AMD has added a graphics card called Radeon 9060 XL, that does not officially exist, into the list of products supported by its ROCm 6.4.2 software stack, noticed a VideoCardz reader. However, the Radeon 9060 XL may not be a name of a new product, but simply a typo on AMD’s part.
AMD’s list of products supported by the ROCm 6.4.2 software stack includes the company’s latest Radeon RX 9070 XT, RX 9070, RX 9070 GRE, RX 9060 XT, and RX 9060 XL, but lacks the RX 9060 model. While the document correctly points the latest Radeon RX 9000-series graphics cards to the gfx1200 and gfx1201 processors (as LLVM targets for compilers), it for some reason attributes them to the RDNA 3 microarchitecture, which is incorrect as they belong to the RDNA 4 family of GPUs.
Given that the document incorrectly describes microarchitecture of AMD’s latest Radeon RX 9000-series graphics processors, it may as well call the Radeon RX 9060 the Radeon RX 9060 XL – as the unit most likely carries the Navi 44 XL processor.

While ATI Technologies, which became AMD’s graphics products group (after AMD acquired ATI in 2006), used the ‘XL’ moniker for select products (e.g., Radeon X1800XL in 2005 and for OEM-only versions), starting from the Radeon HD 3000 series onward (with models like HD 3770, HD 4870, HD 5970, HD 6970, R9 290X, RX 480, RX 7900 XTX, etc.), AMD abandoned the ‘XL’ branding, but retained the moniker to mark cut-down versions of its GPUs: for example, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE carries the Navi 31 XL processor.
