News AMD RX 9070 GRE rumored to have 48 CUs, 12GB VRAM, 2.79 GHz clocks — about 15% slower than the vanilla RX 9070

Leaked RX 9070 GRE specifications position it right between the premier RX 9070 XT and rumored RX 9060 XT.

The gimped memory is disappointing.

Another 8 CUs isn't small either. But these are certainly the chips that failed. Better than scrapping them.

What might be of interest is if you can do the same BIOS mod to them as the 9070 and get them to draw 300W like the 9070 XT. With even less CUs and a chunk of memory missing, there should be that much more power budget (though the GPU might not want to clock any faster anyway)

So it's...
RDNA4.0
RX 9070XT: 64CU
RX 9070: 56CU
RX 9070 GRE: 48CU
RX 9060 XT: 32CU

RDNA3.5
RX 8060S: 40CU
RX 8050S: 32CU
RX 890M: 16CU
RX 880M: 12CU
RX 860M: 8CU

I wonder if they'll bother with a 9060 XTX with 40CU, or 9040/9050 with 20~24CU. Preferably with the AV1 encode/decode still intact.

Navi 44 represents a fully enabled die at 32 CUs, so it can't get bigger.

Yields would have to be really dismal on Navi 48 to be able to make a 128 bit GPU down at 40 CUs.

There's not much choice. It really comes down to what amount of the die they are willing to disable. 25% is already a lot if yields are good, might as well axe the memory too. It may not see much distribution outside of China.

I wonder if they'll bother with a 9060 XTX with 40CU, or 9040/9050 with 20~24CU. Preferably with the AV1 encode/decode still intact.

No chance on a 40 CU 9060 XTX. That would be 37.5% of the CUs disabled. 48 CUs is already pushing it.

There is supposedly going to be no 9060 non-XT, so for a 9050, why not go for 28 CUs? Same as RX 6600 non-XT.

For a 9040, I would hope to see 75W TDP and 8 GB. I guess 24 CUs would be fine. This is the card I would actually buy, as a low profile, low power option for office PCs.

depends on how many failed gre there are. or 9070 with worse die.

i can imagine a 9060 xtx but i would think that would be oems mainly ( yes the 32 die is max at 9060xt but amd and nvidia always love to play naming with letters lol.

The RX 9070 GRE is the likely competitor for the RTX 5060 Ti. I don’t believe the RX 9060 series will be competitive since it’s still on a 128 bit memory bus but using GDDR6. So AMD must be aware and releasing the GRE as a counter solution.
