The custom Radeon RX 9070 XT is reportedly capable of 3.1 GHz+ frequencies and will hit over 300W+ XD. Based on previous leaks, it appears that RX 9070 XT going to be as power-hungry after both these leaks, but likely bringing much more performance. Although it is likely the core specs have remained similar, AIB (Add-In-Board) versions of the graphics card may break higher in clock speeds and power consumption.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Leaked to Reach 3.1 GHz Boost Clock and 70W Higher TBP on Custom Models
The top single GPU is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, which is said to run at a boost clock between 3.0-3.1, and the mid which will be at 2.5 or lower. According to leaker “zhangzhonghao” (via @9550pro), AIB variants are primed to increase on this significantly, with custom editions setting at a TBP of around 330W — a 70W increase over the reference edition.
The reference model’s power levels are already roughly equivalent to the RTX 4070 Ti and its Super counterparts, but with a TBP of 330W, the RX 9070 XT would exceed that of the RTX 5070 Ti GPU. While the RX 9070 XT is pegged to match the RTX 4080 in a few benchmark titles, the estimated performance is within 5% of the aforementioned team green GPU, according to the leaks. That would mark a huge improvement over early testing, which was reported to beat the RX 7900 GRE.
Though performance specifics remain unconfirmed and direct comparisons/benchmarks aren’t yet available, the leaker’s credibility indicates this may be accurate. If that turns out to be the case, the RX 9070 XT at a rumored $600-$649 is a tempting proposition.
The RX 9070 XT is expected to be the flagship model, based on the RDNA 4 architecture, featuring 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit bus and the full Navi 48 GPU die. Lower-tier versions will likely use a cutdown version of the Navi 48 GPU or the Navi 44 for budget and mid-range cards.
FAQs
