Overview

• IT Home and Board Channels, relayed via the X account Ruby_Rapids, report that AMD is planning a 16GB version of the RX 9070 GRE to supersede the current 12GB model.
• The leak also indicates a move from a 192-bit to a 256-bit memory bus to accommodate the larger VRAM capacity.
• An early fall release window of September to October is cited for China, with no confirmation of global availability or pricing.
• GRE-branded GPUs are typically China-first variants that sometimes appear later in other markets, but AMD has not commented on this specific report.
• The existing 12GB RX 9070 GRE has 48 compute units and a 220W TBP, and independent reviews place its performance near Nvidia’s RTX 5070 in many games.
