AMD Launches 96-Core CPU And Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU At Computex 2025

JAKARTA AMD is again stealing the attention of the world of technology with the launch of two of its flagship products at the Computex 2025 event, namely the Ryzen Threadr 9000 series processor and Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card. These two products strengthen AMD's position in competition with Intel and NVIDIA, as well as offer high performance for creative professionals, engineers, and middle class gamers who want more affordable alternatives.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT comes as a GPU solution for the middle class built with the latest 4nm fabrication-based RDNA 4 architecture. The GPU is designed to rival NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti with very competitive specifications.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT has 32 units of computing, 64 AI accelerators, and 32 cores for ray tracing, which show a significant increase over previous generations. AMD provides two choices of memory variants for this GPU, namely 8GB and 16GB GDDR6 versions. Although NVIDIA carries GDDR7 on RTX 5060 Ti, AMD is optimistic that the real performance of RX 9060 XT will not lose in the gaming scenario or medium AI workload.

The speed of this GPU clock reaches a boost of up to 3.13GHz with a power consumption of between 150 and 182 watts. For artificial intelligence matters, RX 9060 XT is claimed to be able to achieve performance up to 821 TOPS (trillion operations per second). This GPU also supports the PCIe interface of 5.0 x16 and is equipped with a DisplayPort port of 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. Although AMD has officially introduced this GPU, the company has not announced its price or availability date in the market.

In addition to the GPU, AMD also introduced its newest line of processors aimed at workstation, namely the Ryzen Threadwriter 9000 series. This series is led by the Threadwriter Pro 9995WX processor which has 96 cores and 192 threads.

Although the number of cores carried is the same as last year's flagship model, AMD has increased significantly at its maximum speed, from 5.1GHz to 5.4GHz. This increase provides extra performance space for professional users who handle heavy workloads such as AI model development, 3D rendering, and high-resolution video editing.

AMD also presents non-Pro variants for users who do not need professional workstation features. The highest variant, Threadwriter 9980X, comes with 64 cores and 128 threads which are still very large and classified as overkill for daily use. The entire Ryzen Threadr 9000 series is designed to meet the growing needs of the workstation market, both in the creative industry, engineering, and intensive computation-based research.

Although the official price for the Threadwriter 9000 and GPU RX 9060 XT lines has not been announced, AMD is expected to maintain its competitive position in terms of price to attract users looking for high performance without having to pay premium prices from competitors. The presence of these products confirms AMD's ambition to remain a major player in the PC hardware ecosystem, as well as expand its reach to market segments that have been dominated by Intel and NVIDIA.

With this strategic step, AMD shows that they are not only ready to compete in terms of specifications and technology, but also in presenting relevant innovations for the needs of today's users, both in the realm of gaming and professionals. Computex 2025 is also an important witness to the sustainability of AMD's dominance and innovation in the global technology industry.
