AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Low Power Variant Appears on Website
A graphics model under the name Radeon RX 9060 XT Low Power is quietly inaugurated on AMD's official website. The variant stresses the standard power layout of the RX 9060 XT but allows power to be drawn at an even lesser rate compared to the typical use, which suits builds with lower power budgets.
Technical Specifications and Key Differences
The Low Power model is built on the same GPU as standard, carrying 32 compute units and 2048 stream processors. Video memory is now increased to 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus.
The main difference lies in power draw,
- RX 9060 XT Low Power TDP 140 W
- Standard RX 9060 XT TDP 180 W
Performance Information
While AMD has not revealed clock rate values so far, the product's page states it carries, a FP32 (single precision) compute performance of 25 teraflops. This is slightly lower than the 25.6 teraflops of the non-Power variant RX 9060 XT. Doing some math based on this number, we can estimate that the boost clock of the Low Power version is around 3.05 GHz, which is about 80 MHz lower than that of the base model.
Intended Use Case
The Radeon RX 9060 XT Low Power is pitched as being extremely viable for compact PCs and systems confined by limited cooling, where heat and power are very much a concern.
Pricing and Availability
AMD has yet to announce pricing and retail availability for the RX 9060 XT Low Power graphics card.
