AMD announces the Radeon RX 9060 XT unveiling date. Shares render of the reference edition, but it won't be available for purchase.
Radeon RX 9060 XT Reference Card Features Dual-Fan Design and a Single 8-pin PCI-E Connector
Just like the Radeon RX 9070 XT, there exists a reference design for the upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT. However, just like the RX 9070 XT, you won't be able to buy it either. The RX 9060 XT is set to be unveiled on 21st May at Computex in Taipei, where AMD will release more of its products from the AI and gaming segments.
Reminder! Join AMD on May 21 as we reveal what’s next in gaming, AI PCs, and more. @JackMHuynh, SVP and GM of Computing and Graphics Group, along with industry leaders and partners showcase what is built to power the next level.

The infographic AMD shared on its official AMD Gaming handle shows a dual-fan Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card, which is supposedly what the reference design would look like if it existed in reality. There is a high possibility that AMD will make a few of these cards, but they won't be available for sale. We saw AMD's reference design for the RX 9070 XT as well, but it was only spotted much later than launch.
Similarly, we are seeing the reference design of the Radeon RX 9060 XT, which might actually exist, but the infographic states at the bottom, "Artistic Render Not Available for Purchase". Nonetheless, what's more important is the actual release date, when AMD will reveal its full specification as well as performance numbers.
From AMD's render, we can at least see and confirm that the RX 9060 XT will feature a single 8-pin PCI-E power connector, which means the TDP should be around 200W or less. Custom editions, particularly the OC ones, will be slightly power-hungrier, and AIBs may add another connector to add room for overclocking.
As far as the core specs of the card are concerned, the GPU is expected to bring 2048 Stream Processors and will feature both 8 GB and 16 GB variants. AMD is supposedly focusing more on the 16 GB edition right now, but will release the 8 GB edition later. The GPU, therefore, will have a memory bus width of 128-bit and will compete directly with the RTX 5060 Ti from NVIDIA. Stay tuned as we will cover the release in full detail when Computex commences.
