PowerColor Readying Spectral White Radeon RX 9060 XT Hellhound & Reaper SKUs
PowerColor introduced four custom Radeon RX 9060 XT options during Computex 2025; consisting of standard black mid-range Hellhound and entry-level Reaper models. The dark 16 GB and 8 GB launch lineup will be joined by Spectral White sibling in the near future. The manufacturer's China website was updated with three pale alternatives at some point last week. Currently, only the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Hellhound Spectral White SKU has made tracks over to the Taiwanese brand's global web presence. The company's Navi 44 XT GPU-based portfolio is not expected to welcome premium-tier Red Devil entries, so the current collection—of seven distinct offerings—will suffice.
Curiously, the two Reaper models seem to differ in terms of clock speeds. As noted by VideoCardz, this specification disparity reflects a recently reported difference between Yeston's Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB and 8 GB GAEA SKUs. Almost akin to patterns exhibited by the Chinese AIB's baseline MSRP conformant products, the PowerColor Reaper 16 GB card seems to boast greater game and boost clock digits when compared to its 8 GB sibling: +90 MHz and 100 MHz (respectively). At first, Yeston's GAEA spec charts were believed to contain placeholder info or anomalous data. The appearances of comparable PowerColor examples indicate an advantageous position for certain 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM-equipped models.Pleasingly, PowerColor's Spectral White aesthetic is deployed across the Hellhound's PCB, aluminium fin-stack heatsink, and I/O shield. At the time of writing, a lone 16 GB model is listed on the manufacturer's global and Chinese catalogs.The Reaper Spectral White series sports customary pale external pieces, but this treatment does not affect its PCB or heatsink.Given wallet-friendly price tags—usually adhering to AMD guidelines—potential buyers are not looking at extravagantly recolored components, thanks to "cost saving" methodologies.

I'm waiting if other brands do something even smaller ;)
