- Radeon Ai Pro R9700 Goals
- The new WorkStation-Class GPU shares its name with a 20-year-old ATI card
- New GPU has 128 AI accelerators and 32 GB GDDR6 RAM
On Computex 2025, AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700 announced a workstation GPU aiming for local AI tasks and multi-gpu computer environments.
For those who are familiar with the story of graphics cards, the name may be ringing a bell. Over 20 years ago, the original Radeon 9700 Pro marked a turning point for ATI. It was one of the first GPUs to be convincing in both performance and delivery, and its launch in 2002 helped change market dynamics.
Calculating until today, and AMD, who acquired ATI for $ 5.4 billion in 2006, reuses the 9700 name on a very different card. The AI Pro R9700 is not for players, but for developers and professionals working with large AI models.
Set to AI
Radeon AI Pro R9700 has 128 dedicated AI accelerators, 32 GB GDDR6 memory and a PCIe Gen 5 interface. Power pulling is classified for 300W.
AMD says it can hit 96 Teraflops of FP16 performance and deliver 1531 tops to AI -Inferens.
Unlike GPUs built for rendering or games, this is set for local inference and training. AMD claims it can run models with up to 32 billion parameters without cloud -off.
In a four -card system, it scales up to 123 billion. The AI Pro R9700 is optimized for multi-GPU configurations and workloads such as LLM training, simulation and AI-accelerated reproduction.
It comes with ROCM support on Linux, with Windows Support expected later. Accessibility is set for July 2025.
While AI Pro R9700 was AMD’s heading release for professional AI workloads on Computex, Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series and RX 9060 XT GPU line-up with opportunities aimed at creators, enthusiasts and players.
