AMD was at Computex in Taipei this week to introduce some new hardware that PC builders might want to consider for their desktop builds.The first major announcement is new graphics cards, AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 XT, which will launch on June 5. The company is trying to make waves by pricing the 9060XT at a surprisingly low $299 for the 8GB model and $349 for 16GB version. "The fastest graphics card available under $350,” AMD SVP Jack Huynh said at the company's press conference.(Credit: PCMag/Matthew Buzzi)The RX 9060 XT cards have been designed for 1440p gaming. The products also outperform Nvidia’s slightly pricier RTX 5060 Ti by about 6% across 40 games when measured without AI-powered upscaling or frame generation, Huynh said. Stay tuned for our review. Still, we’re skeptical AMD can maintain the low price, considering the company’s other graphics card, the RX 9070XT, has been selling closer to $729 to $899, rather than the original $599 starting price. Trump’s tariffs, low supplies, and greed from AMD’s GPU partners have all been blamed as factors for the price increases. Recommended by Our Editors(Credit: PCMag/Matthew Buzzi)The second major announcement involved new heavy-duty Threadripper 9000 CPUs meant to to power high-end workstation PCs and home desktop builds that want to go beyond a mere 16 cores. The new Threadrippers have been upgraded over the older 7000 series by using a 4-nanometer Zen 5 architecture. The Threadripper Pro 9000 series is meant for corporate workstation, with the most powerful chip, the 9995WX, containing a whopping 96 CPU cores and 192 threads. “There’s no contest here. This is absolute workload domination,” Huynh said while comparing the 9995WX against Intel’s Xeon W9-3595X chip. The company will also release Threadripper 9000 processors for home PCs with three CPU models that’ll offer 24, 32 or 64 CPU cores. Although no pricing was announced, expect the home desktop versions to cost from $1,500 to $5,000, based on the pricing for the 7000 series. The new Threadripper chips are slated to arrive in July.
