For the second quarter, AMD has promised the Radeon-RX 9060 series, placed below the RX 9070 (XT). Database entries indicate that the RX 9060 XT will exist with both 8 GB and in a variant with 16 GB. The same is expected by the potential opponent Geforce RTX 5060 Ti.
As so often, the entries in the brand database of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEC) provide the crucial information (via @ harukaze5719 on x). At least as a potential product, various Radeon RX 9060 XTs from the Acer brand, including the following models with 8 GB and 16 GB.

Accordingly, two variants of the RX 9060 XT with a different memory assembly are to be expected, but at least this was planned. These entries serve to reserve brand names and do not necessarily mean such a product on the market.
Direct contract on RTX 5060 TI with 8/16 GB?
However, this could be the perfect counterattack for the Nvidia counterpart, as the GEFORCE RTX 5060 TI should also reach the market with 8 GB and 16 GB, according to the corresponding EEC entries in early February.
The official introduction of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is now expected in April and no longer in March. For the Radeon RX-9060 series, AMD has so far mentioned the second quarter as a major period. AMD has not yet confirmed the expected RX 9060 XT and RX 9060 models and has only mentioned the series.

There is also no tangible information about the other specifications of the RX-9060 series. According to VideoCardz, it is said via a small 128-bit storage interface for GDDR6 memory with the same 20 Gbit / Gbit / s with the RX-9070 series. However, this would mean a massively circumcised memory bandwidth of only 320 GB / s. The predecessors RX 7800 XT (624 GB / s, 256-bit) and RX 7700 XT (432 GB / s, 192-bit) are much better placed.
