AMD just announced its first RDNA 4 graphics card made for AI work. The new Radeon AI PRO R9700 comes with 32 GB of memory, double what the RX 9070 XT offers. It uses the Navi 48 chip with 4096 stream processors and 128 AI accelerators. The card needs up to 300 watts of power during heavy tasks.
The R9700 can handle top AI models because of its large memory size. AMD says it runs twice as fast as the older W7800 card when running DeepSeek R1. It beats the RTX 5080 in some tests because that card has only 16 GB of memory. Users can link four R9700 cards together for a total of 128 GB of memory.
Computer makers like ASUS, Gigabyte, and Sapphire will sell the card starting in July. The design uses two slots with a blower-style cooler. AMD created a new brand name for these products, replacing the old Radeon WX and PRO labels.
