AMD did not give much by way of performance comparisons, but it promises that the cards have the same number of accounts as AMD's last generation RX 7600 series. AMD says that RDNA 4 accounting units are much faster than those used for RDNA 3, especially in games with jet tracing effects. This helped the Radeon RX 9070 cards generally to make so fast or faster than the RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT series, despite the fact that about two-thirds so many accounts units. Holding on 32 CUS for the 9060 series is not exciting on paper, but we should still see a respectable generation-over generation performance. The RX 7600 series, on the other hand, ensured a pretty modest performance improvement compared to Radeon RX 6650 XT of 2022.

AMD says that the total board power of the cards – the amount of current from the entire graphic card, including the GPU itself, RAM and other components – starts at 150 W for the 8GB card and 160 W for the 16 GB card, with a maximum TBP of 182 W. That is a shadow higher than the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, and depending on the RTX and 5060 Ti, and depending on the RTX and depending on the RX 660 and 5060, and depending on the RX 660 and 5060, and depending on the RX 60 and 5060, and depending on the RX 660 and 5060 and 5060, and depending on the RX660 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060 and 5060s and RX 660s and RTX and 5060s and RX 60s -H 5060 Ti, and (depending on the RX 7600 series. This partly comes down to a more efficient 4NM TSMC production process, a substantial upgrade of the 6NM process used for the 7600 series.
It is unusual for a GPU maker to define a TBP range -more often we only get a single standard value. But this is in accordance with new institutions that we have observed in our RX 9070 review; AMD officially supports a series of different TBP numbers selectable by the user in his Catalyst Driver package, and some GPU makers were maps that used as standard that higher TBPs used.
Higher power limits can increase performance, although the performance increase is usually unprecationing compared to the increase in power reduction. These power limits must generally also mean that most 9060 XTs can be powered with a single 8-pin flow connector, instead of using multiple connectors or the 12-pin 12VHPWR/12V-2×6 connector.
