After the launch of RTX 5070 Y RTX 5070 from Nvidia and RX 9070 XT Y RX 9070 From AMD, we could say that the middle of management is already covered by the two manufacturers. However, if our budget is more adjusted and we are looking for an entry and economy model, the only option available at the moment is Intel Arc B series.
Intel presented at the end of 2024, the Intel Arc B-580A graphic that offers a very similar performance to RTX 4060, has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory And it has a price of 329 dollars, and, unlike the new Nvidia and AMD models, there are no stock problems.
A few hours ago, we published an article in which we are talking about the alleged specifications that the NVIDIA RTX 5050The entry graph of the RTX 50 series, a model that will have 8 GB of GDDR6 memory And not GDDR7 like the rest of the family. AMD does not want to stay outside the entrance market, a market that will reach the RX 9050A graphic that has just appeared filtered in the list of a Mexican retailer.
AMD RX 9050: the entry range of the RX 9000 series
As we can see on the DD Tech of Mexico website, in the graphic category Radeon RX 9000, in addition to the two models that were launched on the market last week, RX 9070 XT and RX 9070, there is also the RX 9060 Y RTX 9050.
Rumors linked to the RX 9050 are nonexistent today, however, this does not mean that the red team does not intend to launch an entry model for the RX 9000 series with DNA 4.
It is important to note that AMD announced last August that it had left the High range To focus on the environment and the contribution, it therefore makes no sense that no basic and inexpensive model for users who are not willing to pay more than 500 dollars for a graphics card.
Most likely, AMD follows the same path as Nvidia, so the AMD RX 9050 would have 8 GB of GDDR6 memory (Like the entire RX 9000 range). Regarding the price, which is the most interesting the user, if we take into account that the PDSF of the RX 9070 XT is $ 599 and 549 dollars for RX 9070, RX 9050 could be around the $ 249.
It is important to note that AMD also plans to launch the RX 9060 XT, information that we know thanks to an ACER filtration, a graph which, supposedly, will reach the market with versions of 8 and 16 GB of GDDR6 video memory. The two models could have a price of $ 399 and 499 respectively.
Release date
Regarding its release date, taking into account that nothing is known on the RX 9050, you venture to say that a launch date is very risky. However, we can bet that before finishing the first half of 2025, it can reach the market or be about to do so if you don't want Nvidia to eat the market, because the launch of the RTX 5050 would be scheduled for May April.
