AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE Spotted in GPU-Z v2.65.1 Support List

Earlier in the month, keen observers of Team Red activities were taken aback by whispers of a mysterious Radeon RX 9070 GRE GPU. Up until then, many assumed that AMD's engineering team was readying Radeon RX 9060 Series cards for launch in Q2'25. A source in China claimed that the next wave of RDNA 4 would arrive in the shape of a not-yet-official "Great Radeon Edition" (GRE) design; allegedly derived from Team Red's Navi 48 GPU die. Certain groups of skeptics have questioned the validity of this leak; many believe that the speculated Radeon RX 9060 XT model will launch ahead of a rumored GRE sibling.

Late last week, TechPowerUp's GPU-Z utility was updated to version 2.65.0 form—supported hardware lists were populated with several new additions. As highlighted by VideoCardz, the presence of Radeon RX 9070 GRE and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB GPUs points to potential imminent releases. In the case of Team Green, lower end "Blackwell" graphics cards are launching this week—as disclosed by insiders. AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB card is expected to release as a Chinese market exclusive; possibly as a substitute for "difficult to acquire" Radeon RX 9070 16 GB (non-XT) AIB products.

I laughed when I read it.

As for the article itself, UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hate that name......
Can we please just stick to Regular version and XT version. Good grief why is that so difficult!

They really need to come up with a better naming scheme instead of just reusing GRE and changing what the acronym means. I get they've kinda trapped themselves in a corner since the 7900 GRE was in-between product but still... kinda too late to change that now though.

They need to plan better, they don't need to have more in between products. Just stick with 9700XT, 9700, 9600XT, 9600, etc. It just makes things confusing for their lineup and confusing for people purchasing cards. Honestly, I hate the XTX name as well but I would probably take that over GRE if they had to do an in between (Like a 9600 XTX). Though I would only like that slightly better and I would still complain.

I'm not sure. I think XTX would be a good compromise as a step above XT, but its still kind of trapping them in a corner. It would be easy for a consumer to get confused what a 9060 XTX vs 9070, and the XT stuff is already a little confusing from what some non-tech enthusiast pals tell me. The same thing happens on NVIDIA too. It doesn't help when NVIDIA sometimes make their Ti's barely feel like a in-between card (3070Ti is extremely close to the 3070) or the performance difference between the Ti and next tier up is astronomical (3070Ti vs 3080). AMD isn't nearly as bad with that second problem as far as I'm aware.

Point is, the naming scheme is kinda stupid on both sides. Plus they constantly break their own rules about naming schemes anyway.

Why should I be happy with the GRE when the company played slight of hand on prices. EXPECT the tariffs to be "THE" excuse for keeping the prices up.

Yes I can pick up a 9070... @$830.00 dollars Yea 280 dollars above what was shown. This is the problem. I expect the GRE will be slotted to keep the prices up.

Please read the second paragraph; I gave credit to VideoCardz. They spotted it well before us (the news team)...even with the information "coming from the inside."

THIS JUST IN:

Sources, who want to remain anonymous, claim I am currently writing a thread post for this article. I have reached out to myself for a comment but have hitherto been unable to get an answer.

Yea they all suck at naming. I was not aiming at either, as its confusing either way and they get crazy as they begin refreshing lineups.

Either way, I want simplicity.

Proper journalism would say to credit where the info comes from even when the origin of the data is inside your house. I know it's goofy guys but he did the right thing here if he genuinely did not have a tip from the w1zzard himself.

Cheers. I would've reported this news item last Friday, but was away from my desk for most of that day. I haven't had direct communication with W1zz since earlier last week.
The news team had Friday and the entire weekend to "pick up" on this story.

Cool, now just release it internationally.

Nah, GRE is fine as it's been around for a while now. Though I liked the XL, GTO and Pro names back in the day.

XT Platinum Edition was way cooler model name than the boring XTX which came first with X1900 series.
