AMD Lists Radeon RX 9050 and Says 4GB Model Will Be OEM‑Only

Overview

• AMD posted an official listing for the Radeon RX 9050 and released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.7.1 on Tuesday, which adds support for the new card and ships fixes for other Radeon 7000/9000 series issues.
• The RX 9050 is an entry‑level RDNA 4 GPU with 16 compute units (1,024 stream processors), a 1920MHz game frequency and up to 2,600MHz boost, 32MB Infinity Cache, and a typical board power of about 92W designed for 1080p medium settings.
• AMD confirmed the card will come in 8GB and 4GB GDDR6 versions with the 4GB model using a 64‑bit memory bus reserved for OEM system partners and the 8GB model using a 128‑bit bus as the retail offering.
• ASRock’s product pages for Challenger‑branded RX 9050 boards list full specs including 249×132×41 mm dimensions, PCIe Gen5 x16 support, one HDMI 2.1b and two DisplayPort 2.1a ports, a single 8‑pin power connector, and a recommended 450W PSU.
• AMD’s initial commercial plan focuses retail availability in APJ and LATAM with a $279 suggested SEP likely for the 8GB SKU, a move that leaves most retail buyers with the higher‑memory 8GB option and positions the card for budget conscious 1080p buyers.
