AMD RX 9060 XT Release: Achieves Unprecedented 3.13GHz Frequency
At the Taipei Computer Show, AMD made waves by unveiling its latest mainstream graphics card, the RX 9060 XT, aimed squarely at NVIDIA’s recently launched RTX 5060.
In this announcement, AMD shared some key specifications but held back on pricing details. Neither the embargo lift for reviews nor the official release date has been confirmed, though industry insiders speculate it could arrive in early June. As for the possibility of an RX 9060 joining the lineup, that remains unconfirmed for now.
The RX 9060 XT features a reference design, which serves as a blueprint rather than a retail product—leaving the market entirely in the hands of AIB partners who will offer custom versions. Powered by the Navi 44 chip with RDNA 4 architecture, this card boasts 32 Compute Units (2048 stream processors), 32 RT ray-tracing accelerators, and 64 AI accelerators. This configuration represents precisely half the scale of the larger Navi 48 chip found in the RX 9070 XT.
What sets the RX 9060 XT apart is its impressive core boost frequency of up to 3.13GHz—a new milestone in GPU history. Its INT4 precision peak computing power reaches 821 TOPS, roughly 53% of the RX 9070 XT’s capabilities, thanks to its higher clock speeds.
For memory, the card offers a 128-bit bus width with two options: 8GB and 16GB GDDR6. While both configurations are available, it’s clear that the 8GB variant may not attract much interest. On the connectivity front, the RX 9060 XT supports PCIe 5.0 x16, surpassing the RTX 5060’s PCIe 5.0 x4. For display outputs, it includes HDMI 2.1b and DP 2.1a, slightly trailing behind the RTX 5060’s DP 2.1b.
Power consumption for the card falls within a flexible range of 150-182W, suggesting plenty of room for overclocking potential in custom designs from AMD’s partners.
