AMD is preparing two new professional GPUs: Radeon AI Pro R9700S and Radeon AI Pro R9600D, built off the Radeon AI Pro R9700 that launched on October 27. References to the R9600D recently appeared in AMD's 25.30.1 Linux driver, and reports suggest both cards are planned for announcement around CES 2026. The R9700S is described as a server-focused variant of the standard R9700. Instead of the blower cooler used on the original model, the R9700S is expected to switch to passive cooling for use in data-center systems that rely on chassis airflow. The R9600D is positioned as a cut-down version of the same GPU, similar in naming strategy to AMD's earlier Pro W7900D .
Since both cards are rumored to be based on the existing R9700, their general configuration should be similar. The R9700 uses a 4 nm Navi 48 GPU with 64 RDNA 4 compute units, totaling 4,096 stream processors and 128 AI accelerators. It ships with 32 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 on a 256-bit interface for 640 GB/s of bandwidth, backed by 64 MB of 3rd-generation Infinity Cache. AMD rates the card at up to 191 TFLOPS of FP16 dense compute or 1531 TOPS of INT4 performance, with a 300 W power target. The R9700 launched as a dual-slot, blower-style card designed for multi-GPU inference systems. The upcoming R9700S and R9600D would expand this lineup, offering a passive server option and a lower-tier configuration built from the same RDNA 4 foundation.
