AMD unveiled its latest professional graphics cards, the Radeon PRO W7600/W7500, designed for professionals and based on the RDNA 3 architecture.
The release date is set for the third quarter of 2023, and the global market prices are expected to be $599 for the "Radeon PRO W7600" and $429 for the "Radeon PRO W7500."
The "Radeon PRO W7500" is a mid-range model positioned below the previously released "Radeon PRO W7900" and "Radeon PRO W7800." It features a sleek design with a standard external exhaust cooler, making it a 1-slot thick graphics card. Although it adopts the RDNA 3 architecture, it does not support chiplet technology, using a monolithic die similar to the Radeon RX 7600. The card boasts a "second-generation ray tracing engine," offering 1.5 times better performance compared to previous models. Additionally, it includes AV1 hardware encoder/decoder functions that support up to 8K / 60 fps and simultaneous encoding and decoding capabilities. The "Radeon PRO W7500" also features an AI accelerator that offers up to 2.3 times higher processing performance and DisplayPort 2.1, supporting up to 8K / 120Hz.
As for the specifications of the "Radeon PRO W7600," it packs 13.3 billion transistors, 32 compute units, 2,048 stream processors, 32 ray accelerators, and 8GB of GDDR6 video memory with a memory speed of 18 Gbps and a memory bus width of 128 bits. The card's peak performance is 39.98 TFLOPS for FP16, 19.99 TFLOPS for FP32, and 0.62 TFLOPS for FP64. The bus interface is PCI Express 4.0 (x8/x16 shape), and it features four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, with a total board power of 130W. It requires a single 6-pin auxiliary power connector and has a card length of 241mm.
On the other hand, the "Radeon PRO W7500" is equipped with 13.3 billion transistors, 28 compute units, 1,792 stream processors, and 28 ray accelerators. It also has 8GB of GDDR6 video memory with a memory speed of 10.8 Gbps and a memory bus width of 128 bits. The peak performance for this model is 24.38 TFLOPS for FP16, 12.19 TFLOPS for FP32, and 0.38 TFLOPS for FP64. Similar to the "Radeon PRO W7600," it features a PCI Express 4.0 (x8/x16 shape) bus interface and four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. However, it does not require an auxiliary power connector and has a board power of 70W. The card's length is 216mm.
In conclusion, AMD's "Radeon PRO W7600/W7500" graphics cards are aimed at professionals, providing powerful performance and utilizing the advanced RDNA 3 architecture. With competitive pricing and technical features, these cards are set to be released in the third quarter of 2023.
