- Radeon AI Pro R9700 Confirmed to July 23 -Launch with 32 GB GDDR6 memory
- Early partner lists show pricing between $ 1244 and $ 1277 depending on model
- GPU is built for demanding work load such as AI, reproduction and local model decoration of workflows
AMDS RADEON AI PR9700, its fastest GPU to date, is for sale now, priced as low as $ 1,244.
While AMD has not confirmed accurate pricing at the time of writing, recent lists of board partners were spotted by BenchLifeGive a good idea of what to expect.
The lists show Sapphire’s models that are priced at $ 1,244 and $ 1,277, while Asrock’s version available for pre-ordering in Tech-American is listed for $ 1,267. It sets the probable center of about $ 1,259.
Built for professionals
First shown on Computex 2025, the R9700 is built on the RDNA 4 architecture and uses Navi 48 GPU. (Fun Fact: Its name is a nikk to the original 9700 pro made by ATI that surpassed Nvidia products back in 2002 and helped change the market. AMD continued to acquire ATI a few years later.)
The card comes with 32 GB GDDR6 memory, twice as large as Radeon RX 9070 XT, which shares the same core but is aimed at players.
This memory runs at 20000MHz over a 256-bit interface that delivers 640 GB/s bandwidth and could make a real difference for professional users working with large data sets, training models or juggling with multiple pro apps.
By cutting down on the memory exchangers for RAM, the R9700 aims to keep things continuously smoother during demanding workflows.
The double slot form factor and cooling-style cooling is aimed at multi-gpu setups inside professional workstations.
The map offers up to 47.8 tflops in single precision performance and up to 1531 tops in Int4 operations. It packs 128 AI accelerators and supports most modern media codecs, including AV1, H.264 and H.265 for coding and decoding.
The card is connected via PCIe 5.0 and has several output ports, including DisplayPort 2.1A and HDMI 2.1B.
Custom models from Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte, Sapphire, XFX and Yeston will be available to buy in the coming months.
These designs will include various cooling setups or small adjustments, but the GPU core and memory remain the same.
