At the moment, only PC gamers in China get to enjoy AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE, basically a three-quarters version of its superb RX 9070 XT, with 48 compute units and 12 GB of VRAM. However, the GPU rumour mill is fizzing a bit with a claim that Team Red is planning on releasing a 16 GB variant. If that's the case, it could be a sign that AMD is also aiming for a global release of the graphics card, possibly to gatecrash Nvidia's RTX 50 Super party.
News of the claim was reported by IT Home (via X-user Ruby_Rapids), though there aren't a great deal of details: "AMD is planning an upgraded version of the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which may upgrade the video memory capacity to 16GB to meet market demand," it says, according to a machine translation. On the one hand, the claim is worded positively about the upgrade, but on the other hand, the VRAM boost is only a 'may'.
