AMD may be preparing a new input GPU based on the Architecture RDNA 4. A Mexican retailer, DDTECH, listed the Radeon RX 9050 on its website, suggesting that the manufacturer can resume the category of accessible video cards in the series RX 9000.
So far, the company has not officially confirmed this GPU, but the model appeared next to the RX 9060which had already been mentioned in certification records.
In recent years, AMD has prioritized GPUS of the line “60-class”like the RX 7600, and did not launch a direct successor to models such as the RX 6500 XT.
With the possible arrival of RX 9050the company may be aiming for an input segment below US$ 250where there is currently little competition.
The accessible video card market has been stagnant since the last generation. While Nvidia launched the RTX 3050 In the Ampere series, the company did not introduce a RTX 4050 In the Ada Lovelace line.
Now, rumors indicate that the competitor can launch a RTX 5050which would make this segment more competitive.
Specifications are still unknown
There is no concrete information about the specifications of Radeon RX 9050but considering the standard of AMD input GPUS, it is likely that it use a chip Navi 44 with a bus 128 bits and at least 8 GB of memory GDDR6.
Energy consumption should also be reduced, possibly below 150Wto adapt to simpler systems without the need for robust feeding sources.
The upper model, RX 9060 XTappeared in listings of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) and can be based on the chip Navi 48differing from the standard RX 9060 and RX 9050, which can use NAVI 44. However, without an official announcement, this information remains speculation.
AMD should reinforce the input segment in 2025
If the rumors are confirmed, the RX 9050 can be an alternative for those looking for a low cost GPU for games in 1080p.
AMD can take the moment to correct limitations seen in the RX 6500 XTsuch as the PCIE X4 interface and lack of support to Encoders AV1, making RX 9050 a more viable and interesting option for a larger audience.
