A new leak from VideoCardz confirms earlier rumors that AMD will bring its China‑only Radeon RX 9070 GRE to the global market. The cut‑down Navi 48 part ships on June 1 with 48 compute units, 12 GB of VRAM and 3,072 stream processors, down from the standard 3,584 on the regular 9070. It targets the 1080p gaming segment.

The leak includes a slide showing a $549 MSRP for the GRE model, identical to the price AMD listed for the full‑fat 16 GB 9070. With global DRAM costs inflating component prices across laptops, SSDs and GPUs, the listed figure may shift once the card reaches retail shelves. Analysts suspect AMD could rebalance pricing across the 9070 family. Retailers will watch the margin closely.

For gamers seeking a cheaper mid‑range option, the 12 GB GRE offers a modest performance drop while keeping the same price tag, potentially widening AMD’s appeal against competing Nvidia offerings. Retailers will likely price the card near the advertised MSRP, giving consumers a clear price point amid volatile memory markets. Early benchmarks suggest a 10% drop versus the full model. The launch solidifies AMD’s strategy to monetize existing silicon globally.
