AMD is preparing to launch the RX 9060 XT next and it will be available in two variants, one with 16 GB VRAM and another with half of that at 8 GB. The company publicly defended the latter explaining how it felt there is still a huge market for it as many users do not actually need more than that. We recently wrapped up our review of the AMD Radeon 9070 series with the RX 9070 scoring a 9 out of 10 for AI testing and 7.5 out of 10 in gaming.

Microsoft published a new Defender update for Windows 11/10/Server installation images last month. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images.
