AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review

Much has been said and speculated about AMD's Radeon 9070 series GPUs, so much so that it feels like we've reviewed them already. But until now, we've only had leaks and first-party benchmarks to go on, neither of which are particularly reliable. But finally, today we're taking an in-depth look at AMD's top RDNA 4 GPU to see what it's truly capable of. AMD is releasing the standard Radeon RX 9070, which is a binned version of the 9070 XT, and the full-fledged XT version we're testing today. Both are based on the same 357mm² die, manufactured using TSMC's N5 process – the same process used for RDNA's graphics compute die. The Radeon 9070 XT features 4,096 cores, while the 9070 has a reduced core count of 3,584 – a 13% decrease. The 9070 operates at 2,070 MHz, which is 14% lower than the XT version, though actual clock speeds under load will vary. Both models share the same memory configuration: 16GB of 20Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory bus, delivering 640GB/s of bandwidth. Rade ... Read full article.
