Yeah, pretty bizarre, having full 2048 shaders like 9060XT, especially if those rumored clocks are true, since it pits it at pretty much the same TFLOPS as 9060. I can really figure how that would be cheaper than 9060, which most likely uses silicon that was not good enough for 9060XT.

At this point I'm thinking it must be a false rumor - 1024 shaders would make much more sense for 9050.

Either that, or a lower memory bandwidth by using cheaper memory chips with lower clock speeds (like GDDR5 instead of GDDR6 for instance, or simply lower clocked chips), which probably would result in a lower price point than a binned chip right now.

Can they actually do that? Honest question, as I thought that AMD and Nvidia tuned the memory controller of their GPUs to work with one type of memory, kind of what happens with CPUs that, except for some cases, only work with one type of RAM.
