AMD unveils Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM, likely to cost around Rs 25,000 in India
At Computex 2025, AMD announced the Radeon RX 9060 XT, its newest mid-range graphics card that takes on NVIDIA's RTX 5060. Based on the RDNA4 architecture, the latest from AMD is available in two variants – one with 8GB of VRAM and the other with 16GB of VRAM. Compared to the 9070 series, which uses the Navi 48 chip, the new Radeon RX 9060 XT is powered by the Navi 44 GPU, which makes it a viable card for gamers looking to buy a card that offers value for money. The chip features 32 compute units or 2048 cores and comes with 32 RT accelerators and 64 AI accelerators. Manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process node, the Radeon RX 9060 XT has a boost clock speed of up to 3.13 GHz and a TBP of 150 to 182W. It has a 128-bit bus interface and features a 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory solution. AMD claims that the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB variant is about 6 per cent faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and offers 15 per cent more performance per dollar compared to the competition. The new card also features upgraded display outputs, now coming with DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b support and gets a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which is good news for those with older PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboards. As is the case with AMD's new cards, the Radeon RX 9060 XT also supports FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, popularly known as FSR 4. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT does look good on paper, but we will have to wait and see how it performs compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. If we take a look at the hardware, expect to get almost half the performance of the much pricier AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT on the 8GB model. While the 8GB VRAM version of the Radeon RX 9060 XT is priced at $299, the 16GB VRAM variant will be available for $349, which roughly translates to Rs 25,676 and Rs 29,955, respectively.

AMD unveils new Radeon, Ryzen & AI PC innovations at Computex
AMD has announced a series of updates to its product portfolio, introducing new entries to the Ryzen and Radeon lines as well as developments centred on AI-powered PCs. At Computex 2025 in Taipei, the company presented the Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 workstation graphics cards, and the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and 9000 WX-Series processors. AMD executives outlined how these releases are positioned for gaming, professional workstations, and AI development. The Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, based on the AMD RDNA 4 architecture, will be available with either 8GB or 16GB of GDDR6 memory. According to AMD, these units deliver double the raytracing throughput of the previous generation and are targeting smooth 1440p gaming experiences. The 8GB model will start at USD $299 and the 16GB version at USD $349, with availability from board partners expected later in the year. Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD, commented on the scale of the product introductions, stating, "These announcements underscore our commitment to continue delivering industry-leading innovation across our product portfolio. The Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 bring the performance and AI capabilities of RDNA 4 to workstations and gamers all around the world, while our new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series sets the new standard for high-end desktops and professional workstations. Together, these solutions represent our vision for empowering creators, gamers, and professionals with the performance and efficiency to push boundaries and drive creativity." The Radeon RX 9060 XT, designed for demanding gaming environments, features 32 RDNA 4 compute units. AMD reports that this model supports accelerated raytracing, enhanced by its increased throughput and FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) machine learning upscaling technology. FSR 4 has been developed to raise both frame rates and visual fidelity in all rendering conditions. AMD's newly launched Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU is designed for professional AI development and workstation tasks. With 32GB of memory, 64 compute units, and PCIe Gen 5 support, the graphics card is aimed at data-heavy workflows such as local AI inference, model finetuning, and scalable compute in multi-GPU configurations. The company claims the second-generation AI accelerators in this card offer up to twice the throughput of the previous generation. Availability for the Radeon AI PRO R9700 is set for July 2025, with AMD indicating ongoing efforts to expand high-performance GPU acceleration to more AI and compute workloads through expanded AMD ROCm on Radeon support. The Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and 9000 WX-Series processors form the latest chapter in AMD's workstation strategy. These chips make use of the Zen 5 architecture and support record-setting core counts, including the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX which houses 96 cores and 192 threads. The processors offer up to 384MB of L3 cache and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, features that are oriented towards resource-intensive scenarios like VFX rendering, physics simulation, and large-scale AI model development. Enterprise-grade AMD PRO Technologies are integrated to enhance security, manageability, and platform stability. System integrators and major manufacturers including Dell, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro are expected to offer products equipped with the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors later this year. DIY and retail platforms for the 9000 Series are scheduled to follow in July 2025. AMD is also continuing its partnership approach in the AI PC segment. One element of this is the new ASUS Expert P Series Copilot+ PCs, which are powered by up to AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors boasting over 50 TOPS of NPU performance. These units are aimed at providing fast AI-enhanced productivity, enterprise security, and manageability for corporate environments. S.Y. Hsu, Co-CEO of ASUS, stated, "We're proud to deepen our collaboration with AMD as we usher in a new era of AI-powered computing. With the addition of the new Expert series — built from the ground up to revolutionise performance and efficiency for the modern workplace — to our broad AI PC portfolio, and commitment to innovation, we aim to deliver next-gen AI experiences that empower users everywhere." Luca Rossi, President, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo, added, "At Lenovo, we're committed to delivering AI PCs that are not only powerful, but truly personal and productive. Our long-standing collaboration with AMD continues to drive this vision forward — from high-performance laptops to innovative workstations. Together, we're enabling faster, smarter computing experiences for every kind of user. We're especially excited about what's coming next in our ThinkStation P8 workstation, where AMD's latest high-performance Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors will unlock new possibilities for creators and professionals alike."

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.
