AMD’s Next-Generation Hardware Announced at COMPUTEX 2025
The computing hardware industry continues to adapt as AI capabilities become integrated into mainstream technology products.
This evolution is driving semiconductor manufacturers to redesign their offerings, incorporating specialised circuits for AI processing alongside traditional computing functions.
Therefore market demand for local AI processing has grown substantially over the past two years – reflecting the concerns about data privacy, network latency and the increasing sophistication of AI applications that benefit from immediate processing.
In a time where demand for AI-capable computing components grows across sectors, with businesses and consumers seeking systems that can handle complex processing tasks locally rather than relying on cloud-based solutions – AMD has upped the stakes.
The company has revealed its latest computing hardware at COMPUTEX 2025, introducing new graphics cards and processors designed for gaming, content creation and AI workloads.
AMD’s new graphics cards and processors
AMD has announced the Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, Radeon AI PRO R9700 professional graphics solution and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors at the technology exhibition in Taiwan.
These products are part of the company’s strategy to address increasing computational demands across market segments from mainstream gaming to enterprise computing.
“These announcements underscore our commitment to continue delivering industry-leading innovation across our product portfolio,” says Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD.
“The Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 bring the performance and AI capabilities of RDNA 4 to workstations and gamers all around the world, while our new Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series sets the new standard for high-end desktops and professional workstations.”
Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards: Integrating ML capabilities
The Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards utilise the RDNA 4 architecture, AMD's graphics processing design that provides specific improvements for rendering visual content.
The cards include 16GB of GDDR6 memory, a type of specialised graphics memory and 32 compute units, which are processing blocks that handle graphics calculations.
The hardware also incorporates second-generation AI accelerators, specialised circuits designed to speed up machine learning (ML) operations – which enables features such as FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), a technology that uses machine learning (ML) to increase frame rates while maintaining image quality in games.
Furthermore, the graphics cards support FP8 data types and structured sparsity, technical specifications that enable efficient AI model execution by reducing the precision required for calculations while maintaining accuracy.
Radeon AI PRO R9700 professional graphics solution: Targeting workstation computing requirements
Next is the Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card that targets professional users working with AI applications.
The hardware enables local inference, the process of running trained AI models to generate results and model fine-tuning, which adapts existing models to specific tasks.
It includes 32GB of graphics memory and supports PCIe Gen 5, the latest standard for connecting expansion cards to motherboards with increased data transfer rates.
Additionally, it works with the ROCm software stack, AMD's platform for high-performance computing and machine learning development, on Linux operating systems, with Windows support scheduled for release.
The R9700 model is designed for multi-GPU configurations, where multiple graphics cards work together to increase processing capacity for large AI models or parallel tasks – which addresses requirements for complex simulations and real-time rendering in professional environments.
Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors: Expanding core count capabilities
Finally, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series and Threadripper 9000 Series processors target high-end desktop and workstation markets with high core counts.
The flagship Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX features 96 cores and 192 threads, enabling simultaneous execution of many processing tasks.
These processors include 384MB of L3 cache, which is memory built into the processor for rapid data access, and 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity for attaching peripherals and expansion cards.
PRO models incorporate additional technologies for enterprise environments, providing security features and management capabilities for IT departments.
Furthermore, the non-PRO Threadripper 9000 Series offers up to 64 cores for content creation and AI training tasks – enabling users to perform computationally intensive work without relying on cloud services, potentially reducing costs and latency while improving data privacy.
The company also announced a collaboration with ASUS, the computer hardware manufacturer, on new AI-focused commercial PCs – building on AMD’s ongoing strategy of partnering with industry leaders to deliver AI and high-performance computing solutions.
By combining AMD’s unique expertise in AI-accelerated hardware with ASUS’s innovation in commercial PC design, the companies are poised to support the growing market demand for secure, efficient and locally powered AI experiences across business and enterprise environments.
“We're proud to deepen our collaboration with AMD as we usher in a new era of AI-powered computing,” says S.Y. Hsu, Co-CEO of ASUS.
“With the addition of the new Expert series — built from the ground up to revolutionize performance and efficiency for the modern workplace — to our broad AI PC portfolio and commitment to innovation, we aim to deliver next-gen AI experiences that empower users everywhere.”
