ASUS has announced the launch of the Turbo Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card, designed to meet the demands of professional visualization and edge artificial intelligence acceleration. Building on the PRO R9700, an enhanced iteration of the Radeon RX 9070 XT gaming GPU, this new card boasts 32 GB of dedicated memory, reinforcing its suitability for intensive compute tasks and artificial intelligence workloads supported by the RDNA 4 architecture.
The Turbo Radeon AI PRO R9700 distinguishes itself with a specialized lateral blower cooling solution, incorporating a copper baseplate, phase-change thermal pad, and an aluminum channel-type heatsink. Coupled with lateral airflow from the blower, this ensures efficient heat dissipation and a slim two-slot form factor. Strategic design choices—such as recessed backplate and fan intakes—allow users to install up to four cards side by side in workstations or servers, optimizing multi-GPU setups while minimizing airflow obstruction for stable operation.
Performance specifications are compelling: a boost clock of 2920 MHz, an average clock of 2350 MHz, and memory speeds of 20 Gbps ensure robust computational performance. The card´s dimensions are 26.67 cm in length, 11.1 cm in height, and strictly two slots thick, supporting high-density deployment. Notably, power is supplied through a 12V-2×6 connector positioned at the tail end for easier cable management in tight spaces. Compute capabilities are significant, offering 47.8 TFLOP/s FP32, 95.7 TFLOP/s FP16, 1531 AI TOPS INT4, and 766 AI TOPS INT8, underlining its potential across a spectrum of professional and artificial intelligence-driven applications.
