At Computex 2025, AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT, the newest addition to its 9000 series. Positioned just below the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, this mid-range GPU offers a more affordable way for users to experience RDNA 4 technology.
To keep costs down, AMD opted for the RDNA 4-based Navi 44 GPU instead of the Navi 48 chip found in the 9070-series cards. The RX 9060 XT is the first model to feature this GPU, and we can expect to see more use of it as AMD expands their lineup.
AMD’s latest GPU, the RX 9060 XT, succeeds the 2024 RX 7600 XT, which struggled to compete with Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti (especially the 16 GB version) in the mid-range market. The new chip features 32 Compute Units (2048 cores), 32 ray tracing accelerators, and 64 hardware AI accelerators.
Manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process, the RX 9060 XT can reach boost clock speeds up to 3.13 GHz. It also delivers double the ray tracing performance of its predecessor and achieves a peak processing power of 821 TOPS.
In terms of power consumption, the RX 9060 XT draws between 150W and 182W depending on workload, making it compatible with most standard PSUs. The GPU will come in two variants 8 GB and 16 GB both featuring a 128-bit bus and 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory.
AMD’s benchmarks show the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB performing up to 6% faster than the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB. While not a perfect comparison, the performance gains become more relevant when considering the price difference.
The RX 9060 XT 16 GB variant is priced at $349, while the 8 GB version comes in at $299. The RDNA 4-based GPU is set to launch on June 5. Notably, this model supports DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b, an upgrade over the RX 7600 XT’s DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1a support. Additionally, FSR 4 remains a key selling point for those eyeing an AMD 9000 series card, with AMD also announcing new developments in that area.
AMD Unveils Major FSR Redstone Upgrade Alongside Ryzen Threadripper CPU Launch
FSR 4 is already a powerful upscaling technology, but it’s set to get even better with the upcoming Redstone upgrade. Designed to compete with Nvidia’s DLSS 4.0, FSR Redstone introduces features like neural radiance caching, ray regeneration, and machine learning frame generation. These enhancements aim to boost both visual quality and performance, and, like FSR 4, they will initially be exclusive to RDNA 4 GPUs.
In addition, AMD showcased new Zen 5-based Ryzen Threadripper CPUs aimed at high-end desktops and powerful workstations. Leading the lineup is the 9980X, featuring a massive 64-core count.
The 9970X offers half that number of cores, while the 9960X comes with 24 cores. Pricing and availability haven’t been revealed yet, but all three models deliver peak boost speeds of up to 5.4 GHz.
That wraps up AMD’s highlights from Computex 2025. Which announcement are you most excited about? Share your thoughts in the comments!
