AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Could Be Top RDNA 4 GPU with 9000 Branding

AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 flagship GPU is reportedly named the Radeon RX 9070 XT, as the company shifts to the Radeon 9000 branding, according to Chiphell’s senior member, Napoleon. This trajectory follows multiple reports about AMD’s RDNA 4 GPU series, which are expected to be unveiled at CES 2025, with releases expected in Q1 2025. Although early reports pointed to Radeon RX 8000 branding, it appears the graphics cards may be part of the RX 9000 series instead.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Could Be the Flagship RDNA 4 GPU with New Radeon 9000 Branding

According to Napoleon, AMD will be branding the next generation of cards as the Radeon RX 9000 series but may change it up slightly. The new GPUs will not use the usual XX00 naming scheme, but rather a new X0X0 format. This suggests that the successors of the Radeon RX 7700 XT or 7800 XT may carry a name like the 9070 XT or 9080 XT instead of the expected 9700 XT or 9800 XT.

This naming scheme puts AMD’s releases much closer to NVIDIA’s GeForce lineup — think RTX 4070 and the yet-to-arrive RTX 5070 — which is quite a departure from AMD’s usual marketing tactic. This follows the company’s apparent preference for big numbers at launch, such as with its AMD Ryzen AI series, which was once slated to use the Ryzen AI 100 branding—though pivoted to the 300 series with the intent to match Intel’s Core Ultra naming scheme.

The Radeon RX 9070 XT name is also in line with the three-digit naming from AMD’s Strix Halo iGPU — which peaks at Radeon RX 8060S. The RX 80X0 series is based on RDNA 3.5 architecture, making the move to the RX 90X0 branding for RDNA 4 logical.

In terms of performance, the Navi 48 GPU is rumored to rival the RTX 4080 in raster performance and be 45% faster than the 7900 XTX in ray tracing while consuming less power. Positioned in the mainstream segment, the Navi 48 lineup is expected to be priced around $500, competing with the RTX 5070 at a similar price point.
