AMD has shipped its lowest-tier RDNA 4 graphics cards to OEMs and board partners, introducing the Radeon RX 9050 4 GB and 8 GB variants. The 4 GB model is a reduced version of the Radeon RX 9050 8 GB, with changes only in the memory configuration. Both cards feature 1,024 Streaming Processors divided across 16 Compute Units and can boost up to a 2.6 GHz clock speed. However, in terms of memory, the lower-end GPU includes only 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus, resulting in a memory bandwidth of 144 GB/s, which is significantly lower than the 8 GB version. The 8 GB version of the Radeon RX 9050 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s, double the throughput.
AMD's first launch partner appears to be ASRock, which has developed the Radeon RX 9050 Challenger 4 GB to complement its Radeon RX 9050 Challenger 8 GB. For both of these models, ASRock recommends a 450 W power supply and requires a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Measuring 249 x 132 x 41 mm, it is designed to fit into many PCs with its standard size. The all-black aesthetics are shown below. Pricing, availability, and the specific card TDP have not been announced yet, so we will have to wait a few more days to learn these final details.
