The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti differ significantly in their AI accelerator counts. The RX 9070 XT features 128 second-generation AI accelerators, which are designed to enhance performance in machine learning and AI-related tasks. These accelerators contribute to the card's ability to deliver up to 1,557 TOPS (tera-operations per second) in sparse INT4 performance, making it competitive in certain AI workloads compared to the RTX 5070 Ti[1][2].
In contrast, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is equipped with fifth-generation Tensor Cores, which provide 1,406 TOPS. While the RTX 5070 Ti has fewer AI TOPS than the RX 9070 XT, its Tensor Cores are highly optimized for tasks like generative AI content creation and support advanced features such as FP4, which doubles performance and reduces VRAM requirements for running generative AI models[3][6].
Overall, the RX 9070 XT has more AI accelerators in terms of count, but the RTX 5070 Ti's Tensor Cores are more advanced in terms of technology and specific AI workload optimizations. The choice between these GPUs for AI tasks would depend on the specific requirements of the workload, such as whether it benefits more from raw AI accelerator count or advanced AI core technology.
