AMD might have shut down rumors of a 32 GB Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, but rumors allege that the Red team may launch it under a new name, the 9070 XTX.
AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XTX Is Allegedly Going To Be The Name of the 32 GB "RDNA 4" GPU
A few days ago, a new rumor popped up that revealed AMD's plans to offer an RDNA 4 GPU with a massive 32 GB memory capacity. The GPU was said to be a non-PRO part and was said to come as a variation of the Radeon RX 9070 XT. However, AMD was quick to clarify that a 32 GB model of the Radeon RX 9070 XT was not coming. However, it looks like there are still reports that a large 32 GB variant is in the works.
According to the same leaker, Chiphell's "Zhangzhonghao" who has a good history with AMD leaks, it looks like AMD may have changed the name of its 32 GB "RDNA 4" model. Instead of calling it the Radeon RX 9070 XT, the model is now rumored to be called the Radeon RX 9070 XTX. The XTX GPUs are generally the highest-end offering, either featuring higher cores, clocks, or memory specs. AMD offered much better specs with its XTX variants in the RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 generations, but RDNA 4 might be limited to just memory and clock speed bumps due to the full Navi 48 die already being featured on the 9070 XT.
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XTX (if this is the final name), would offer double the memory and as for the speeds, we can expect a small boost in clocks over the XT model with a slightly higher TDP. The card would be a strong solution for AI tasks which would take full advantage of those updated AI & ML cores on the RDNA 4 architecture.
Furthermore, Benchlife also confirmed with its sources at AIBs that while AMD had denied the existence of a 32 GB Radeon RX 9070 XT, they are still working on products with 32 GB GDDR6 memory using the same Navi 48 GPU die.
Now, although Frank Azor denied that there will be no 32GB GDDR6 memory version of Radeon RX 9070 XT, our sources confirmed that AMD is developing products with 32GB GDDR6 memory configuration with AIB partners. The GPU chip used is code-named Navi 48, the same as the Radeon RX 9070 series.
The AMD Radeon RX 9000 "RDNA 4" GPUs are going to see a full unveiling on the 28th of February and the retail launch is currently slated for 6th of March, so stay tuned for more information on the next-gen discrete graphics card lineup from team Red.
