If they run in PCI-E 5x16 and not x8, they will be a noticable upgrade over 4060.

30-series was only the 3050 on x8, but 40-series it was 4060 and 4060 Ti (all three 4.0). I'd be surprised if it was x16, since Nvidia likes to cheap out on these things more and more over the years

Gamers Nexus recently made a video about GPU "shrinkflation": https://youtu.be/2tJpe3Dk7Ko

It's a neat comparison of Nvidia GPUs over the years.

The 4060 and Ti is PCI-E 4.0x8 which equals PCI-E 3.0x16.

If base 5060 comes in PCI-E 5.0x16, that means it runs at full speed. I would buy that as a gift for someone.
