Radeon AI PRO R9700 designed specifically for AI
One of the most notable announcements at the event was the Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card designed for AI applications. This card, introduced with the slogan “High performance on the edge”,It is based on the DNA 4 architecture and offers advanced AI computing power for professionals.
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 is equipped with 128 AI accelerators and 32GB GDDR6 memory. The card delivers 96 TeraFLOPS per second in FP8 operations and 1531 TOPS per second in INT4 operations. The card with a TDP of 300W uses a PCIe 5.0 interface.
In benchmark tests, the new card performed approximately 2 times better than the previous-generation Radeon PRO W7800 (32GB). This difference was especially evident in the tests on the DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B model.
The card is optimized for large AI models, and the performance values of various models are shared according to VRAM usage. The DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B Q6 model uses 28GB, the Mistral Small 3.1 24B Instruct 2503 Q8 model uses 27GB, the Flux.1 Schnell model uses 24GB, and the SD 3.5 Medium model uses 17GB of memory.
The R9700 offers scalability with multi-GPU support. When 4 Radeon AI PRO R9700 cards are used together, the Mistral Large Instruct 123B, GPTQ4 model provides 116GB of total memory usage, and the DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B, FP8 model provides 112GB of total memory usage. The new card will be manufactured by AMD partners such as ASRock, ASUS, GIGABYTE, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE, XFX, and YESTON, and will be available in July 2025.
According to benchmark tests, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 showed significant performance gains in various AI models compared to NVIDIA’s RTX 5080 (16GB). Phi 3.5 MoE Q4 model was 361% higher, Mistral Small 3.1 24B Instruct 2503 Q8 model was 437% higher, DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B Q6 model was 454% higher, Qwen 3 32b Q6 model was 447% higher, and Qwen 3 32b Q6 Large Prompt (3000+ tokens) model was 496% higher.
These tests were conducted by AMD in May 2025 using the DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 8B Benchmark test. The test system used the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX CPU, 512GB DDR5-6400 RAM, 4TB storage, Ubuntu 24.04.2 operating system, and AMD ROCm 6.4 with Radeon AI R9700 PRO GPU.
