16 GB of VRAM will put the 9070/9070 XT in line with the Radeon RX 7800 XT, which makes sense given the 9070, if it weren't for AMD's naming scheme change-up, would be an RX 7800 XT. It also puts it in line with the newly announced RTX 5070 Ti and 5080, which will both have 16 GB of (GDDR7) VRAM.

AMD gave a brief preview of its next-gen Radeon RX 9070 and RDNA 4 architecture at CES 2025. One thing is clear: AI is a focus.

On stage today at CES, AMD announced the first major updates to its graphics IP since late 2022. That's right folks: RDNA 4 is finally arriving, and true to speculation, it appears to be squarely targeting the center of the market.
