AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Boosts up to 3.10 GHz, Board Power Can Reach up to 330W
AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card can boost its engine clock up to 3.10 GHz, a new leak that surfaced on ChipHell says. Depending on the board design, its total board power can reach up to 330 W, the leak adds. The GPU should come with a very high base frequency for the engine clock, with the leaker claiming a 2.80 GHz base frequency (can be interpreted as Game clocks), with the GPU boosting itself up to 3.10 GHz when the power and thermals permit. The RX 9070 XT will be the fastest graphics card from AMD to be based on its next-generation RDNA 4 graphics architecture. The company isn't targeting the enthusiast segment with this card, but rather the performance segment, where it is expected to go up against NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 series.
RDNA 4 is expected to introduce massive generational gains in ray tracing performance, as AMD is rumored to have significantly developed its ray tracing hardware, to reduce the performance cost of ray tracing. However, as it stands, the "Navi 48" silicon that the RX 9070 XT is based on, is still a performance-segment chip, which succeeds the "Navi 32" and "Navi 22," with a rumored compute unit count of 64, or 4,096 stream processors. Performance-related rumors swing wildly. One set of rumors say that the card's raster graphics performance is in league of the RX 7900 GRE but with ray tracing performance exceeding that of the RX 7900 XTX; while another set of rumors say it beats the RX 7900 XT in raster performance, and sneaks up on the RTX 4080. We'll know for sure in about a month's time.

We went from new GPU architecture with lower power or higher performance and similar prices every 12-18 months to new GPUs(not necessarily arch) every 18-36 months with same or lower performance but the new GPUs can render 720p much faster, so let's increase the prices
There's no more new GPUs released for 100-250$ from amd or nvidia...you still get the same 480/1060 performance from 8 years ago though (or is it 290X performance from 11 years ago?)\
Edit: just did a quick check on 2008 vs 2016 vs 2024
9800 GTX -> 1080Ti =11x
1080Ti -> 4090 = 3.3x
Everything else is just brainwashed kids and marketing bots
About the spikes, this is about the cards only, if you add the CPUs, things become dark.

9800 GTX (299 USD) -> 1080Ti (699 USD) = +233%
1080Ti (699 USD) 4090 (1.599 USD)-> +229%
So we're getting the same price increase yet nearly 4x less rasterization performance increase.Now think of RDNA4 being only half of intended die size as chiplet failed, yet TSMC is probably charging AMD full die size for it. Ouch that's gotta hurt Lisa and Radeon execs if true:eek:
Navi 31 was simply a very arrogant, very ambitious attempt going against the basic physics laws, and the general GPU design rules.
Bias in media doesn't mean it will automatically result in lies or misinformation, it could be just omissions or over accentuation of whatever merit or demerits a certain product has.
To give an exemple from the console space, the xbox controller use AA battery, it is old technology which is bad, but you can put also rechargeable AA batteries instead and this mean the controller is less disposable if the battery is dead in hands of not tech savy people unlike Sony's one. But in reality, the huge majority of media will always stop at Xbox controller use AA batteries = old and bad. This is undoubtedly bias.
Saying bias is only tinfoil hat talk is a lie.
If it is indeed the TGP and we take into account generational improvements, my guess is that this will at least match the 7900 XTX in rasterization performance and, of course, be better at ray tracing.
:):toast::respect:
Let us suppose that the time spy score wasn't optimized and it wasn't indicative for the performance of 9070XT, regarding performance I will double down on what I said earlier, reference 9070XT will achieve max 4070Ti Super 4K raster performance (in raytracing will be at least 10% slower) and let's suppose that there will be 9070XT partners board designs with +10% higher clocks vs reference (this will achieve only +7,5% difference since the memory bandwidth will be the same between them and anyway the design is bandwidth limited with 128RBs and so high clocks and only 20Gbps memory ICs) then regarding 4K raster performance we will have something like the below.As you can see with the new info (6144 cores instead of 6400) I assume RTX 5070 will have only 10% performance difference vs RTX 4070 super but in this case it is logical to assume that RTX 5070 will be at the same $599 price.Like I said before, reference 9070XT in this best case scenario regarding performance must be $549 and no higher, below 4K raster performance:
Edit: I put in the table the $549 price in RX9070XT reference
Intel releases broken cpus, people keep buying them because its intel.
Yet Zen 5 was nailed to the cross with rusty nails even though the issue was due to Winblows.
Intel gpus have horrible drivers, people dont even mention that, since only AMD has horrible drivers.
3 or so articles about leaks and rumors about the upcoming rdn4 gpus, 99% of the comments are negative and hostile towards AMD.
But I guess that those things are figments of our imagination.I no longer believe in most of today’s reviewers.
To me, they are bribed influencers.
Granted, places like LTT might not have a choice but to take those bribes just because of how many employees are there and how much their salaries are.
Same for Tom’s and many others.
Missing on all of these, or any of them, leads to where AMD is now - downward spiraling.
Intel arc 1st gen sold next to nothing, again are you not following what is happening?
Perhaps RDNA4 is a big architectural improvement where 64 CUs can now do just as much work as 80 or 72 CUs at slightly higher clocks? Hopefully this is the case.
