Navi 31, AMD’s biggest GPU to date, finally makes its appearance in the Radeon Pro family with a pair of powerful accelerators.
Almost four months to the day after the launch of its Navi 31-based Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards, AMD is now releasing the first Radeon Pro boards based on the same architecture. The Radeon Pro W7900 and Radeon Pro W7800 are both high-end professional graphics cards with potent compute acceleration and video processing prowess.AMD has abandoned the YInMn blue color scheme for its Pro products, and the new cards have a very understated black-and-silver aesthetic—not that anyone really probably cares overmuch what the cards look like, because these are of course intended for workstations and servers, not gaming rigs.So, you’d probably expect the Radeon Pro W7900 to be based on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and you’d be right: the same 96 unified compute units, for a total of 6144 shaders. Interestingly, despite claiming the same 61 TFLOP number as on the gaming-focused XTX card, the Radeon Pro W7900 has its total board power spec slashed from 355W down to just 295W. That should help to keep it cool, along with a three-slot blower design—the first three-slot card in the Radeon Pro family.
