AMD has quietly introduced a new RDNA 4 SKU targeting lower overall GPU power consumption. According to the updated website listing, AMD has released the Radeon RX 9060 XT Low-Power GPU SKU, designed to fit within a reduced TDP envelope. With a TDP of 140 W, AMD recommends a minimum power supply of 450 W. The card features 32 Compute Units (CUs), 2,048 Stream Processors (SPs), 32 ray tracing accelerators, 64 AI accelerators, 128 texture units, and 64 ROPs, all on a die with 29.7 billion transistors. This is 20 W lower than the standard Radeon RX 9060 XT SKU, which also has 32 CUs and 2,048 SPs but operates at a 160 W TDP.
Memory and I/O specifications remain consistent for this class. The RX 9060 XT LP comes with up to 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit memory interface, supported by 32 MB of AMD Infinity Cache, and offers an advertised memory speed of up to 20 Gbps for a peak bandwidth of up to 320 GB per second. Display outputs include DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b. The card supports modern codecs and formats, including AV1 encode and decode, H.264 and H.265 encode and decode, and 4K HDMI support.
AMD China was the first to list this SKU, followed by an update on the main AMD website. The RX 9060 XT LP might be a region-specific, lower power variant that retains most of the functionality of the full-power card while reducing typical board power. However, there is no reason to restrict the power of an entry-level GPU, even with U.S. export controls on high-end SKUs. Therefore, this could be a more optimized SKU designed for pre-built desktops, or something that OEMs requested from AMD.
