[COMPUTEX 2025] AMD Announces Radeon RX 9060 XT, Threadripper 9000 & New Radeon AI Pro GPU

Like the other two of the Big Three in the chipmaking industry, AMD has less products to show in its keynote this year, although it’s still noteworthy releases featuring the latest member of the Radeon family, along with new Radeon workstation card and the introduction of the next-gen Threadripper CPUs.

AMD @ COMPUTEX 2025

Starting off with gaming hardware – AMD announced the new Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, and despite the chipmaker only mentioned the 16GB model in its keynote, the card will be available in both 16GB and 8GB variants. If VRAM capacity is your concern, make sure to pay extra attention to model names; for pricing, MSRP starts at $349 for the 16GB version, with the 8GB starting at $299.

Besides the GPU, AMD is also previewing its next iteration of the upscaling tech, named FSR ‘Redstone’. This version will bring FSR closer in feature parity to NVIDIA’s DLSS equivalents, with Neural Radiance Caching, ML-based Ray Regeneration and Frame Generation a part of this new FSR revision. The chipmaker expects the new major update to ship sometime in 2H 2025; but for now, the latest FSR 4 will support over 60 games come this June 5th.

Next comes the new Threadripper 9000 series, now featuring Zen 5 cores and a boatload of cores as usual. Like its predecessor, the workstation WX-series maxes out at 96 cores whereas the desktop HEDT lineup is limited to 64 cores; the same PCIe 5.0 lane restrictions apply as well. For benchmarks, AMD claim its new flagship Threadripper PRO 9995WX outpaces Intel’s best offering today – Xeon W9-3595X – by over 2.2x in Cinebench 2024.

Finally, the Radeon PRO lineup gets its share of RDNA 4 goodies, and along with it comes a small rebrand a la Ryzen AI – so the pro line of Team Red GPUs are officially referred as Radeon AI Pro. Anyway, the R9700 card presented here is the flagship model leading the R9000 series with 32GB of GDDR6 RAM with nearly identical power envelope as its gaming counterpart.

Pokdepinion: It’s NVIDIA minus $80 this time – let’s see if it’s good value.
