AMD has finally set the retailer date and the price tag for its professional Radeon AI PRO 9000 series graphics cards, suitable for tasks like professional visualization or workstations that can accommodate up to four cards. Set to launch on October 27 for retailers, the flagship Radeon AI PRO R9700 will arrive at $1,299. Previously, AMD focused solely on the OEM and system integrator segment, leaving retailers and individuals building their own workstations for AI and professional visualization workloads without options. The company aimed to launch this GPU for retailers by the end of July , but supply constraints prevented this, as OEMs and system integrators consumed the entire supply.

These Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU features a 4 nm "Navi 48" GPU, equipped with 64 RDNA 4 compute units, providing 4,096 stream processors and 128 AI accelerators for enhanced matrix operations across various data formats. A key improvement over the RX 9070 XT gaming GPU is the increased memory capacity, now doubled to 32 GB. The memory subsystem includes 20 Gbps GDDR6 across a 256-bit wide interface, delivering 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth, supported by a 64 MB 3rd Gen Infinity Cache. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 achieves up to 191 TeraFLOPS FP16 dense performance and up to 1531 TOPS INT4 sparse performance, all within a power footprint of up to 300 W. The card is packed in dual-slot design with blower-style cooler, so dense multi-GPU configurations can be easily achieved.
