From Tom's Hardware: The AMD Radeon Pro W7700 16GB was revealed today at the Supercomputing 2023 conference. This will be AMD's first Navi 32-based workstation GPU, with a price of $999, and it should be available for purchase soon. (AMD lists a Q4 2023 timeframe, one which we're already sitting in.)
As a workstation part, we expect significantly higher prices than consumer GPUs. The core specifications appear to be roughly on par with the Radeon RX 7800 XT, which costs half as much, but with drivers that are better tuned for professional workloads. AMD dug itself a bit of a hole, however, as it already has a W7800 professional part, so it had to use the W7700 name on the newcomer. Here's a rundown of the specifications from the various Radeon Pro W7000-series parts.
The new W7700 provides an interesting blend of potential performance and features. It has the same memory bandwidth as the W7800, for example, but half the capacity. It also has the same amount of Infinity Cache (L3). That's because both configurations use four MCDs (Memory Cache Dies), though the W7800 has the larger Navi 31 GCD (Graphics Compute Die) while the W7700 uses Navi 32. But the price of the W7700 lands significantly below the high-end professional GPUs at just $999.
