Introduction to AMD’s Latest GPU

AMD has officially launched its 9060 XT GPU at the Computex 2025 event. This mid-range GPU is set to directly compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti, matching it in almost every specification. The 9060 XT is built on the RDNA 4 architecture, which enables it to feature 32 compute units, 64 dedicated AI accelerators, and 32 ray-tracing cores.

Notably, the RX 9060 XT will be available in two versions: 8GB and 16GB GDDR6. In comparison, Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti uses faster 28 Gb/s GDDR7 memory, providing approximately 40% more bandwidth (448 GB/s vs. about 322 GB/s) on the same 128-bit bus. To draw definitive conclusions, we will need to wait for side-by-side performance comparisons.

Performance and Power Consumption

AMD has announced that the 9060 XT’s boost clock can reach speeds of up to 3.13 GHz. The GPU delivers 821 TOPS for AI workloads and consumes a relatively modest 150 to 182 watts of power. It connects via PCIe 5.0 x16 and supports DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. Based on these specifications, the 9060 XT appears to be a solid choice for gaming at 1080p and a decent option for 1440p. However, for 4K gaming, the Radeon RX 9070 or 9070 XT may still be the preferred choice.

Availability and Pricing

Pricing and exact release dates for the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT have not been announced yet. For the latest updates and detailed reviews, please refer to the original article on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/pc/amd-unveils-radeon-rx-9060-xt-at-computex-2025-030021776.html?src=rss.
