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.

Personally, I also think that we're overloaded with entertainment these days and a lot of us have had enough. We want quality, not quantity even if big game studios think otherwise.
You can't sell the Rx 580 for 1.000 bucks and not to expect the environment to become "hostile" (unless you are named Nvidia, of course).
AMD 45%-50% margins. Predatory pricing. RX 580 for $1000.....
More and more clues are posted to see, for anyone asking "Why do we have a monopoly today?".
1. $1 today is not the same as $1 ten years ago (this goes for any currency). The time of high end graphics cards selling for $500 or $600 is in the past unfortunately.
2. Some years back, TSMC had other competitors that were close in process technology, namely Intel and Samsung:
a. Even Nvidia (RTX 30xx) and Apple used Samsung 8nm process which was pretty good at the time
b. Currently TSMC is way ahead and their Fabs are running at full capacity
c. Many other companies use TSMC including Apple, Qualcomm, Mediatek and others
d. The AI craze is adding an even higher strain on the already strained capacity at TSMC
e. TSMC can charge whatever they want especially for their bleeding edge processes and this will ultimately reflect on the consumer (you and me)
I am not saying this to justify the absurd prices that Nvidia and even AMD are charging, but this is how things are now. If AMD is serious about gaining market share with RDNA4 cards, then these cards need to tick all the right boxes, price, performance, power draw, RT gains etc.
Nvidia will continue to charge higher and higher prices as long as there is no competition, and it seems like it will be this way for a while.
I never said Nvida is better than Amd, and if you manage to keep your rage under control and re-read my comment, you'll see it with your own eyes.
And no: invented-by-yourself 75% Nvidia gross margins, AMD data of the whoole company, and pretending not to know what happened in 2017/2018 - don't prove anything about the GPUs situation.
And I NEVER bought an Nvidia card in my life.
First I am trying to be nothing. Describing me as an AMD promoter says something about you, not me.
No, you never said something about Nvidia, you just threw all the focus on AMD.
Rage? Are you kidding me? You think I am 15? Maybe you are 15? Rage.... for graphics cards. What's next? Rage for the logo on paper towels. I am just saying that we ended up in a monopoly. You disagree? You believe that someone who describes the current situation in the GPU market as a monopoly, is doing it out of rage?
As for Nvidia's margins. I have news for you.
What happened in 2017/2018?
And I never bought AMD hardware in my life. Trust me. I am unknown person on the Internet. Obviously I am telling you the truth.
:roll:
Nvidia have best GPUs and i realy enjoy gaming using Nvidia Gpus. ❤️
But other products in the market might be better choices for some people. Some might be better with an AMD RX 7800XT, others would be better with an Intel B580 than going with Nvidia offerings at the same price points.
Anyway, get your wallet ready for the RTX 5000. That's how you will truly show your ❤️
Car,gasoline, house, living so GPU cost is nothing to compare those.
That why im not crying about prices
i use it next two years and then i sell it and buy new one
And its have to be a Nvidia again because i wont downgrade my PC
If they are actually serious about continuing to make gaming graphics for PCs that aren't only catered to AMD fanboys, then they need to do better. That doesn't mean just a $50 price drop from Nvidia prices when their RT performance is always a generation behind, and at some point it will mean needing consistent competing products across the entire stack. As it is they keep having to "go back to the drawing board" so to speak every few gens. You don't win market share like that.
November, 2020, was the last time I could get a new video card, before I had to skip an entire year!
'21 will be forever known as the year of the "video-card-market-Armageddon"!
In 2018, it did suck, possibly the same for 2017, but 2021 took the cake! I knew something was wrong when I saw GTX 1050s for GTX 1060 prices, but still wasn't bad like '21!
I accidentally bricked my Navi10 in December, 2021! But I just popped in my Zotac GeForce GTX 1660 Super. I got that card in 2020.
Then I had a major comeback in July, 2022, when I got the RX 6750 XT!I'm an Alchemist man!
Not everything fits in your stupid tech bubble. It gets invaded in WAVES by tourists, bottom feeders, sneakerheads, etc.
Everyone remembers the GME memes for a reason. They marked an event in this history.Based. :pimp:
TSMC Arizona Set to Begin 4nm Production in H2 2025, Costs Expected To Be Up to 30% Higher Than In Taiwan
Ps. Yet.
In that case obviously you don't have a reason to be crying about pricing, but considering that most people are not rich, the least someone can do is to object for the prices going up and the stagnation in performance that we see in the sub $800 market.
I have the same approach in my classroom. When a student of mine having scored 20 out of 20, rushes to say "the exam was easy" I turn to him and say "congrats, but don't talk for the whole class".
