FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

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

Dense throughput for the Radeon RX 9070 XT against the Radeon RX 9070: FP32 49 vs 36 TFLOPS, FP16 195 vs 145 TFLOPS, FP8 389 vs 289 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.

Memory is 16 GB against 16 GB, fed at 640 GB/s versus 640 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 304 W for the Radeon RX 9070 XT and 220 W for the Radeon RX 9070. 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.
