At Computex 2025, AMD unveiled the newest member of its 9000-series GPUs: the Radeon RX 9060 XT. Positioned below the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT in the lineup, this mid-range card delivers RDNA 4 capabilities at a more accessible price point.
To hit its lower cost, AMD swapped in the Navi 44 GPU—based on RDNA 4—instead of the Navi 48 silicon found in the 9070-series. The RX 9060 XT marks the debut of this chip, which we can expect to see in additional SKUs as AMD expands its range.
Serving as the follow-up to 2024’s RX 7600 XT (which struggled to compete with Nvidia’s 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti), the 9060 XT packs 32 Compute Units (2,048 cores), 32 dedicated ray-tracing accelerators, and 64 AI hardware accelerators. Built on TSMC’s 4 nm process, it boasts boost clocks up to 3.13 GHz and delivers twice the ray-tracing throughput of its predecessor, reaching a peak of 821 TOPS.
Power draw varies between 150 W and 182 W depending on workload, making it compatible with the majority of modern PSUs. It will be offered in both 8 GB and 16 GB GDDR6 versions, each using a 128-bit memory bus running at 20 Gbps.
In AMD’s in-house testing, the 16 GB RX 9060 XT outpaces the 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti by up to 6%—a comparison that becomes more compelling once you factor in pricing. The 16 GB model will start at \$349, while the 8 GB card will retail for \$299, with availability slated for June 5. Connectivity upgrades include DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b, surpassing the older outputs on the RX 7600 XT.
Alongside the new GPU, AMD announced significant enhancements to its FidelityFX Super Resolution technology. “Redstone,” the next evolution of FSR, introduces neural radiance caching, ray regeneration, and machine-learning-driven frame generation to rival Nvidia’s DLSS 4. Like FSR 4, Redstone will initially be exclusive to RDNA 4 hardware.
Finally, AMD previewed its upcoming Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper processors for high-end desktops and workstations. The flagship 9980X model offers up to 64 cores, while the 9970X and 9960X provide 32 and 24 cores respectively. All three promise boost speeds as high as 5.4 GHz, with pricing and launch dates to be confirmed.
