Overview
- Leaked plans for an RX 9050 surfaced Monday through coverage by Tom's Hardware, Wccftech and TweakTown, pointing to a new low-end RDNA 4 card that AMD has not confirmed.
- The rumored RX 9050 would pair 2,048 cores with 8GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus and lower clocks near 1,920 MHz game and 2,600 MHz boost, positioning it as a budget 1080p option.
- Wccftech and TweakTown cite documents indicating a 450W recommended power supply for the RX 9050, which suggests lower power draw than higher-clocked Navi 44 XT cards.
- TweakTown reports RDNA 4 boards such as the RX 9060 XT and RX 9070 XT are selling at or below MSRP in China as retailers clear excess stock in a soft DIY market.
- Prices in the United States remain above MSRP for similar cards, and outlets note any RX 9050 reveal would likely come via add-in board partners around Computex if the leaks hold.
