AMD’s RX 9050: Budget RDNA4 GPU in 4GB/8GB at $279 with Split Memory Bus
AMD is preparing the Radeon RX 9050, an entry-level RDNA4 GPU, offered in 8 GB and 4 GB variants for a $279 MSRP. It uses a cut-down Navi 44 core (1024 cores across 16 CUs) and ships with either a 64-bit memory bus (4 GB) or a 128-bit bus (8 GB), delivering about 144 GB/s or 288 GB/s bandwidth. The 8 GB model has ~92W TDP, while the 4 GB version could run around ~75W with tuning, targeting 1080p/medium settings with roughly 60 FPS in many titles. Availability is listed for APJ and Latin America, with prices likely above MSRP due to memory costs.
