The new cards, designed to enable top performance for mainstream professional workflows, leverage breakthrough AMD RDNA 3 technology to deliver 2X higher TFLOPS performance and 1.5X higher maximum total data rate for displays than previous generation.
Today, AMD, a key leader in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies, announced two new additions to the AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series graphics product line: the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and AMD Radeon PRO W7500 workstation graphics cards. The new graphics cards are designed to tackle mainstream workloads across a range of professional industries, including Media & Entertainment, Design & Manufacturing, Architecture, and Engineering & Construction.
The new cards leverage breakthrough AMD RDNA 3 technology and are optimized to deliver top performance, outstanding stability, and efficiency. Featuring 8GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory to effortlessly support data-intensive tasks and enable raytraced renderings with incredible detail and realism, the cards offer many key features, including:
- AMD RDNA 3 Architecture – Features redesigned compute units, unifying raytracing and AI accelerators, and second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology and second-generation raytracing technology. It also offers optimizations for AEC, D&M, and M&E workflows for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, video editing and general multitasking.
- Dedicated AI Acceleration – New AI instructions and increased AI throughput deliver over 2X more performance than the previous generation RDNA 2 architecture.
- AMD Radiance Display Engine with DisplayPort 2.1 – With 12-bit HDR color support and over 68 billion colors, display outputs support next-generation displays and multi-monitor configuration options, creating an ultra-immersive visual environment.
- AV1 Encode/Decode – Dual encode/decode media engines unlock new multimedia experiences with full AV1 encode/decode support designed for high resolutions, wide color gamut, and high-dynamic range enhancements.
- Optimized Driver Performance and Professional Application Certification – AMD continues to work with leading professional software application vendors on a comprehensive application certification program, and to ensure AMD Radeon PRO graphics cards are built for demanding 24/7 environments and tested to meet exceptional standards.
“Our goal is to offer more choice for professional users, and these graphics cards do exactly that – built to address the largest market segment focusing on mainstream workloads,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and Radeon PRO W7500 graphics cards provide exceptional performance for a variety of professional applications, including CAD, BIM and more, while offering incredible levels of visual fidelity and setting a new performance standard for mid-range professional graphics.”
The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and AMD Radeon PRO W7500 will be available in Q3 2023 from leading retailers and retailers for $599 USD and $429, respectively. Product availability in OEM workstations and SI systems is expected later this year.
The AMD Radeon PRO W7000 Series workstation graphics cards will be on display August 8-10 in booth #537 (West Hall) at SIGGRAPH 2023.
