While Nvidia is getting ready to expand its list of the best graphics cards, AMD is also not resting on its laurels. We expect to see the RX 9060 XT and non-XT this year, but details are slim. Today’s leak fills in some important blanks about the possible specs of the card, and one specification in particular stands out as a huge upgrade over not just the predecessor, but also the flagship RX 9000 GPUs.
This leak comes from VideoCardz which appears to be using its own sources this time. It’s unclear whether it’s true, so take it all with a huge grain of salt — but as long as you’re ready for some delightful speculation, let’s dive right in.
The publication claims that the RX 9060 XT will feature two memory configurations, including 8GB and 16GB variants. This isn’t unexpected; we’ve already seen AMD adopt this approach in the RX 7600 XT, and Nvidia is likely to use it in the RTX 5060 Ti, too.
The downside for AMD compared to Nvidia is that Team Red will only equip the GPU with GDDR6 memory running at 20Gbps; a major downgrade compared to Nvidia’s GDDR7. If the RX 9060 XT sports a 128-bit memory bus (just like the previous generation has), it’ll have very limited bandwidth as a result.
AMD board partners reportedly claim that the RX 9060 XT will sport 2,048 stream processors (SPs). This is not unexpected, as the RX 9060 XT is essentially meant to be an RX 9070 XT cut in half, and that GPU comes with 4,096 cores (which is essentially what the SPs are).
The truly interesting part comes in the form of majorly boosted clock speeds. The RX 9060 XT is said to come with a 2,620MHz game clock and a massive boost clock of 3,230MHz. Yes, that’s right: 3.2GHz clock speeds on a budget-friendly card. Whether this turns out to be true or not is uncertain, but that’d be a major uplift for AMD and could make up for the limited bandwidth.
Lastly, the GPU is said to use a 500-watt power supply that might need to be upgraded to 550W if the model is overclocked, and it’ll feature three display connectors as opposed to four.
I won’t lie, this leak sounds almost too good to be true, but the RX 9070 XT finally managed to break past the 3GHz barrier, so it’s possible that this will be proven right in a couple of months. AMD is rumored to announce the RX 9060 XT at Computex in May.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
