Introduction to AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 Series
In a recent press conference, AMD confirmed exciting details regarding its upcoming graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and the non-XT variant. Renowned hardware leaker Hoang Anh Phu shared that the RX 9070 XT will carry a total board power (TBP) of 304 watts, while the RX 9070 will feature a TBP of 220 watts. This information, although originally posted on X, has been verified by Videocardz.
Understanding Total Board Power (TBP)
TBP is a crucial metric that closely resembles NVIDIA’s Total Graphics Power (TGP) rating. It accounts for the power drawn by the GPU, memory, and other components under maximum load. For the Radeon RX 9070 series, the chosen TBP values indicate a relatively efficient power consumption model, promising enhanced performance with lower energy demands.
Specifications and Release Information
The RX 9070 XT packs impressive specifications, boasting 4,096 cores operating at a boost clock of 2.97 GHz. Meanwhile, the RX 9070 will feature 3,584 cores with a boost clock of 2.52 GHz. Both models utilize the Navi 48 SKU architecture and are equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, achieving a remarkable bandwidth of 640 GB/s. They also support PCIe 5.0×16 technology. These GPUs are anticipated to launch on March 6, following their announcement in January, marking a significant milestone for AMD in the graphics card landscape.
