AMD is about to officially launch its next video card in the RX 9000 series, and new leaks suggest that the model RX 9060 XT It may surprise in performance.
Even with a smaller number of processing nuclei, a GPU deve compensate for bringing clocks higher than the RX 9070 XTsupposedly delivering a balance between performance and energy efficiency.
Surprising frequency and focus on efficiency
According to information anticipated by the well -known Leaker broken_usthe RX 9060 XT can arrive with a boost clock impressive up to 3.32 GHzsurpassing the 2.97 GHz of the RX 9070 XT model.
For games, the expectation is for a average frequency of around 2.78 ghz – What represents a increase of almost 12% in relation to the most advanced model of the line.
Despite the reduction in the number of nuclei (2,048 Stream Processors Against 4,096 of the RX 9070 XT), clock speed gain can really compensate for part of this difference, offering competitive performance for the intermediate segment.
Reduced but modern memory
The new model should come with two memory options: 8 GB or 16 GB of GDDR6, with speed of 20 Gbps. However, the bus will be only 128 bits, which halves the bandwidth in relation to the RX 9070 XT – from 640 GB/s to 320 GB/s.
Even with this cut, the Adoption of the PCIE interface 5.0 x16 It has compatibility with latest platforms and high transfer rate. This maintains the competitive RX 9060 XT in scenarios that require large volume of data. However, the 8 GB version, as we know, may not be suitable for most heavier games.
MORE COMDITED CONSUMPTION
Another plus point is the TGP (Total Graphics Power), which should be below 200wthanks to the presence of a Unique 8 Pinos connector.
Combined with the power supply of the PCIE slot (75W), the estimated consumer ceiling is around 225W, Although real consumption may be below this, which is relevant to those seeking performance without compromising energy efficiency.
Even with fewer nuclei, the RX 9060 XT can compensate with incredibly high clocks and lower power consumption, becoming a balanced choice for demanding gamers
Connectivity and launch
In terms of connectivity, the RX 9060 XT must bring Two Displayport exits e an HDMIstandard configuration for most users. It is expected that the plate will be presented to the world in Computex, On May 21stwith expected availability for beginning of June.
There is still no information about the suggested price, but it seems that AMD intends to position this model as a more affordable option against RX 9070 and its variants.
Direct comparison with other line models
According to the leaked specifications table:
| Model | RX 9070 XT | RX 9070 | RX 9060 XT* |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU | Navi 48 xtx | Navi 48 XT | Navi 44 XT |
| SPs | 4.096 | 3.584 | 2.048 |
| Clock Boost | 2,97 GHz | 2,52 GHz | 3,32 GHz |
| Memory | 16 GB GDDR6 | 16 GB GDDR6 | 8/16 GB GDDR6 |
| Mem band. | 640 GB/s | 640 GB/s | 320 GB/s |
| TGP | 304W | 220W | < 200W |
| Launch | mar/2025 | mar/2025 | May/2025 |

Expectations and market scenario
With the official launch scheduled for the coming days, the RX 9060 XT is another bold bet from AMD for the intermediate market. The combination of high frequency of operation, lower energy consumption and support to modern technologies such as PCIE 5.0 can make it an attractive alternative to NVIDIA competition, especially for those seeking cost-effective after market values are oscillating a lot.
It is still left to know if, in practice, these numbers will translate into real performance in the games. And if the price will indeed be competitive. Anyway, leakage, if it is correct, only demonstrates how AMD bets on diversification its RDNA line 4 with options that not only “follow the script” of the most expensive models, but bring unique characteristics to conquer their own space.
