AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT performance segment GPU apparently comes in two variants based on memory—16 GB and 8 GB. This came to light with regulatory compliance listings and retailer-level leaks, which point to GIGABYTE working on the two variants of the card. AMD apparently wants to target not just the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, but also the RTX 5060, and having an 8 GB variant gives it the flexibility to price the card competitively. If there's a section of the market overlooking the memory size to pick the RTX 5060, then a case can be made for the RX 9060 XT 8 GB.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT is based on AMD's second silicon from the Navi 4X family that's powered by the RDNA 4 graphics architecture, the 4 nm "Navi 44." This chip allegedly has 32 compute units for 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 RT accelerators, possibly 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The memory interface is 128-bit GDDR6, and AMD could use 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory with it for 320 GB/s of bandwidth. The choice of older GDDR6 memory is expected to play a role in giving AMD and its board partners flexibility to price the RX 9060 XT competitively against the RTX 5060 series. There's no word on when AMD plans to launch the RX 9060 series.
