Instead of launching an entirely new product to go head-to-head with the best graphics cards on the market, AMD did the next best thing. The chipmaker has decided to make the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, once a China-exclusive SKU, available worldwide. Announced at Computex 2026, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE will hit global retail shelves on June 2 for $549.
The Radeon RX 9070 GRE features the same 4nm Navi 48 silicon found inside the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT. The primary differentiator among these models is the number of enabled Compute Units (CUs), which directly affects their graphical performance. The Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT are equipped with 56 and 64 RDNA 4 CUs. In contrast, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE has only 48 CUs, which is 14% fewer than the Radeon RX 9070 and around 25% fewer than the Radeon RX 9070 XT.
