PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 GRE Red Devil & Reaper Models Leaked
Industry insiders have disclosed fairly fresh theories about AMD delaying the launch of Radeon RX 9070 GRE graphics cards into the fourth quarter of 2025. Earlier leaks suggested a potential surprise arrival at some point in May (early next month), ahead of rumored wallet-friendly Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB and 8 GB models. In another bizarre turn of pre-release events, VideoCardz has acquired promotional shots of two—alleged—PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB custom designs. The online news outlet seems to have a strong "inside" connection to a source familiar with goings-on—within or adjacent to—the Taiwanese company.
Familiar images of flagship and entry level cards have emerged from an unnamed figure—reportedly, the manufacturer has reused its existing portfolio of RDNA 4 generation shroud and backplate designs. Curiously, a mid-tier Hellhound GRE card was not included in a recent NDA-busting exchange. VideoCardz believes that the exact same Red Devil enclosure—present on Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 siblings—is up for repeat business. A significant difference seems to be the reported utilization of two 8-pin power connectors (versus three on the flagship), and a minimum requirement of a 650 W-rated PSU. March-time whispers suggested a forthcoming mass production of board partner Radeon RX 9070 GRE cards; so the sudden appearance of two PowerColor SKUs seems to semi-verify older online claims. VideoCardz posits that AMD is deliberately seeding "incorrect information" within insider knowledge channels.

Okay, now this is interesting.
I really don't got much to say that I already didn't say in the previous article, but this is extremely interesting. A strong inside source. I wonder how overpriced the 9070 GRE's will be by AIB's (assuming its still releasing soon, the market might be more stable by November 11th if the other article was right about that.)
-and, if it's the same die, if an XT's vBIOS will imbue a GRE w/ the XT's Voltage and Power limits (as does on a 9070)?
No 128bit for me.
Hope good price
9000 series kicking off as a failure? No that's on you. AMD made this work.
You missed the boat, which was a razor thin 1wk window. We're here 1mon later:
That's GG no RE (for the XT). Will it happen again with GRE?
16GB cards are picking up lately. I would strongly lean YES.
If you want it and plan to get it you better be fast af boi!
