AMD Radeon RX 9050 Leak Points to 8GB GDDR6 Card With 2,048 Cores

AMD’s unannounced Radeon RX 9050 is reportedly being readied as an entry-level RDNA card with a Navi 44 GPU, 8GB of GDDR6 memory and a 450W recommended PSU.
2,048 stream processors appear on the preliminary spec sheet—more than the 1,792 tied to the RX 9060—but lower clocks of 1,920MHz game and 2,600MHz boost are expected to keep performance below that model.
PCIe 5.0 x16 connectivity, one HDMI 2.1b port and two DisplayPort 2.1a outputs are listed, and the 450W PSU guidance suggests at least one external power connector beyond the slot’s 75W limit.
Pricing and launch timing remain unknown, while the leaked specifications are still preliminary and AMD could disable some cores in final silicon to preserve separation from the RX 9060; estimates place it around £200-250.
Is AMD's new entry-level card already obsolete with just 8GB of VRAM for 2026 gaming?
As integrated graphics get stronger, does a low-end discrete card like the RX 9050 still have a place?
With more cores but slower clocks, is AMD's new budget GPU a clever design or a compromised product?
