Report mill: AMD is anticipated to release its RDNA 4 graphics cards next year, and current leakages are currently offering us with some concept about what to anticipate. A brand-new report recommends that the reported flagship, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, might have an increase clock of as much as 3.1 GHz and a TBP (Total Board Power) in between 260W and 330W, depending upon the design.
The info originates from tipster Zhangzhonghao, who declared on Chinese hardware online forum Chiphell (through @ 9550pro) that the referral variation of the 9070 XT will have a TBP of around 260W, with custom-made designs perhaps ranked as much as 330W. The leaker included that the card’s base clock will be 2.8 GHz, while the increase frequency will be around 3.0 to 3.1 GHz.

The RDNA 4 cards will take on Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5000-series designs, which are likewise anticipated to release early next year. If the details is right, the 9070 XT will likely sit in between the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 in regards to power intake. Zhangzhonghao went on to state that the RX 9070 XT’s efficiency is within 5 percent of the RTX 4080 in particular video games, however did not supply anymore information.
Another leakage from previously today appears to have actually exposed the 3DMark Time Spy results for the 9070 XT. According to an X post by @All_The_Watts, the card notched up a rating of 22,894 points, recommending that it is just 2 percent much faster than the RX 7900 GRE and much slower than the RX 7900 XT.

This specific leakage requires to be taken with a generous scattering of salt. Artificial criteria do not constantly inform the entire story, so we’ll need to await the 9070 XT’s real-world video gaming standards to get a much better concept about its efficiency. 3DMark does not constantly show the right names of unreleased graphics cards, so it is skeptical whether these numbers are for the 9070 XT.
Current leakages have actually exposed that AMD will avoid the Radeon RX 8000 classification for its next-gen RDNA 4 GPU lineup, and will rather market them under the Radeon RX 9000 branding. The 9070 XT will be the flagship RDNA 4 design, however it will likely contend versus mid-range RTX 5000-series cards rather of the high-grade RTX 5090.
