At COMPUTEX 2025, AMD unveiled its latest breakthroughs in high-performance computing with the launch of Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics cards, and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors. These solutions are engineered to address workloads in content creation, professional industries and AI development.
“The Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 bring the performance and AI capabilities of RDNA 4 to workstations and gamers all around the world, while our new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series sets the new standard for high-end desktops and professional workstations," says Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD.
The new Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs are powered by the advanced AMD RDNA 4 architecture and deliver accelerated ray tracing.
AMD also announced the Radeon AI PRO R9700, a new GPU built on AMD RDNA 4 architecture with second-generation AMD AI accelerators. With 32GB of graphics memory and PCIe Gen 5 support, it’s designed for local AI inference, model finetuning and complex creative workloads, with scalability for multi-GPU systems.
AMD also introduced the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors. Whether simulating real-world physics or locally fine-tuning billion-parameter AI models, these processors are built to accelerate innovation.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is equipped with up to 16GB of GDDR6 memory and 32 AMD RDNA 4 compute units, the GPU doubles ray tracing throughput compared to the previous generation.
Second-generation AI accelerators power features like FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), which uses machine learning to boost frame rates and image fidelity under demanding rendering conditions. HYPR-RX delivers a full suite of optimizations, including Radeon Super Resolution and Fluid Motion Frames for fast response times and immersive, tear-free visuals. With support for FP8 data types and structured sparsity, the RX 9060 XT is ready for AI-assisted creative tools and generative experiences.
AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards are expected to be available from leading board partners including Acer, ASRock, ASUS, Gigabyte, PowerColor, Sapphire, Vastarmor, XFX and Yeston, beginning later this year. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB has an SEP of $299 USD, while the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB has an SEP of $349 USD.
Professionals advancing AI development can rely on the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 to accelerate local inference, model finetuning, and other data-heavy workflows. With second-generation AI accelerators delivering more throughput than the previous generation and full support for the ROCm software stack on Linux, with support for ROCm on Windows coming soon, the R9700 is built for high-performance AI with on-device control and flexibility.
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 also scales effectively in multi-GPU configurations, expanding memory and compute capacity for large models and parallel tasks. This flexibility makes it ideal for advanced workstations tackling complex simulations, real-time rendering, or concurrent AI workloads.
The new Radeon AI PRO R9700 is expected to be available from leading board partners starting in July 2025.
The new AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series and Threadripper 9000 Series processors are purpose-built to handle demanding multi-threaded workloads.
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX offers 96 cores and 192 threads, ideal for visual effects, simulation and AI model development. With up to 384MB of L3 cache and 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity, these processors make short work of large datasets, multi-GPU workloads, and memory-intensive applications. All PRO models come equipped with AMD PRO technologies for enterprise-grade security, manageability, and platform stability.
For creators who demand workstation-grade compute in a high-end desktop (HEDT) platform, the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series offers up to 64 cores, enabling rapid compiling, and local AI training without the need to offload to the cloud.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors are expected to be available from MNCs, including Dell, HP and Lenovo, and Supermicro, as well as system integrators starting later this year. High-end desktop platforms featuring AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors, as well as DIY Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and select Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors, will be available from retailers starting July 2025.
