• AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S delivers 47.8 TFLOPS peak FP32 compute power
• AMD equips the R9700S with 32GB GDDR6 memory for AI workloads
• PCIe 5.0 x16 support enables high-bandwidth communication for AI applications

AMD has introduced the Radeon AI PRO R9700S, a passively cooled workstation GPU that joins the R9000 series and promises enterprise-level AI performance.

After the launch of this series earlier this year, several major brands confirmed products featuring R9700 cards, indicating strong industry adoption.

The R9700S keeps the same Navi 48 RDNA4 configuration as the standard R9700, offering 64 compute units and 4096 stream processors.

Passive cooling for high-density AI workloads

Its boost clock reaches up to 2920MHz and delivers a peak FP32 throughput of 47.8 TFLOPS, which makes it a capable option for enterprise AI workloads.

Designed for dense racks and multi-GPU setups, the R9700S uses a 32GB GDDR6 memory buffer on a 256-bit bus with 64MB Infinity Cache.

PCIe 5.0 x16 support ensures high-bandwidth communication with compatible workstation platforms.

The “S” designation in the R9700S indicates a silent design, which replaces the blower-style cooler of previous models.
