AMD’s anticipated Radeon RX 7900 GRE AIB has been a subject of discussion, and it was initially seen in an online database with a Zen 5 CPU sample. The physical product has now been unveiled, but official confirmation from AMD is still pending, hinting at a potential limited release, possibly targeting the Chinese market. Gamers would likely welcome a more affordable RX 7900 XT model with 16GB memory, suitable for high-fidelity gaming. Notable differences in the PCB design compared to the RX 7900 XT model include a narrower profile, fewer power connectors, and a distinct SMD layout behind the GPU.
