It's time for more RDNA 4 leaks, and it seems that AMD's upcoming flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card has allegedly undergone some testing with impressive performance numbers. As shared by HXL, a Chiphell thread (now removed) detailed performance metrics of AMD's RX 9070 XT 16GB against the RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super. Word of caution: we strongly advise you take this leak with a grain of salt. Even if these numbers prove accurate, the drivers are likely to improve so it's best not to draw any conclusions yet.
So while AMD didn't fully showcase RDNA 4 during its keynote at CES, the firm has promised more details later this quarter. We managed to get a sneak peek of Navi 48; the chip that's powering the RX 9070 series, measuring roughly 390mm2 roughly equal to AD103. As it stands, two GPUs have been announced: the RX 9070 XT and the RX 9070. Note that AMD's updated naming scheme positions these GPUs as a competitor to the RTX 5070 series; the same RTX 5070 that Nvidia claims can quote unquote "match the RTX 4090" in performance.
