Designed to occupy three expansion slots, video cards not only emerge from the imaginations of Nvidia and AMD partners, but also from companies like Radeon Pro. For over a year, they’ve been offering the Radeon Pro W7900 in this form. At the Computex 2024, the company showcased the results of its optimized design, unveiling the dual-slot Radeon Pro W7900 at a reduced price.
Originally, the Radeon Pro W7900 was priced at a recommended $3,999. But the optimized dual-slot version is now priced at $3,499. This reduction in size and weight had little effect on its other features. The video card still offers 96 compute units, 192 raster units, and 48GB of GDDR6 memory with a 384-bit interface. The memory supports the ECC error correction feature; moreover, the video card has its own 96MB cache. The Navi 31 graphics processor uses the RDNA3 architecture and operates at 2.5 GHz, with the TDP level not exceeding 295W.
It’s clear that a more compact cooling system would be noisier than a larger one; however, AMD did not make any comparisons in this regard. It seems the cooling system was shared with Radeon Pro W7800, which was introduced last year. This series of video cards is intended for installation in workstations used for local acceleration of artificial intelligence systems. The dual-slot version of the Radeon Pro W7900 will go on sale on June 19, coinciding with the release of Windows-based ROCm 6.1. This will allow developers to create their software solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, with the capability to combine up to four such video cards in one system. Programs developed for Linux can run in a Windows environment using ROCm 6.1.
