Leaked specifications and retailer listings suggest that AMD's upcoming RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs could feature impressive specifications, possibly rivalling the RTX 4070 series.
After a period of quiet regarding AMD 's RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPU s at CES 2025, the rumor mill is starting to churn with exciting possibilities. While nothing is official yet, a collection of leaks and retailer listings point towards some intriguing specifications. One of the most consistent pieces of information across multiple sources is the RX 9070 XT's potential CU (Compute Unit) count of 64.
This would place it between the Radeon RX 7800 XT (57 CUs) and RX 7900 XT (84 CUs) in terms of shader cores. A significant leap, however, could be seen in its boost clock speed. Both the Overclockers listing and a mysterious unnamed leak suggest a boost clock of 2,970 MHz for the RX 9070 XT, surpassing both the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT by several hundred MHz.Adding to the speculation, numerous reports corroborate the inclusion of 16 GB of VRAM. This aligns with previous leaks and the latest listings, painting a vivid picture of a powerful GPU. However, while several leaks point towards a January 22 reveal and January 24 release, these dates seem unlikely based on information obtained by PC Gamer.The most exciting prospect, assuming these specifications hold true, is the potential for the RX 9070 series to rival the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 Ti. Coupled with AMD's new and improved frame generation technology and enhanced ray tracing capabilities compared to previous RDNA generations, the RX 9070 XT with 64 CUs, a boosted clock speed of 2,970 MHz, and 16 GB of VRAM could be a compelling choice for gamers, particularly if the pricing is competitive.
