AMD's RDNA 4 workstation GPUs are rumored for announcement at Computex next month.

Well at least their workstation cards sell poorly enough that it shouldn’t affect gaming GPU supply…

Navi 48, with its 256-bit interface, enables either 16GB of memory (via eight 32-bit channels) or a theoretical maximum of 32GB in clamshell mode, which is the exact configuration being reported here.

Yup. This is probably the limit, for RDNA4. I think no higher-capacity GDDR6 dies will be made. Also, expect the memory clock speed to drop, slightly.

At least their PCIe 5.0 will enable multiple GPUs to communicate faster.

BTW, I fully expect they'll remedy the ROCm situation for RDNA4, and within a matter of months. They're obviously working on it - just didn't get it across the line on time.

I wonder if they come up with a 9070XT 24gb or 32gb varient, will it kill off the 5080 also

24 GB won't happen, since I think there are no 24 Gb GDDR6 dies.

As for 32 GB, we'll have to see what this new card costs. But, like I said, you often see reduced memory speeds on cards using GDDR in "clam shell" config.

While im annoyed to some degree on my NON 1000usd flagship AMD gpu this year so ive stuck with my 7900xtx ..

I dont see much of a point at this point to going a 32gb gaming 9070xt 32gb is kinda WAY WAY overkill..

Now if AMD dropped a 24 or 32 GB 9080xtx or something sure shut up and take my money ..

But to truly compete ( as ive seen in vids ) they would need to change the whole die etc etc which i dont think is viable ..

Ive noticed over the many comparison tests ive seen with the 7900xtx VS 9070xt that RT is much better with the 9070xt in most cases , raster is still in the 7900xtx favor and in the odd case the 16gb Vram does hold back the 9070xt in a very small amount of games VS 24gb 7900xtx.

With all the miss steps Nvidia has done this gen and the 9070xt skyrocketing sales for the most part ( despite my NO decent flagship this gen bitterness) they have really done well so far ..

Fingers crossed they dont offer ANYTHING 8GB !!

Amd will bring us 8gb =) Because every one has a 640x480 crt at home

Well poor people need gaming setup too...
Not all can affor $1000 middle range gpus...

I was just thinking by the bus width, it could be compatible with GDDR6X, and with RTX 5000 series are all switching to GDDR7 there could be potential for the 4090 style config? just saying it could become a 7900xtx with better RT and slightly worse raster

Well, I've never seen any info or reason to believe existing RDNA4 chips are capable of more than 256-bit. They cancelled the flagship model, like a year ago. I doubt they support GDDR6X, but I suppose it's possible they added support and then decided to ship the RX 9070 XT with regular GDDR6.

I’m quite far from poor but the $700 starting point for 70 tier performance has totally run me out of this generation. I’ve always bought $500 GPUs and that’s what I’ll continue to do.

That is the point... I can not affort $1000 mid range gpus neither... so 5060 or 9060 level price is what I am willing to pay... That is why they make these bogus gpus... To have something little bit cheaper in the market, bacause normal people can not afford middle range anymore. Or at least that middle range is so far up that most people don´t consider those anymore.
But there is reason why they make these weak, too little vram models... They are made for people like you and me who put money also to car, food, education, hobbies... Not just gaming.
And no... prices are not gonna get cheaper in the future. On the contrary, they will continue to go higher...
Soon we need RTX 7050 or 7030 to have somewhat cheap gpus...
