AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card was supposed to be a product exclusively available in China and as part of pre-built PCs elsewhere According to Geizhals.eu, a product search engine, there are many retailers in mainland Europe and the U.K. that offer these add-in-boards. 

Geizhals.eu currently lists numerous Radeon RX 7900 GRE 16 GB models from ASRock, PowerColor, Sapphire, and XFX for €589 – €692 ($528 - $576 without VAT). For now, these boards are available from select retailers, including Amazon, Jacob, Mindfactory, and TaufNaus. Amazon and Mindfactory are among the largest retailers in Western Europe, so the availability of 'China-exclusive' Radeon RX 7900 GRE in mainland Europe can be considered as rather significant.

More importantly, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE has a scaled-down memory subsystem, featuring only four active memory controller dies (MCDs). This results in 64 MB of Infinity Cache and 16 GB of 18 GT/s GDDR6 memory, connected via a 256-bit memory interface. Consequently, the Infinity Cache bandwidth of the RX 7900 GRE is limited to 2.25 GB/s, while the memory bandwidth is reduced to 576 MB/s.
