AMD at Computex 2025 announced the Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card. This card is being launched to cover a wide range of use-cases from professional visualization to AI acceleration at the edge. The card is a beefed up variant of the desktop Radeon RX 9070 XT, and maxes out the 4 nm "Navi 48" silicon, enabling all 64 compute units, for a total of 128 AI accelerators. It also gets 32 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across the chip's 256-bit wide memory interface for 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card is rated for a total board power of 300 W. At its given specs, AMD claims up to 96 TFLOPs of FP16 throughput, and up to 1,531 AI TOPS (INT4 sparse).

 

+Navi 48 Full Fat, 32GB GDDR6.

+New "Radeon AI" branding to supersede the "Radeon PRO" branding.

I wonder what pricing will be like?
Navi 48 is openly acknowledge as 'mid-range'. Will AMD price the R9700 like the W7700 ($1000), or closer to the W7900 ($4000)?

Idk but WANT.

My 9070XT feels like a decent upgrade over my 7900XTX.  However there's one place where it doesn't, and that's when I run out of VRAM (and I have).  My 9070XT hits that VRAM wall on my monitor, my 7900XTX will just keep chugging and chugging with its 24GB.  Honestly I'm kind of torn which card's better at this point in my system.  The 9070XT performs better with modern titles and frame gen stuff / FSR type things.  But that VRAM wall does hit hard, I end up with single digit stuttering when I hit it, whereas on my 7900XTX that was never ever a problem.

This card fixes that issue and makes Navi 48 and proper upgrade.  Will be interesting to see what they price at for sure.
