Insiders Foresee AMD's Introduction of Radeon RX 9060 XT Cards on May 21 - at Computex 2025

[T0@st]

Insider whispers regarding AMD's plans for not-yet-official Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards have floated a possible introduction on May 18, as well as a speculated early June retail launch. These leaked timeframes seem to hinge on something happening at next month's Computex 2025 trade show—similarly, NVIDIA could be readying competing products. BenchLife.info has disclosed inside track information from both camps—their report outlined vaguely refreshed conditions: "the entire 'Blackwell' gaming GPU range is expected to include an (unannounced) GeForce RTX 5050, but this particular graphics card has not yet been confirmed by NVIDIA. After the launch of Team Green's GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB model, AMD is also expected to launch the Radeon RX 9060 XT series graphics cards on May 21, but the finalized stock may not appear for sale until June."

Yesterday, Team Red and involved board partners surprised many industry watchdogs—up until very recently, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB model's release status was in flux. VideoCardz believes that misleading information was deliberately sent out to moles and leakers. As correctly theorized by certain outlets, AMD will launch this (RDNA 4) generation's "Great Radeon Edition" card well in advance of lower end options. The aforementioned (alleged) May 21 introduction of Radeon RX 9060 XT cards aligns with AMD's scheduled Tuesday morning press conference. A few days ago, a smattering of news articles indicated the cancelation of Team Red's Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB variant—VideoCardz cannot verify this claim. Instead, they reckon that the 16 GB model will be prioritized; in terms of day zero/one media coverage.

THAT card will get killed by 7700xt.

Would be pretty cool if the 9060XT ended up within ~5% of the 5060Ti.

For all the lack of progress in the GPU price/performance space, its a little surprising to see a x60 class card creeping up on a 6800XT/3080.

Now if only it were priced appropriately and maintained the price at street level...

just give me 16GB GRE instead

I disagree. Considering that the 9070xt competes with a GPU with 50% more cores than it, the 9060XT will come very close to the 7700xt, while having 16GB of VRAM, while consuming less power, while being cheaper, smaller, lighter and having better RT and FSR4.
