RX 9050 Split: 4GB OEM-Only SKU, 8GB Consumer Edition

AMD confirms two RX 9050 SKUs: an 8GB consumer card expected around $279 and a 4GB OEM-only version for system integrators. Both use RDNA4 with 1,024 Stream Processors across 16 Compute Units and up to 2.6 GHz, but the 4GB model uses a 64-bit memory bus (144 GB/s) vs the 8GB model’s 128-bit bus (288 GB/s). No MBA designs; AIB partners like PowerColor, Sapphire, and ASRock are involved, with ASRock briefly listing the 4GB edition before removing it.

Sapphire Unveils RX 9050 Pulse 8GB: A Compact, Budget RDNA4 Entry GPU

Sapphire today unveiled the Radeon RX 9050 Pulse 8GB, a compact 8GB RDNA4-based entry GPU built around a trimmed RX 9060 XT Pulse board. It uses 16 of Navi 44’s 32 compute units (1024 stream processors), includes the full 32MB Infinity Cache, and features a 128-bit GDDR6 memory bus with 8GB at 18 Gbps. The cooler is a dense aluminum fin-stack with two 6mm copper heat pipes and two 70mm fans, powered by a single 8-pin PCIe connector for about 100W TGP. Display outputs are two HDMI 2.1b and one DisplayPort 2.1a. The card measures roughly 20 cm in length and 12.2 cm in height, occupying two slots. AMD did not disclose pricing for the RX 9050 Pulse 8GB.

AMD's Radeon RX 9050 Debuts with a 4GB-Only System Variant and $279 8GB Model

AMD unveiled the Radeon RX 9050, offering an 8GB GDDR6 model at a $279 introductory price and launching first in Latin America and APJ, while a 4GB variant exists only as a system-only option in pre-built desktops with a halved memory bus and reduced bandwidth. This marks AMD's first desktop card in about a year and is viewed as a backward step for mainstream GPUs due to the limited memory configuration.

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.

Radeon RX 9050 Leak Hints at 8GB VRAM and Higher Core Count Than 9060

A leaked spec sheet via VideoCardz points to an entry-level Radeon RX 9050 with 8 GB GDDR6 memory and a Navi 44-based GPU sporting 2048 stream processors, more than the RX 9060's 1792. Clock speeds are listed around 1920 MHz game and up to 2600 MHz boost, with a PCIe 5×16 interface and HDMI 2.1b/DP 2.1a, and a 450 W PSU requirement. The information is unofficial and preliminary, so some cores could be disabled and final specs may change; launch is not expected soon, and performance may lag the 9060 due to lower clocks.
