TECH NEWS – AMD has released another card with RDNA 4 architecture, and at first glance, it looks promising compared to what we’ve seen so far.
The new RDNA 4 GPU has arrived, but its TDP is lower than that of the Radeon RX 9060 XT. The GPU specifications are the same, but there are a few minor changes. AMD has just started launching several RDNA 4 GPUs. Although it seems that the company does not have many products based on the RDNA 4 architecture, there are several variants of existing video cards. The two main GPU series, RX 9070 and RX 9060, are constantly expanding with SKUs such as RX 9070 GRE and RX 9060.
AMD had said it might launch the RX 9060 as a standalone product but has not yet done so. AMD has now launched another RX 9060 XT variant, the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (Low Power), which has a lower TDP than the traditional XT GPU. The product is available on AMD’s website and boasts a TDP of 140W, 20W lower than the RX 9060 XT‘s 160W.
The number of shaders, memory capacity, memory interface, and MI accelerators appear to be the same; however, FP8, FP16, and FP32 computational performance has slightly decreased in terms of accuracy. Like the traditional model, the RX 9060 XT LP offers 2048 stream processors, 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, a 128-bit memory bus, and 64 MI accelerators. It uses the same 8-pin power connector; naturally, the GPU will consume slightly less power. The connectivity options are also the same, offering HDMI 2.1b and DP 2.1a ports. There are no changes to the supported rendering formats.
It is unclear if AMD plans to release an 8 GB version, but since the 16 GB version is much more popular, an 8 GB model may not appear on the market. The price and availability are not yet known, but it is expected to be slightly cheaper than the standard version.
