Introducing the XG Core Graphics Dock

They also introduced the XG Core graphics dock. This box looking device seems like a less gaming-oriented option compared to the existing ROG XG Mobile series, which currently sells for $1,599 on Amazon. The ROG XG Mobile (2025) uses laptop versions of Nvidias GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs, so its a different beast entirely.

Its Desktop-Class Radeon Power

On the flip side, the XG Core uses a desktop-class Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (Low Power) chip instead. This Low Power version was announced back in December 2025 and it runs at up to 140 W, which is a 12.5% decrease from the regular Radeon RX 9060 XT. Even though the Low Power has a 2.55% lower Boost Clock (3,050 MHz vs. 3,130 MHz), it still keeps 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 128-bit memory bus runing at 20 Gbps to achive a 320 GB/s memory bandwidth.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT LP also gives the XG Core 2,048 cores and 32 Compute Units. Asus says the new graphics dock will talk to your computer via USB4, and then route the video through DisplayPort or HDMI outputs. Previously, AMD was expected to sell the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP only to OEMs in China. So, pricing and availability for the XG Core is still unkown at this point.
