At COMPUTEX 2025, AMD launched Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPUs and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors, engineered for content creation workloads and AI development.
At COMPUTEX 2025 in Taipei, 20 – 23 May, AMD launched Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics cards and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors, engineered for workloads in content creation, professional applications and AI development.
Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager of Computing and Graphics at AMD said, “The Radeon AI PRO R9700 puts the performance and AI capabilities of RDNA 4 into workstations. The Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series sets a new standard for high-end desktops and professional workstations. Together, these solutions represent our vision for delivering greater performance and efficiency to creators, gamers and professionals.”
AI Acceleration and Multiple-Gpu Configurations
AMD’s new Radeon AI PRO R9700, a GPU built on AMD RDNA 4 architecture with AMD AI accelerators, has 32GB of graphics memory and PCIe Gen 5 support. It is designed for local AI inference, fine tuning models and complex creative workloads, and is scalable for users building multiple GPU systems.
For users working in AI development, second-generation AI accelerators deliver up to twice the throughput of the previous generation and full support for the ROCm software stack on Linux, the R9700 is built for high-performance AI with on-device control and flexibility.
Support for ROCm on Windows is coming soon. The ROCm open software includes drivers, development tools and APIs that enable GPU programming, and is optimised for Generative AI and HPC applications.
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 also scales effectively in multiple-GPU configurations, expanding memory and compute capacity for large models and parallel tasks. This flexibility makes it a good choice for workstations tackling complex simulations, real-time rendering or concurrent AI workloads.
The new Radeon AI PRO R9700 is expected to be available from leading board partners starting in July 2025.
Cores and Bandwidth for Multi-Threaded Workloads
AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series and Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors now achieve extremely competitive core counts and memory bandwidth. Built to handle multi-threaded workloads, their platform capabilities support professional cinematic VFX rendering, real-world physics simulations, or locally fine-tuning billion-parameter AI models.
At the top of the line, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX has 96 cores and 192 threads, prepared to support visual effects, simulation and AI model development. With up to 384MB of L3 cache and 128 lanes of PCIe 5.0 connectivity, these processors can work through large datasets, workloads distributed across multiple GPUs, and memory-intensive applications. All PRO models are equipped with AMD PRO features for enterprise-grade security, manageability and platform stability, used to simplify IT operations.
For users that need workstation-grade compute in a high performance desktop platform, the Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series is built with up to 64 cores, capable of efficient content creation, rapid compiling and local AI training. This level of performance can prevent the need to offload to the cloud, helping to reduce cost, latency and improve privacy.
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors are expected to be available from manufacturers including Dell, HP and Lenovo, and from Supermicro and system integrators, starting later in 2025. High-end desktop platforms featuring AMD Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series processors, as well as DIY Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Series and select Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000 WX-Series processors, will be available from retailers starting July 2025.
Upcoming AI PCs
At COMPUTEX, Jack Huynh was joined by ASUS Co-CEO S.Y. Hsu to introduce the new ASUS Expert P Series Copilot+ PCs, commercial PCs designed to make AI acceleration accessible to enterprise environments. When running up to AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors, these systems achieve as much as 50 or more TOPS of NPU performance, enabling efficient AI-enhanced operation in business platforms. Ryzen AI PRO Series processors support the enterprise-grade security and manageability features needed in a modern IT environment.
Luca Rossi, President, Intelligent Devices Group, at Lenovo also commented, "At Lenovo, we are delivering AI PCs that are powerful, productive and personal. Our long-standing collaboration with AMD continues to drive this vision forward — from high-performance laptops to innovative workstations built for faster, smarter computing for all types of users. We’re especially excited about what’s coming next in our ThinkStation P8 workstation, where AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper PRO processors will open new possibilities for creators and professionals." www.amd.com
