Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean

Memory: the specification that decides everything

Memory

16 GB

Bandwidth

448 GB/s

Largest model

Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B

16 GB of GDDR6 puts the Radeon Pro W5700X comfortably into small and mid-sized models, with roughly 14.4 GB usable once the driver overhead is taken out. The largest models are out of reach without splitting them.

The memory bus moves 448 GB/s across a 256-bit bus. That is the number that governs generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.

Bandwidth is clock times bus width, and this card clocks its memory at 1.75 GHz. Both halves matter, and neither is visible in a gaming benchmark.

The biggest thing it holds is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B (31.6B) at Q3_K_M compression, for about 70.2 tokens per second.

The chip and how it was built

The Radeon Pro W5700X is built on the Navi 10 graphics processor, using AMD's RDNA 1.0 architecture, as part of the Radeon Pro Mac(Navi Series) generation.

The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 7 nm process, with a die measuring 251 mm², holding 10.3 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.

It was released in December 2019, roughly 6 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.

Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks

FP16

20.9 TFLOPS

FP64

652.8 GFLOPS

On paper the Radeon Pro W5700X reaches 20.9 TFLOPS at half precision and 10.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.

Double-precision throughput is 652.8 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.

Clocks run from 1.24 GHz at base to 2.04 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.

Cache and processing units

backed by 4 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.

There are 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.

Power, size and installation

Power draw

205 W

The Radeon Pro W5700X is rated at 205 W, with a 550 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.

The board occupies a quad-slot, measuring 305 mm long. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.

It connects over Apple MPX. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step

How to work out the tokens per second of a Radeon Pro W5700X

You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.

  1. 01

    Find the model in the table

    All 432 models the Radeon Pro W5700X handles are already listed. The search box takes a name or a size such as 27b, which matches on parameter count.

  2. 02

    Decide how long your conversations run

    Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and on 16 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.

  3. 03

    Choose how far you will compress

    Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.

  4. 04

    Take the range as the answer

    Each speed is an estimate for a single conversation, with a range beneath it — 148 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B at the top end here. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.

  5. 05

    Check the headroom before you decide

    The fit column separates models that just fit from those with room to spare — worth checking against the card's 16 GB before settling on one.

  6. 06

    Open the model to compare cards

    Every model name in the table links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across every card we hold. That is where you see whether the Radeon Pro W5700X is the right buy for it or merely a card that fits.

Answers

Radeon Pro W5700X — common questions

01

What is the memory bandwidth of a Radeon Pro W5700X?

The Radeon Pro W5700X has 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 256-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.

02

What type of memory does a Radeon Pro W5700X use?

It uses GDDR6 clocked at 1.75 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.

03

Who makes the Radeon Pro W5700X?

The Radeon Pro W5700X is a AMD product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 7 nm process.

04

When was the Radeon Pro W5700X released?

The Radeon Pro W5700X was released in December 2019.

05

How much power does a Radeon Pro W5700X use?

The Radeon Pro W5700X has a rated board power of 205 W, and a 550 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.

06

How much cache does a Radeon Pro W5700X have?

and 4 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.

07

What are the TFLOPS of a Radeon Pro W5700X?

The Radeon Pro W5700X is rated at 20.9 TFLOPS at half precision and 10.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.

08

Does the Radeon Pro W5700X support CUDA?

No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and the Radeon Pro W5700X is a AMD card. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.

09

What bus interface does the Radeon Pro W5700X use?

It uses Apple MPX. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.

10

Is the Radeon Pro W5700X good for running local AI models?

Its memory covers small and mid-sized models, though the largest are out of reach and its bandwidth gives usable, if unspectacular, generation speeds. In total it runs 432 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.

11

Can a Radeon Pro W5700X run a model that does not fit in its memory?

It can be split, with the overflow held in system memory — but that part drags the whole thing down, and none of the 16 GB figures on this page assume it.

12

Would two Radeon Pro W5700X cards be twice as fast?

Pairing Radeon Pro W5700X cards buys headroom rather than pace: 32 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.

13

What AI models can a Radeon Pro W5700X run?

432 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Radeon Pro W5700X and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.

14

What is the largest AI model a Radeon Pro W5700X can run?

The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Radeon Pro W5700X is Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B at 31.6B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 70.2 tokens per second and needs about 14.4 GB of the card's memory.

15

How many tokens per second does a Radeon Pro W5700X produce?

It depends on the model. On a Radeon Pro W5700X the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 148 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.

16

Can a Radeon Pro W5700X run a 7B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon Pro W5700X runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 22.1 tokens per second.

17

Can a Radeon Pro W5700X run a 13B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon Pro W5700X runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q6_K, using about 13.7 GB of memory and generating around 74.7 tokens per second.

18

Can a Radeon Pro W5700X run a 30B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon Pro W5700X runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q3_K_M, using about 12.9 GB of memory and generating around 79.2 tokens per second.

19

How much memory does a Radeon Pro W5700X have?

A Radeon Pro W5700X has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 14.4 GB available for a model and its conversation.
