The range of graphics cards labeled “Golden Rabbit Edition” (GRE) traditionally represents an exclusivity reserved by AMD for the Chinese market. The situation could however evolve according to an article from VideoCardz: the manufacturer is preparing the deployment of its Radeon RX 9070 GRE on an international scale.
VideoCardz has discovered the existence of new packaging written entirely in English for the Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 GRE PULSE model. This is the very first material clue, contrasting with the boxes usually covered with Chinese characters. At the same time, ads for pre-assembled computers equipped with the graphics card appeared on the American resale site Newegg. Chinese third-party sellers also offer individual copies, including the PULSE and PURE variants of the Sapphire brand. These elements could then suggest that AMD now authorizes extended distribution of these models.

Launched in China about a year ago, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE is built around the Navi 48 XL graphics processor. The architecture (RDNA 4.0) is based on 12 GB of 192-bit GDDR6 video memory, with a total bandwidth of 432 GB/s. If the native clock frequency announced by AMD reaches 2…790 MHz, models customized by Sapphire benefit from factory overclocking.
If we quickly compare with the other models in the RX 9070 family, we would have the following hierarchy:
- Radeon RX 9070 GRE: A lighter version aimed at directly competing with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070, by offering an effective compromise between visual quality and affordable price.
- Radeon RX 9070 (standard): Superior in performance, it integrates 16 GB of video memory and larger components.
- Radeon RX 9070 XT: The most muscular model of this trio, designed specifically for demanding gamers looking for maximum computing power for 4K definition.
This international opening would potentially respond to a logistical need. Recently, Chinese distributors sold certain Radeon models at a loss to empty their inventories. A global launch would allow the manufacturer to sell off existing stocks while exerting pricing pressure, provided that the selling price remains below the $550 required for the standard version.
