AMD launches the "$350" Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM

RTX 5060 series killer, or not?
Editor's take: AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT, which comes in a bad version and a good version. The bad version is, of course, the 8GB model, and the good version – or potentially good, depending on how it performs – is the 16GB model. AMD has copied Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti homework here, giving both models the same name, which is sure to make it more difficult for consumers to find the good version.

No plans to launch an affordable version for gamers
What just happened? At Computex 2025, Intel unveiled its Arc Pro B60 and B50 Battlemage graphics cards with 24GB and 16GB of VRAM, respectively. Maxsun has fused two of the B60 GPUs to create a dual-GPU monster with 48GB of GDDR6 memory. Dubbed the Arc Pro B60 Dual Turbo, the two-slot graphics card is meant for high-end workstations running AI workloads.

Why you shouldn't trust early (controlled) coverage of a product
Facepalm: As Computex 2025 is set to unfold in Taipei, much of the tech world's attention will be understandably drawn to new innovations and big announcements at the show. Yet, amid the buzz, a more troubling story is playing out behind the scenes – one that raises serious concerns about transparency, media integrity, and the trustworthiness of GPU launch coverage. The issue? Nvidia's release strategy for the GeForce RTX 5060, and how the company is manipulating public perception through tightly controlled media "previews."

Microsoft's cringey ad boasts that top Copilot+ PCs are 58% faster than the discontinued, year-old MacBook Air M3

Talk about punching down
Facepalm: It's been nearly 20 years since Apple launched the Microsoft-mocking "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials, and the two companies continue to take shots at each other in their respective ads. The latest from the Redmond giant claims that top Copilot+ PCs are more than 50% faster than a Mac – specifically, the now-discontinued MacBook Air M3 that launched in March 2024.
