AMD prototype Radeon AI Pro R9700 found by 'a friend,' posted to Reddit — a real-life reference design model of AMD's artistic render

AMD GPU.

A Redditor took to the social media platform to ask for guidance on a GPU their friend found. The images in the original post show a unit labeled as AMD Radeon with what appears to be four rubber pegs at the back. There’s also a sticker near the pins marking the graphics card as “Engineering Sample NOT for Qualification” and saying that it was “Made in China-ATI/PCP NOT FOR RESALE” and dated 10/01/25.

One of the first commenters in the post suggested that the graphics card is an AMD Radeon AI Pro R9700, which was first announced at Computex 2025. The card that AdagioScray3267's friend has in their hands looks remarkably similar to AMD’s reference design, which AMD has clearly labeled as an artistic rendering in the PowerPoint presentation. The mysterious graphics card also has a sticker stating 300W — the same TDP as the R9700. This GPU is basically a Radeon 9070 XT with double the VRAM and is optimized for workstations and AI workloads.
