Vastarmor's Chinese website has been updated with a new workstation-grade graphics card model. This new addition seems to signal the AMD board partner's debut in the field of producing dedicated professional graphic solutions. The company is better known for its well-populated gaming product range, utilizing several generations of Team Red Radeon GPU tech. At CES 2026, TechPowerUp enjoyed sneak peeking a pleasingly low-profile prototype Radeon RX 9060 XT card at the Minisforum booth. Up until the start of this year, Vastarmor has deployed AMD's Navi 48 GPU die in flagship Super Alloy and regular Alloy Radeon RX 9070 XT SKUs. This supply relationship has expanded into Navi 48 XTW territories, as demonstrated by the manufacturer's fresh listing of a custom Radeon AI PRO R9700 32 GB model.

Somewhat disappointingly, the Chinese AIB has not deviated much from Team Red's official reference design. Visually, Vastarmor's largely faithful interpretation distinguishes itself by adding company logos/branding onto the shroud, backplate, and the blower fan's face. When compared to a slightly older low effort PowerColor rendition, Vastarmor's "customization" goes the extra mile. According to Vastarmor's spec sheet (translated from Mandarin), this new product adheres to AMD's reference levels. No details regarding pricing or regional availability are present on the company's product page. Last October, Team Red's official Radeon AI PRO R9700 reveal set an MSRP of $1299. The ongoing computer memory crisis will likely drive up costs across consumer and professional markets. Workstation cards, that pack 32 GB of GDDR6 or GDDR7 VRAM, are expected to become increasingly expensive prospects.

Last week, AMD introduced its Radeon AI PRO R9700 32 GB professional graphics card—representing the RDNA 4 generation's first foray into non-gaming territories. The TechPowerUp team encountered board partner variants on the showroom floor, with GIGABYTE and ASRock exhibiting samples with blower-style cooling solutions. At the time, Team Red's reference design was only visible in promotional/artistic renders. According to the company's official product page, this particular model is "not available for purchase." AMD made similar claims during the early days of—related Navi 48 GPU-based—Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards. Months later, Chinese hardware enthusiasts picked up physical "Made-By-AMD" (MBA) examples via murky second hand market channels.

At some point this week, PowerColor's web presences were updated with a semi-familiar sight: an almost direct interpretation of the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 reference card. The Taiwanese AIB has removed "AI" and "PRO R9700" text from their variant's shroud design, and applied a customary "PowerColor" logo and symbol sticker onto the lone blower fan's face. VideoCardz believes that pre-announcement renders and specification leaks had caused confusion across insider networks—hence the emergence of "Radeon RX 9070 XT(X) 32 GB" rumors, within the first quarter of 2025. PowerColor did not showcase its pro-grade at the recently concluded Computex trade event—instead, company representatives were tasked with hyping up incoming custom Radeon RX 9060 XT gaming cards, and a mysterious "REVA" prototype. At the time of writing, PowerColor has not issued any Radeon AI PRO R9700-related press material. AMD and manufacturing partners are expected to launch finalized products in July.

AMD's "Radeon Software for Linux 25.10.1" release notes mention the introduction of support for three important ASIC SKUs: RX 9060 XT, AI PRO R9700, and RX 9070 GRE. Two of these models are still awaiting release; the TechPowerUp team spent time with demonstration samples at the recently concluded Computex 2025 trade show. Coincidentally, the special v25.10.1 update became available on the same day as Team Red's big (May 21) presentation. During that day's proceedings, the company committed themselves to providing ROCm support for freshly unveiled graphics products.

Interestingly, it has taken a number of weeks to get the China market exclusive Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12 GB card up and running under Linux environments. GPU industry watchers are still wondering whether this mid-range option will trickle out to global markets; akin to the staggered trail made by the RDNA 3 generation's Radeon RX 7900 GRE (around early 2024). Team Red's open-source software team has readied support almost two weeks ahead of the launch of Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB and 8 GB models. The workstation-grade Radeon AI PRO R9700 32 GB model is expected to arrive at some point in July.

AMD is readying a new line of professional graphics cards based on its latest RDNA 4 graphics architecture. The company has assigned the silicon variant "Navi 48 XTW" to power its next flagship pro-vis product, which will likely be branded under the Radeon PRO W9000 series. According to the source of this leak, the card comes with 32 GB of memory, which is probably ECC GDDR6, across the chip's 256-bit wide memory bus. The product should offer the same core-configuration as the Radeon RX 9070 XT gaming GPU, with 64 compute units worth 4,096 stream processors, 128 AI accelerators, 64 RT accelerators, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs.

Besides professional visualization, AMD could target the AI acceleration crowd. The company is hosting the "Advancing AI" press event in June, where it is widely expected to announce its next-generation AI GPUs and updates to ROCm. It could also use the occasion to unveil the Radeon PRO W9000 series product, promoting them to the AI acceleration crowd.
