AMD to release 9070 GRE ?

Per wccftech.com, AMD is set to release a 9070 GRE graphics card. The article claims the card would be based on the same Navi 48 die as the 9070XT/9070, presumably with lower specs than the base 9070 non-XT.

What I found more surprising than this news was the reference to the acronym GRE - I've now heard 3 different definitions:

Golden Rabbit Edition

Global Release Edition

Great Radeon Edition

 

What exactly does GRE stand for?

 

Ryzen R7 5700X | B550 Gaming X | 2x16GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 7900XT
Ryzen R7 5700G | B550 Gaming X | 2x8GB G.Skill 4000 | Radeon Vega 8 IGP
Ryzen R5 5600 | B550 Gaming Edge | 4x8GB G.Skill 3600 | Radeon RX 6800XT

I think it was Golden Rabbit Edition meant for Chinese market only, eventually the card made its way into our midst and is now being renamed Great Radeon Edition.

 

The rumour I heard is that the 9070 GRE will have a 192bit bus, thus getting a more humble 12gb of VRAM.

 

My ""prophecy"" remains, the 9060 will come later on for low budget PCs and faithfull AM4 users seeking a replacement for the Polaris card. The 9050 will never get released, just because we are on the verge of serious competition coming from Ryzen Strix Point. RoG flow with that APU packs an incredible punch and a NUC or SFF computer will be so much more appealing to have, beating even 5060 builds. (Probably)

 

Lets wait.
