AMD was saving quite a few announcements for Computex after all. At this year's event, the company revealed its latest gaming GPU, the Radeon RX 9060 XT, as well as the new Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card for professional workstations. Ryzen makes an appearance too, with AMD revealing the new Threadripper 9000 processors.
Starting off with CPUs, the new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, codenamed ‘Shimada Peak', is launching in July. The new chips use the Zen 5 architecture, offering up to 96 cores and 192 threads.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT is a new mid-range gaming graphics card packing 32 RDNA 4 Compute Units, 32 HW RT Accelerators and 64 HW AI Accelerators.
It consumes between 150W and 182W depending on the clock speed, speaking of, it can boost to over 3.1GHz. AMD has confirmed that both 8GB and 16GB versions of this graphics card will be available. Unfortunately, AMD did not give us pricing and availability info ahead of time, so check back later for an update on that.
The final graphics card introduced during today's keynote is the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700. This card will be available starting in July and board partners like Sapphire, XFX, PowerColor, Gigabyte, ASRock, Asus and Yeston are lined up to release versions of it.
The new R9700 aims to provide 2X better AI performance compared to the previous generation Radeon PRO W7800. In one of the slides, we can see a massive performance improvement across a variety of large AI models. The card promises up to 96TFLOPS of peak half-precision performance, 32GB of GDDR6 memory, 128 AI Accelerators and a 300W TDP.
KitGuru Says: What do you think of AMD's new launches? Hopefully we'll learn a bit more about the launch plans for RX 9060 XT soon.
