One might question why an RX 9070 card would need so much memory, but increased capacity can serve purposes beyond gaming, such as Large Language Model (LLM) support for AI workloads. Additionally, it’s worth noting that RX 9070 cards will use 20 Gbps memory, much slower than the RTX 50 series, which features 28-30 Gbps GDDR7 variants. So, while capacity may increase, bandwidth likely won’t.

They may be hiding the stats of their unannounced cards, but not hitting 32GB would be a mistake, especially since the 5090 has 32GB. In the world of AI, ram speed won't be anywhere near as important as ram quantity.
