Exciting developments are on the horizon for AMD fans, as the company appears to be expanding its Radeon AI PRO R9000 “RDNA 4” lineup. Recent information has surfaced about new GPU models, the R9700S and R9600D, which promise to enhance AMD’s offerings in the AI and consumer-grade graphics market.
Unveiling New Additions to AMD’s GPU Lineup
Currently, AMD’s Radeon AI PRO R9000 series, built on the RDNA 4 architecture, features only the Radeon AI PRO R9700. This powerful graphics card hit the retail market last month, priced at $1299 US, boasting 32 GB of memory alongside advanced AI capabilities. However, it seems AMD is gearing up to introduce more GPUs in this lineup. Reports suggest that the Radeon AI PRO R9700S and Radeon AI PRO R9600D have been mentioned on AMD’s support page, although specific details and specifications remain unavailable at this time.
Speculations and Potential Features
The naming conventions provide some clues about these new GPUs. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700S might be a mobile variant, potentially marking the debut of RDNA 4 GPUs in the mobile market. Until now, these GPUs have been exclusive to desktop models. This could change with the R9700S, expected to feature a Navi 48 GPU core and up to 32 GB of VRAM, presenting competition to the RTX 5090 laptop GPU, which also offers 32 GB VRAM. The RX 9070 XT’s impressive performance against the RTX 5080 in recent gaming benchmarks further anticipates similar AI capabilities for the R9700S.
Meanwhile, the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9600D is speculated to be a specialized Navi 44 variant. The “D” label has not been used by AMD before, unlike its “S” label for mobile chips. There’s speculation it might be a Chinese-specific SKU, following a pattern similar to NVIDIA. This notion is supported by recent Linux drivers from AMD that include support for the Chinese-compliant Radeon PRO W7900D and the R9600D.
Anticipation is building for more announcements on these consumer-friendly AMD Radeon AI PRO R9000 “RDNA 4” GPUs, likely at the upcoming CES 2026. This event could serve as the perfect platform for AI-related product revelations.
