If those clocks can be sustainable over long hours of gaming this could be quiet a strong value card for the money. The 16GB version that is.

Wouldn't surprise me if these are just binned dies of the same chips with half turned off and then producing less heat which can sustain them clocks as I can get them clocks on my 9070XT without issue, the 8gb card is pointless and they should use them dies with the 16 gb of vram unless there are dies that have further issues where it's problematic.

Why would they bin top tier chips to sell at half the price?

Cause they are that bad it's possible some are defective or maybe they are able to fuse them smaller Idk thou of course it can just be smaller dies that are an architecture issue or limitation.

I think you are getting confused over terminology.
Binned in die terms means basically tested and very good.
These cards will not be bad higher end ones. No way. The success rate is such on smaller dies that they would never be able to fulfil supply with just bad higher end dies.
Besides I think you'll find that that is what the 9070 GRE is and what the 7900 GRE was.
It's also why these smaller lower end cards come out basically last, because they have to pay for manufacturing time to make them which will detract from more expensive products. So you'll find that once say, 9070 and 9070XT sales slow (after a few months) they will change manufacturing to the cheaper wafers (well, same wafers smaller dies).

I get your points but i'm simply saying it's possible as these are monolithic and not like the previous generations so while high yields maybe spares but of course the gre makes sense and then make smaller dies but still possible that some still end up cause amd are very good at packaging and not wasting silicon, but given new information no upgrade on chips for me until Zen 7 in a few years, my point was simple that it's possible.

I don't see how it's possible. It's a much smaller physical die than the top end family of chips. It's physically different. It's always been this way for GPUs.
Now a 9070xt and 9070? Yes those are binned.
