AMD Unveils Radeon AI PRO R9700S and R9600D GPUs

AMD has officially expanded its Radeon AI PRO R9000 workstation lineup with two new Navi 48-based cards built on the RDNA 4 architecture. The two models are the Radeon AI PRO R9700S and the Radeon AI PRO R9600D. Both models feature 32 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit interface, delivering a peak memory bandwidth of 640 GB/s. These additions offer a consistent hardware platform for professional customers who require larger frame buffer sizes for compute and visualization tasks.

The Radeon AI PRO R9700S maintains the full Navi 48 configuration with 64 CUs and 4,096 SPs. AMD rates the card at up to 47.8 TeraFLOPS of FP32 performance when the boost clock reaches 2,920 MHz, with a total board power of 300 W. The Radeon AI PRO R9600D, on the other hand, reduces the Navi 48 configuration to 48 active CUs and 3,072 SPs, offering approximately 24.8 TeraFLOPS of FP32 throughput at a boost clock of 2,020 MHz, while targeting a lower 150 W board power.

ASRock Intros Radeon RX 9060 Challenger OC Graphics Card

The Radeon RX 9060 (non-XT) is only released in the OEM-SI channel, for now, which is why AMD's add-in board (AIB) partners are rather muted with their announcements of custom-design RX 9060 graphics cards. A Sapphire-branded card was recently tested where it was shown presenting a good price-performance proposition against the GeForce RTX 5050 and RTX 5060, and now we see ASRock put up the product page of its first custom RX 9060 graphics card on its website. The new ASRock Radeon RX 9060 Challenger OC is based on the same board design as the RX 9060 XT 8 GB Challenger OC. The product page lacks pictures or renders of the retail box of this card, indicating that much like the Sapphire Pulse, this card will be available only to the OEM/SI market until AMD decides to bring the RX 9060 to the DIY retail channel.

The card features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a pair of 90 mm fans. Much of the airflow from the second fan flows through the heatsink, and out the backplate through a large cutout. Although branded "Challenger OC," the card does not appear to come with any factory overclock—the RX 9060 ticks at 2400 MHz Game clock, with 2990 MHz boost, while the memory is left untouched at 18 Gbps (GDDR6-effective). The RX 9060 is carved out of the 4 nm "Navi 44" silicon by enabling 28 out of 32 compute units present, working out to 1,792 stream processors, 56 AI accelerators, 28 RT accelerators, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The card comes with 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector; display outputs include two DisplayPort 2.1a, and one HDMI 2.1b. Although not yet available in the retail channel, it's been reported that AMD is targeting a $275 price point with the RX 9060.

ASRock Intros Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator Graphics Card

ASRock today introduced the Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator graphics card. The card is based on the PRO R9700 GPU AMD launched earlier this week, which is targets both the edge AI acceleration and professional visualization markets. The R9700 is based on the 4 nm "Navi 48" silicon, which it maxes out, with all 64 CU being enabled for 4,096 stream processors, 128 AI accelerators, and 64 RT accelerators. A key difference between the RX 9070 XT gaming GPU and the PRO R9700 is memory, with the latter getting 32 GB of it—double the size. This should help with fairly large AI models. The card also uses PCI-Express Gen 5 memory pooling features in workstations with up to four of these.

To make the card capable of exactly this, ASRock designed its PRO R9700 Creator graphics card to have a strictly 2-slot form-factor, with a lateral blower-based cooling solution that has cutouts behind the blower, and clearance of the backplate toward the tail-end, to help with airflow to adjacent cards. The card also implements the 16-pin 12V-2x6 power connector. This is ASRock's second card from this generation to do so, the other being the Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi. The connector is located at the tail-end of the card, and not the top. This is important, as the card becomes capable of 3U rackmount chassis installations, something not possible with top-oriented power inputs, particularly with the strict cable bending restrictions of 12V-2x6. The card is 27.1 cm long and 11.1 cm tall. Display outputs include four DisplayPort 2.1a.

VESA Announces Updated DisplayPort 2.1a Specifications to Allow for Longer Cables

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) today announced that it has published the latest update to DisplayPort, version 2.1a. This update replaces the VESA certified DP40 ultra-high-bit-rate (UHBR) cable specification with a new VESA certified DP54 UHBR cable spec to enable up to four-lane UHBR13.5 link rate support (a maximum throughput of 54 Gbps) over a two-meter passive cable. As a result, the DisplayPort 2.1a update effectively doubles the passive cable length for UHBR13.5 GPU-to-display connections—which previously could only be supported through a DP80 UHBR cable—providing consumers with greater flexibility in their gaming or workstation setup.

VESA also announces it has published a new Automotive Extension Services protocol specification for both DisplayPort 2.1a and the latest version of VESA's Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) specification, version 1.5a. This new protocol extension provides support for automotive display functional safety as well as secure integrity and authentication for up to 16 display regions of interest. With the VESA Automotive Extension Services protocol, VESA has for the first time established a standard for vehicle displays that can enable display safety engineers to achieve ISO 26262 ASIL-D* - the holy grail of electronic safety integrity. Silicon manufacturers are already adopting VESA's Automotive Extension Services protocol today for chipsets that will be integrated in future vehicles.
