AMD has announced a series of updates to its product portfolio, introducing new entries to the Ryzen and Radeon lines as well as developments centred on AI-powered PCs.
At Computex 2025 in Taipei, the company presented the Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 workstation graphics cards, and the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and 9000 WX-Series processors. AMD executives outlined how these releases are positioned for gaming, professional workstations, and AI development.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, based on the AMD RDNA 4 architecture, will be available with either 8GB or 16GB of GDDR6 memory. According to AMD, these units deliver double the raytracing throughput of the previous generation and are targeting smooth 1440p gaming experiences. The 8GB model will start at USD $299 and the 16GB version at USD $349, with availability from board partners expected later in the year.
Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD, commented on the scale of the product introductions, stating, "These announcements underscore our commitment to continue delivering industry-leading innovation across our product portfolio. The Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 bring the performance and AI capabilities of RDNA 4 to workstations and gamers all around the world, while our new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series sets the new standard for high-end desktops and professional workstations. Together, these solutions represent our vision for empowering creators, gamers, and professionals with the performance and efficiency to push boundaries and drive creativity."
The Radeon RX 9060 XT, designed for demanding gaming environments, features 32 RDNA 4 compute units. AMD reports that this model supports accelerated raytracing, enhanced by its increased throughput and FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) machine learning upscaling technology. FSR 4 has been developed to raise both frame rates and visual fidelity in all rendering conditions.
AMD's newly launched Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU is designed for professional AI development and workstation tasks. With 32GB of memory, 64 compute units, and PCIe Gen 5 support, the graphics card is aimed at data-heavy workflows such as local AI inference, model finetuning, and scalable compute in multi-GPU configurations. The company claims the second-generation AI accelerators in this card offer up to twice the throughput of the previous generation.
Availability for the Radeon AI PRO R9700 is set for July 2025, with AMD indicating ongoing efforts to expand high-performance GPU acceleration to more AI and compute workloads through expanded AMD ROCm on Radeon support.
The Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and 9000 WX-Series processors form the latest chapter in AMD's workstation strategy. These chips make use of the Zen 5 architecture and support record-setting core counts, including the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX which houses 96 cores and 192 threads. The processors offer up to 384MB of L3 cache and 128 PCIe 5.0 lanes, features that are oriented towards resource-intensive scenarios like VFX rendering, physics simulation, and large-scale AI model development. Enterprise-grade AMD PRO Technologies are integrated to enhance security, manageability, and platform stability.
System integrators and major manufacturers including Dell, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro are expected to offer products equipped with the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors later this year. DIY and retail platforms for the 9000 Series are scheduled to follow in July 2025.
AMD is also continuing its partnership approach in the AI PC segment. One element of this is the new ASUS Expert P Series Copilot+ PCs, which are powered by up to AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors boasting over 50 TOPS of NPU performance. These units are aimed at providing fast AI-enhanced productivity, enterprise security, and manageability for corporate environments.
S.Y. Hsu, Co-CEO of ASUS, stated, "We're proud to deepen our collaboration with AMD as we usher in a new era of AI-powered computing. With the addition of the new Expert series — built from the ground up to revolutionise performance and efficiency for the modern workplace — to our broad AI PC portfolio, and commitment to innovation, we aim to deliver next-gen AI experiences that empower users everywhere."
Luca Rossi, President, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo, added, "At Lenovo, we're committed to delivering AI PCs that are not only powerful, but truly personal and productive. Our long-standing collaboration with AMD continues to drive this vision forward — from high-performance laptops to innovative workstations. Together, we're enabling faster, smarter computing experiences for every kind of user. We're especially excited about what's coming next in our ThinkStation P8 workstation, where AMD's latest high-performance Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors will unlock new possibilities for creators and professionals alike."
