We may have only just heard all the details about AMD's forthcoming RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards, but I'm looking to the future for the next release. Thankfully, the red team has some news on what to expect, and when. The company confirmed multiple "RX 9060 products" will arrive in the second quarter of this year, which could be anytime between April – June.

A later timeframe does appear more likely right now, considering the delayed launch of the RX 9070-series, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'd love to see a 16 GB RX 9060 XT for $329, as proper competition to Intel's 12 GB Arc B580. Then, if AMD intends to sandwich Intel entirely, an affordable addition below the $280 Arc card in the RX 9060. Though this does require RDNA 4 to be a performant architecture once limited for compute units and on a stricter power budget—it should be though, AMD's not struggled massively with that in the past thanks to its know-how designing iGPUs for APUs.
