AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 Performance For OpenCL Workloads
At $1299 USD the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 was consistently delivering much better value than the more expensive NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation graphics card.
Across all of the OpenCL benchmarks conducted, the Sapphire Radeon AI PRO R9700 was operating the coolest out of all the tested graphics cards.
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 was consuming more power than the RTX 4000 Ada Generation graphics card but less than the Radeon PRO W7900 on average.
For OpenCL workloads the Radeon AI PRO R9700 at $1299 USD was delivering much better value than the RTX 4000 Ada Generation graphics card currently retailing for around $1449 USD. For the workloads properly supporting multi-GPU OpenCL, the dual Radeon AI PRO R9700 was very competitive with the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation graphics card especially for performance-per-dollar but often leading in raw performance too.
So while all of the marketing talk for the Radeon AI PRO R9700 is about "AI", the Radeon AI PRO R9700 does play nicely with OpenCL on ROCm 7 for those interested in this ~$1300 graphics card.
