AMD unveils Radeon RX 9060 XT at Computex 2025
AMD has unveiled its 9060 XT GPU at Computex 2025. The midrange GPU will be the clear competitor to Nvidia's 5060 Ti and goes toe-to-toe with it on almost every spec. Built on AMD's 4-nanometer RDNA 4 silicon , the 9060 XT will pack 32 compute units, along with 64 dedicated AI accelerators and 32 ray-tracing cores.
Notably, the RX 9060 XT will ship in 8GB and 16GB GDDR6 versions, whereas Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti uses faster 28 Gb/s GDDR7, delivering roughly 40 percent more bandwidth (448 GB/s vs. approximately 322 GB/s) on the same 128-bit bus. We'll have to wait for some side-by-side performance comparisons before drawing any strong conclusions from those specs.
AMD has listed the 9060 XT's boost clock at speeds up to 3.13 GHz. The GPU boasts 821 TOPS for AI workloads and will draw a modest 150 to 182 watts from the board. The card will connect via PCIe 5.0 x16 and supports the now-standard DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. Based on these initial specs, the 9060 XT should be a solid entry for games running at 1080p and a decent option for those at 1440p. Those wishing to play at 4K should still opt for the Radeon RX 9070 or 9070 XT .
Pricing and exact release timelines have not yet been announced.

Big Tech Is Back in S&P 500 Driver's Seat as Profit Engines Hum
The same technology giants that helped drag the S&P 500 to the brink of a bear market in April are giving the recovery in US equities some legs. Nvidia Corp. put a bow on a better-than-expected earnings season for Big Tech last week by delivering a strong outlook for revenue, despite US restrictions on sales of its chips in China. With Nvidia and Microsoft Corp. rallying back to the cusp of record highs, traders are betting the group is poised to lift the broader market.

What Wall Street might be missing on Nvidia
Decoding a public company's earnings report in the 24 hours after its release could be maddening. Here's why. A company that beats on sales and earnings estimates could see its stock pounded after one slip of the tongue from a CEO or CFO on the earnings call (which you can now listen in on with Yahoo Finance). Look at the 20% plunge Gap's (GAP) stock took on Friday after the company reported across-the-board beats but issued a tariff warning many should have seen coming. Gap CEO Richard Dickson made a compelling case on the state of the business on Yahoo Finance. A company that misses on sales and earnings estimates could see its stock price skyrocket as analysts and investors reason 'bad news' like this was 'priced into the stock' months ago. What was not priced in? The positive hype about future growth on the earnings call. Maddening. I have generally been on the side of the fence that says companies don't deserve passes for missed numbers or bad quarters that weren't properly guided. The numbers are the numbers. You assess them, crunch them, ponder them further, repeat this process 75 more times, and make a decision on the stock. It's not rocket science. To that end, I don't believe AI chip darling Nvidia (NVDA) fully deserves the free pass it got this week for a confusing quarter that was un-Nvidia-like. It reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.81, compared to estimates of $0.93, though the company posted a second (adjusted) EPS figure of $0.96 after excluding "H20 charge and related tax impact." In other words, the $0.96 figure represents what Nvidia would've made had its China business not gone poof courtesy of Trump's chip export control — a reality that does not exist. Nvidia has earned a legion of fans on Wall Street through years of strong execution and fundamentals. Analysts have been quick to 'exclude' the fall of its once lucrative China business. Every single research note after the results was chock-full of "let's blow more smoke for the Nvidia bulls." Price targets were hiked. All the Nvidia positives were bolded in the PDF docs. Sure, CEO Jensen Huang made a point to mention on the earnings call that demand for its AI chips remains strong. Profit margins will likely trend back to historically normal levels later this year, CFO Colette Kress said. But in my view, the earnings still fell far short of a consensus figure — and one that investors have little visibility into this round. The uncertainty of the China impact led analysts to estimate figures that included and didn't include the H20 loss. What made up the final consensus estimate? It's anybody's guess. And how do you ignore a giant chunk of Nvidia's sales in China simply vanishing? How do you completely wipe that out of your forecast model and think earnings power will still be the same? That loss will put pressure on all other areas of the operation to accelerate in the near term, medium term, and long term. I dig what Jensen said about the potential for robotics. I'm just not sure it's going to drastically drive Nvidia's business in the next eight quarters like the China business would have. Am I off the mark here? Should one only look at the many positives of Nvidia all the time? I am curious. Get at me on X @BrianSozzi. I always enjoy hearing new perspectives. I want to conclude by saying I don't hate Nvidia. It's more of a challenge to you to always question the "consensus" view on a stock. Brian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor. Follow Sozzi on X @BrianSozzi, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

From Startup to State Asset? Former Hedge Fund Manager Warns Elon Musk's Dojo Is Quietly Becoming National Infrastructure
BALTIMORE, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — It started as a Tesla project. But according to former hedge fund manager Enrique Abeyta's recent briefing, Elon Musk's Dojo may soon be functioning as critical U.S. infrastructure — without anyone officially calling it that. What began as an AI chip built to replace Nvidia has quickly evolved into a full-stack platform capable of running autonomous vehicles, training machine vision systems, and powering physical AI across industries. 'This is how it happens,' Abeyta says. 'You build something private… and then one day, the government needs it more than anyone else.' The Private Chip That's Becoming Public Policy Dojo was born out of necessity — after Nvidia couldn't meet Musk's needs. The result? A custom chip now reported to be 6x more powerful than Nvidia's best-selling model, optimized for training AI on real-world video at massive scale. Every day, Tesla's fleet feeds Dojo with 160 billion frames of visual data, helping the system learn how to operate in the physical world — without human help. On June 1st, Tesla is expected to launch a robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and no fallback to human control. AI Without a Kill Switch Dojo's value isn't just speed — it's autonomy. Abeyta believes that's what makes it so appealing to government agencies quietly searching for domestic alternatives to foreign tech dependence. 'Once you control the AI, the chips, the vehicles, and the data — you're not a car company anymore,' he says. 'You're a national asset in everything but name.' And the signs are already here: According to internal reports, one of Musk's key Dojo partners is 'expecting to receive billions of dollars from the Trump administration. ' That aligns with a recent executive order from President Trump, aimed at 'removing barriers to American AI innovation.' The Tesla Effect: When Platforms Become Policy This wouldn't be the first time Musk built something the government eventually leaned on — from satellites to EV infrastructure. But Abeyta says Dojo is different . It's not about energy or communication. It's about machine-level control over physical environments — and that means its future may not be up to Tesla at all.
