AMD's ROCm doc shows a new RDNA 4 GPU, but it remains a speculation whether this is an actual GPU that will be released or a typo.
AMD Lists Radeon RX 9060 "XL" in ROCm Supported GPUs Table; GPU Hasn't Been Officially Confirmed by AMD
We currently have a few GPUs with the NAVI 44 GPU die, such as the Radeon RX 9060 XT, available in both 8 GB and 16 GB editions, and the Radeon RX 9060, which is the most recent RDNA 4 GPU by AMD. It has been around two months since the GPU was launched, and we haven't heard about any new RX 9000 GPU planned for launch in the near future. However, AMD's ROCm documentation says otherwise.
AMD ROCm (Radeon Open Compute) is an open-source GPU computing platform that offers the software stack to developers. The platform recently added a new RDNA 4 GPU to the supported GPU list, as reported by Videocardz. It's called Radeon RX 9060 XL, a brand new GPU, which we haven't heard about previously anywhere. Theoretically, it should be a cut-down Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, but the naming alone is weird since the "XL" suffix is usually accompanied by the GPU die and not the actual GPU name.
We aren't sure if this is a new GPU because it appears more like a typo. It could be just the Radeon RX 9060, which uses a cut-down NAVI 44 die. Someone who edited the table has also mistakenly filled in the wrong architecture for Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, which should be RDNA 4 and not RDNA 3. So, quite a good amount of errors there.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT uses a NAVI 44 XT die, and we don't know the exact NAVI 44 variant for the Radeon RX 9060. It could be NAVI 44 XL or just NAVI 44, similar to what we have been seeing on the predecessors. The RX 7600 XT from the previous gen uses a NAVI 33 XT, while the RX 7600 (non-XT) uses NAVI 33 XL. Going by this, the RX 9060 XL could be the RX 9060 (non-XT).
