Same Navi 48 die and the same 16 GB of GDDR6 at 640 GB/s as the RX 9070 XT, cut to 56 compute units and a 2520 MHz boost clock, which is where the 26 percent gap in every compute figure comes from. Board power drops from 304 W to 220 W. AMD publishes no lithography, die size, FP64 or BF16 for any RDNA 4 part.

Overview

The Radeon RX 9070 is the cut-down sibling of the RX 9070 XT, built on the same die with 56 of its 64 compute units enabled and a lower 2520 MHz boost clock. It keeps the full 16 GB of GDDR6 and the full 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which matters more than shader count for inference work that is memory bound, and it does so at 220 W rather than 304 W. Dense FP8 is 289 TFLOPS and dense FP16 matrix is 145 TFLOPS, both roughly a quarter below the XT. If you are buying for local model work rather than gaming, the RX 9070 is the more efficient of the pair; if you are buying for throughput, the XT is 26 percent faster for 38 percent more power.
