AMD Quietly Introduces Radeon PRO W7400: Entry-Level RDNA 3 Workstation GPU with 55W TDP
AMD has discreetly expanded its RDNA 3 workstation lineup with the Radeon PRO W7400, a highly power-efficient, single-slot GPU designed for budget-conscious workstation users. Positioned as the slowest RDNA 3 PRO model, the W7400 is aimed at compact and low-power professional setups rather than gaming systems.
The Radeon PRO W7400 shares much of its hardware with the PRO W7500, including 28 Compute Units, 28 Ray Accelerators, 56 AI Accelerators, and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. However, its memory configuration is notably weaker, delivering only 172.8 GB/s of bandwidth due to a 10.8 Gbps memory speed. In comparison, the W7500 uses faster 16 Gbps GDDR6 for higher throughput. This results in compute performance of 7.9 TFLOPS for FP32 and 15.8 TFLOPS for Peak Single and Half Precision.
One of the standout features of the W7400 is its extremely low 55W TDP, which is 15W lower than the W7500. The card draws all its power from the PCIe x16 slot, eliminating the need for an external power connector. It uses a PCIe 4.0 interface with eight lanes, matching the W7500 and W7600.
Physically, the W7400 is a compact, single-slot card measuring just 6.6 inches in length 1.9 inches shorter than the W7500. This makes it an excellent fit for small-form-factor workstations and compact server chassis. It also supports the latest video codecs, including AV1 encoding and decoding, catering to modern multimedia workflows.
While AMD has yet to announce official pricing or availability, the W7400 is expected to be priced below the W7500 and could appeal to professionals seeking a cost-effective workstation GPU with solid efficiency and media capabilities.
What do you think will AMD’s W7400 find its audience among small-form-factor workstation builders, or will the reduced memory bandwidth be a dealbreaker?
