started at ¥4,199 (≈$450 per Notebookcheck).
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, Power connectors: AIB-only card; most listed partner models use two 8-pin connectors (Yeston Sakura variants use three).
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no retail reference card; port counts are for AMD's reference design as listed by VideoCardz.

Performance and Architecture

The RX 9070 GRE shifts to the Rdna 4 architecture, offering a higher boost clock of 2,790 MHz compared to its older rival. This clock speed advantage helps it push modern workloads efficiently.

On the other side, the RX 7800 XT relies on Rdna 3 and packs more shader cores, reaching 37.3 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power to edge out the newer card in raw compute capability.

Memory and Bandwidth

The RX 7800 XT provides a larger 16 GB pool of Gddr6 video memory over a wider 256-bit memory bus width. This wider bus unlocks a memory bandwidth of 624 GB/s along with a larger 64 MB last-level cache.

Buyers opting for the RX 9070 GRE receive 12 GB of video memory on a 192-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth sits at 432 GB/s alongside a 48 MB last-level cache.
