AMD Reveals Radeon PRO W7700, Touts Better Price/Perf To RTX 4000 SFF Ada
The latest release of AMD’s workstation GPU lineup is filling the gap between the mid-range and ultra-high-end models, in the form of Radeon PRO W7700. The company is commanding the price of $999 for this GPU, making it significantly cheaper than the Radeon PRO W7800 (which costs $2,499).
In terms of specs, it’s slightly lower compared to the gaming counterpart, the RX 7700 XT. With its Navi 32 silicon, the W7700 provides 16GB of GDDR6 ECC VRAM over a 256-bit bus, 48 compute units forming a total of 3072 stream processors, 96 AI accelerators, 48 Ray Accelerators, and a total compute power of 28.3 TFLOPS (FP32).
The board itself comes with 4x DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR 13.5 bandwidth support and a total board power (TBP) of 190W – the former of which is capable of powering two 8K displays at 60Hz with HDR enabled, or four equivalent 4K/5K displays. In terms of dimensions, the W7700 is a dual-slot card that measures 267mm long, and will require a single PCIe 8-pin connector to power the GPU.
AMD is pitting this GPU against the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada, a half-height, dual-slot GPU that costs $1,250. In the first-party benchmark results, the company claims the Radeon PRO W7700 is up to 2x better in price-to-performance ratio compared to the NVIDIA card.
The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 will be launching in Q4 2023, though no specific date has been announced at this writing.
Pokdepinion: Mid-range workstations should now have a pretty solid option if value is high in the priority list.
