People noticed something interesting on the Mexican DD Tech website recently. They added AMD Radeon RX 9050 and RX 9060 graphics cards to their product filters. The expected RX 9060 XT didn't show up anywhere on the site, though. We can't tell yet if these listings represent actual products or just work as placeholder names for future releases.
Tech experts think the RX 9050 might use the NAVI 44 GPU if it actually exists. This would make it less powerful than the RX 9060, which has probably no more than 8GB of video memory. AMD hasn't released a card in this performance range since the Radeon RX 6000 series, which used RDNA 2 architecture. They skipped making an equivalent card when they moved to the RDNA 3 series.
The story gets more complicated because of news from Taiwan. Benchlife.info reported that partners who make custom versions of AMD cards haven't received any information about an RX 9050. These companies typically need advance notice to design their customized versions of graphics cards. The fact that they haven't heard anything suggests AMD hasn't finalized plans for this product.
We should probably wait for official announcements before believing these listings. Graphics card development takes many months of planning and testing before products reach stores. Companies sometimes change their plans based on market conditions or manufacturing challenges. The absence of partner information hints that even if the RX 9050 exists on paper, it might not arrive soon.
