FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both GPUs launched in 2025: the Radeon RX 9070 on RDNA 4 and the Radeon RX 9070 GRE on RDNA 4.

Dense throughput for the Radeon RX 9070 against the Radeon RX 9070 GRE: FP32 36 vs 34 TFLOPS, FP16 145 vs 137 TFLOPS, FP8 289 vs 274 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 16 GB against 12 GB, fed at 640 GB/s versus 432 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.

Power budgets are 220 W for the Radeon RX 9070 and 220 W for the Radeon RX 9070 GRE. At FP32 that works out to 0.16 against 0.16 TFLOPS per watt.

For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
