AMD unveils Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM, likely to cost around Rs 25,000 in India
Compared to the 9070 series, which uses the Navi 48 chip, the new Radeon RX 9060 XT is powered by the Navi 44 GPU, which makes it a viable card for gamers looking to buy a card that offers value for money. The chip features 32 compute units or 2048 cores and comes with 32 RT accelerators and 64 AI accelerators.
Manufactured on TSMC's 4nm process node, the Radeon RX 9060 XT has a boost clock speed of up to 3.13 GHz and a TBP of 150 to 182W. It has a 128-bit bus interface and features a 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory solution. AMD claims that the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB variant is about 6 per cent faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and offers 15 per cent more performance per dollar compared to the competition.
The new card also features upgraded display outputs, now coming with DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b support and gets a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which is good news for those with older PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboards. As is the case with AMD's new cards, the Radeon RX 9060 XT also supports FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, popularly known as FSR 4.
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT does look good on paper, but we will have to wait and see how it performs compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. If we take a look at the hardware, expect to get almost half the performance of the much pricier AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT on the 8GB model.
While the 8GB VRAM version of the Radeon RX 9060 XT is priced at $299, the 16GB VRAM variant will be available for $349, which roughly translates to Rs 25,676 and Rs 29,955, respectively.

Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan may be planning this 'big change' in company's chip manufacturing business
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan is reportedly planning a 'big change' to the company's chip manufacturing business to attract major customers. This potential shift deviates from his predecessor's plans and could involve substantial investment. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, two sources familiar with the matter revealed that this new strategy for Intel's foundry business would involve offering outside customers a newer generation of technology. Analysts also reportedly believe that this next-generation chipmaking process would position Intel more competitively against Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) in securing large clients like Apple or Nvidia. Why Intel's new CEO may not be 'happy' with chipmaking process promoted by ex-chief After taking over as the company's new CEO in March, Tan has been reassessing the company's investment in its 18A chip manufacturing process, which was promoted by former CEO Pat Gelsinger . The Reuters report cited sources to claim that Tan has expressed concerns that 18A is not attracting enough external clients and may result in a major financial write-off if Intel stops marketing it to new customers. Intel has already spent billions on developing 18A and its variant, 18A-P. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo While Intel continues using 18A for in-house chips and select commitments to companies like Amazon and Microsoft , Tan may be shifting focus to the 14A process, the Reuters report claims. Intel believes 14A could offer a stronger competitive position against Taiwan-based rival TSMC, whose N2 and N3 technologies are already in production or close to it, the report adds. As per the Reuters report, Tan is expected to present strategic options to Intel's board, potentially by this month. However, a final decision may not come until later in the year due to the high stakes involved. Meanwhile, Intel continues restructuring under Tan's leadership, with steps including new engineering hires and streamlined management. Last year, Intel posted a net loss of $18.8 billion, which was its first unprofitable year since 1986, as it works to regain ground lost in past tech transitions. AI Masterclass for Students.

Ursa engages former NVIDIA veterans for its AI project in Andhra Pradesh
Vijayawada: After finding itself in the midst of a political storm, Ursa Clusters, a company promoted by a group of NRIs, announced that it has onboarded two former top executives of NVIDIA. Ursa has proposed to invest Rs 5,728 crore in Visakhapatnam to develop AI-powered data centres with a promise of creating 2,500 jobs. Ursa, the infrastructure arm of Ursa Cloud incorporated in the US, announced the addition of Alex Tsado and Keith Dines, both of whom worked with NVIDIA in the past. While Alex will lead the technology programme, Keith will be the chief architect in building data centre infrastructure. Ursa has already announced the onboarding of Eric Warner, who earlier worked in key leadership roles at Oracle and Sun Microsystems, as chief revenue officer. Warner will lead Ursa's commercial partnerships with hyperscale cloud providers and AI-first enterprises, according to a statement issued by the company. Alex previously led Cloud AI and high-performance computing go-to-market strategy at NVIDIA. He also led the technology programme for NVIDIA in building data centres in the US and China, spearheading GPU launches for the company. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en Ciudad Madero (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo On the other hand, Keith has more than 30 years of data centre experience, especially in areas of data centre architecture and construction management. He built NVIDIA's private cloud and R&D test labs. Satish Abburi, the co-founder of Ursa Clusters, said with Alex and Keith coming on board, they are confident of executing the project well within the timelines. "The combined expertise of Alex and Keith will bring in a unique blend of business strategy and technical execution. Their leadership will be instrumental in ensuring Ursa Clusters delivers facilities that meet NVIDIA DGX certification standards for enterprise and research-grade AI performance," he said. Satish further added that India's data centre market is projected to reach $4.5 billion by 2030, which is growing at a pace three times the global average. "Ursa Clusters aims to lead this growth by offering integrated infrastructure solutions across data centres, GPU cloud platforms, and managed AI services. With the leadership expansion and strategic partnerships with build partners, we are poised to take the lead in India's AI-powered future," he said. Andhra Pradesh govt allotted 3.5 acres in IT Park and 56.36 acres at Kapuluppada in Visakhapatnam to Ursa to set up its office space and data centre in April. However, the proposal sparked a controversy, with former Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas levelling allegations against the promoters of the company. However, the state govt clarified that the land allotment was subject to the fulfilment of specific performance targets.
