At COMPUTEX 2025 in Taipei, AMD introduced a wave of new products across its Radeon and Ryzen line-ups, aiming to redefine performance standards in gaming, workstations, and AI computing. The announcements included the Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics cards, alongside the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors. These launches mark a continued push by AMD to empower gamers, creators, and professionals with high-performance and AI-ready computing solutions.
Radeon RX 9060 XT brings AI-assisted gaming to the mainstream
The new Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards are built on AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture and target gamers seeking fluid 1440p performance with advanced features like ray tracing and machine learning-powered upscaling. Available in 8GB and 16GB VRAM configurations, the RX 9060 XT features 32 compute units, with game clock speeds of 2.53GHz and boost clocks reaching up to 3.13GHz.
AMD’s second-generation AI accelerators now enable FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), a technology that uses machine learning to enhance frame rates and visual quality. The card also supports Radeon Super Resolution and Fluid Motion Frames through HYPR-RX, delivering smoother and more responsive visuals.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB version will retail at US$299, while the 16GB variant is priced at US$349. Both models are set to launch later in the year through AMD’s key board partners including ASUS, Gigabyte, PowerColor, and Sapphire.
Radeon AI PRO R9700 targets professional AI and creative workloads
Designed for AI development and content-heavy workstations, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 is also built on the RDNA 4 architecture and features 64 compute units, 32GB of VRAM, and a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU supports PCIe Gen 5 and delivers up to 2x the AI throughput of its predecessor, powered by second-generation AI accelerators.
The R9700 is well-suited for tasks such as local AI inference, model fine-tuning, and real-time rendering. It scales efficiently in multi-GPU setups, enabling higher compute capacity for large-scale simulations and AI model training. Full support for the ROCm software stack on Linux is included, with Windows compatibility expected soon. The Radeon AI PRO R9700 will be available from July 2025.
Threadripper 9000 Series redefines workstation computing
Also revealed were the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series and the enthusiast-focused Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors. These chips are engineered for professionals handling intensive tasks such as cinematic rendering, physics simulations, and AI workloads.
Leading the line is the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, offering 96 cores and 192 threads, with a base clock of 2.5GHz and a boost frequency of up to 5.4GHz. Other models range from 12-core to 64-core variants, with all processors featuring 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity and up to 384MB of L3 cache.
High-end desktop versions of the Threadripper 9000 Series are aimed at creators who want workstation-level performance on a desktop platform. These processors enable fast content creation, software compilation, and local AI model training without relying on cloud computing.
AMD confirmed that the PRO models will be available through OEMs including Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro later in the year. DIY and retail versions of the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and select PRO variants will be available starting in July 2025.
New Copilot+ AI PCs from ASUS and Lenovo powered by AMD
During the keynote, AMD’s Jack Huynh was joined by ASUS Co-CEO S.Y. Hsu to announce the new ASUS Expert P Series Copilot+ PCs. These systems are designed for enterprise use and are powered by the AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors. Offering more than 50 TOPS of NPU performance, these devices promise faster AI-enhanced workflows and improved efficiency for business users.
Hsu commented, “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.”
Lenovo’s Luca Rossi also praised AMD’s contributions to AI computing. “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,” he said.
