AMD Introduces the Radeon PRO V710 to Microsoft Azure

AMD today introduced the Radeon™ PRO V710, the newest member of AMD’s family of visual cloud GPUs. Available today in private preview on Microsoft Azure, the Radeon PRO V710 brings new capabilities to the public cloud.

The AMD Radeon™ PRO V710's 54 Compute Units, along with 28GB of VRAM, 448 GB/s memory transfer rate, and 54MB of L3 AMD Infinity Cache™ technology, support small to medium ML inference workloads and small model training using open-source AMD ROCm™ software.

With support for hardware virtualization implemented in compliance with the PCI Express® SR-IOV standard, instances based on the Radeon PRO V710 can provide robust isolation between multiple virtual machines running on the same physical GPU and between the host and guest environments. The efficient RDNA™ 3 architecture provides excellent performance per watt, enabling a single slot, passively cooled form factor compliant with the PCIe CEM spec.

Outstanding ray tracing performance relative to AMD RDNA 2, combined with AMD Infinity Cache™ technology allow modern PC games to run smoothly with advanced visual effects enabled. The hardware video encoder supports streaming use with support for AV1, HEVC (H.265) and AVC (H.264) encoding and decoding¹. The addition of AI accelerators for efficient matrix multiplication and support for AMD’s open source ROCm™ software provide improved computational performance for machine learning.

The Radeon PRO V710 is ideally suited for Desktop-as-a-Service, Workstation-as-a-Service, cloud gaming and AI/ML use cases.

Microsoft Azure will be offering a family of instances based on the Radeon PRO V710, optimized for a range of GPU-accelerated workloads. In addition to support for Linux and Windows operating systems, V710-based Linux virtual machines will be supported by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), simplifying deployment of container-based workflows.
