AMD Radeon 9070 XT Rumored to Outpace RTX 5070 Ti by Almost 15%
It would be fair to say that the GeForce RTX 5080 has been quite disappointing, being roughly 16% faster in gaming than the RTX 4080 Super. Unsurprisingly, this gives AMD a lot of opportunity to offer excellent price-to-performance with its upcoming RDNA 4 GPUs, considering that the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti aren't really expected to pull off any miracles. According to a recent tidbit shared by the renowned leaker Moore's Law is Dead, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to be around 3% faster than the RTX 4080, if AMD's internal performance goals are anything to go by. MLID also notes that RDNA 4's performance is improving by roughly around 1% each month, which makes it quite likely that the RDNA 4 cards will exceed the targets.
If it does turn out that way, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, according to MLID, should be roughly around 15% faster than its competitor from the Green Camp, the RTX 5070 Ti, and roughly match the RTX 4080 Super in gaming performance. The Radeon RX 9070, on the other hand, is expected to be around 12% faster than the RTX 5070. Of course, these performance improvements are limited to rasterization performance, and when ray tracing is brought to the scene, the performance improvements are expected to be substantially more modest, as per tradition. Citing our data for Cyberpunk 4K with RT, MLID stated that his sources indicate that the RX 9070 XT falls somewhere between the RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 3090 Ti, whereas the RX 9070 should likely trade blows with the RTX 4070 Super. Considering AMD's track record with ray tracing, this sure does sound quite enticing.
Of course, it will all boil down to pricing once the RDNA 4 cards hit the scene. If AMD does manage to undercut its competitors from NVIDIA by a reasonable margin, there is no doubt that RDNA 4 will be the better choice for most people. However, with NVIDIA's undeniable lead in ray tracing, paired with DLSS 4, will presumably make things more complicated than ever before. It is unclear what AMD has up its sleeve with FSR 4. Recent rumors do point at pretty good compatibility, but as with all rumors, be sure to accept any pre-release whispers with a grain of salt.

This is greed in its poorest form.
I don't think they have time to save the graphics business. Even today the Radeon department is on an artificial life-saving breathing by other niches which are included in the financial sheets in order to be not so obvious that Radeon will be dead soon.
Next news soon - AMD to stop producing Radeon cards and exit the market altogether!
AMD should give us 32GB for 2$ :mad::mad::mad::mad:

32GB for 500$ is called revolution and progress. Natural selection - you adapt or disappear.
TPU utilized outdated software and unrealistic scenarios, such as employing small models that run efficiently even on iGPUs to measure the performance of high-end GPUs. Furthermore, the larger, more realistic models typically used to evaluate GPUs' capabilities do not fit within the VRAM limits of most NVIDIA GPUs, with the exception of the RTX 4090 and RTX 3090. Therefore, it is evident that these tests present a biased perspective.(Even if it's not intentional)
**Constructive criticism:** It would be more effective to use larger LLMs. KoboldCPP (YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm) could be utilized for the image generation test, providing a straightforward way to ensure that the API operates under the same conditions. Additionally, Blender could be updated to the latest version to leverage better optimization and, maybe explore EEVEE Next, offering a more balanced comparison.
It’s the first thing I noticed, and I’m sure everyone else did too. A totally unnecessary personal comment from a fanboy not a reviewer. It stood out so much while reading that it felt completely out of place, like it was just stuck there on purpose. The review, lacking impartiality, was completely ruined. It could have said anything, and I’m sure every negative aspect was avoided or even removed.
If I were the editor-in-chief, there would definitely be a serious talking-to! In your free time, you’re free to express whatever you want on leak and rumor sites, but when you work for us, since our job is to provide reviews, there are "rules" to follow. Otherwise, our credibility is worth zero. People need to see us as credible and unbiased or they go elsewhere. What a fall TPU!

The 300A is an APU too, but the sheer size is such that 24 Zen 4 cores are sitting in one corner and the complexity is astonishing. Seeing Turin, Instinct etc always makes me think of what AMD can do, and what crumbs they feed the client side. But it is what it is.
www.gamesradar.com/hardware/desktop-pc/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-review/The point I was focusing on was the "for most people". For how long? What advantage does a 50 series card have over the 9000 cards going forward?I did mention that I would be ironic if Nvidia were seen to be more consumer friendly based on the backwards compatibility of DLSS 4
That new IO die better be something else. While the current desktop IO die struggles to get 6400 at times on 2 channels, Turin does 6400 officially supported on 12 channels populated. 12!
I think it's either rather at 5070 Ti level at $700, or 4080 Super level at $850.
If AMD suddenly realized their cards were worth way more than they charged their AIBs/retailers, etc it would be harder to jack up the price than to drop it and offer rebates resulting in this mess of a launch we see...
AMD is likely contractually obligated to deliver some amount of chips to it's AIBs and is now trying to renegotiate a higher price. Otherwise Retailers and AIBs pocket any price increases while AMD goes home with crap margins.
Likely confirms AMD need to heavily cherry pick benchmarks to show anything.
Look at the card specs, the 9070xt will trade with 7900gre in raster...
