Overview
- Radeon RX 9000-series cards in China, which retailers said Monday were selling at or below list price (MSRP), show sellers cutting prices to move excess stock after weak DIY PC demand.
- TweakTown reports partners are offloading large inventories and even older models like the RX 6750 GRE at losses to raise cash, while U.S. listings for cards such as the RX 9070 XT remain well above launch pricing.
- Separate leaks from VideoCardz, cited by Wccftech and Tom’s Hardware, describe a Radeon RX 9050 with 2,048 cores on the Navi 44 XT die and slower clocks of about 1,920 MHz game and up to 2,600 MHz boost.
- The rumored RX 9050 is said to use 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 18 Gbps, trimming memory bandwidth versus the RX 9060 XT, and reports also mention a 450W recommended system PSU with an estimated ~130W board power.
- Tom’s Hardware says the RX 9050 is likely aimed at the RTX 5050’s price band and notes a possible reveal around Computex in Taipei, though pricing, power specs, and launch timing remain unconfirmed.
