AMD Radeon PRO V710
Radeon PRO V710 from AMD is now available on Microsoft Azure. The Radeon PRO V710, the newest GPU in AMD’s family of visual cloud GPUs, was unveiled today. New capabilities for the public cloud are brought by the Radeon PRO V710, which is now available on Microsoft Azure in private preview.
Using the open-source AMD ROCm software, the 54 Compute Units of the AMD Radeon PRO V710, in conjunction with 28GB of VRAM, 448 GB/s memory transfer rate, and 54MB of L3 AMD Infinity Cache technology, facilitate light to medium ML inference workloads and small model training.
When combined with support for PCI Express SR-IOV compliant hardware virtualization, instances built around the Radeon PRO V710 may provide strong isolation between different virtual machines operating on the same physical GPU as well as between the host and guest environments. Excellent performance per watt is made possible by the effective RDNA 3 design, which also allows for a single slot, passively cooled package factor that complies with PCIe CEM specifications.
Modern PC games can run smoothly with complex visual effects enabled due to AMD Infinity Cache technology and outstanding ray tracing performance compared to AMD RDNA 2. For streaming, hardware video encoders enable AV1, HEVC (H.265), and AVC (H.264). Machine learning computational speed is enhanced with the inclusion of AI accelerators for effective matrix multiplication and support for AMD’s open-source ROCm software.
Cloud gaming, AI/ML use cases, desktop-as-a-service, and workstation-as-a-service are all excellent fits for the Radeon PRO V710.
A series of instances built on the Radeon PRO V710 and tailored for various GPU-accelerated applications will be available via Microsoft Azure. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) will support V710-based Linux virtual machines in addition to Windows and Linux operating systems, making the deployment of container-based workflows easier.

NVads V710 V5-series
AMD Radeon Pro V710 GPUs and AMD EPYC 9374F (Genoa) CPUs, which have a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and an all-core max frequency of 4.3 GHz, power the NVads V710 v5 series virtual machines. Virtual machines (VMs) use AMD’s Simultaneous Multithreading technology to allocate specific vCPU threads to every VM. VMs running Linux and Windows are supported.
Five configurations are available in the series, ranging from a complete V710 GPU with a 24-GiB frame buffer to a 1/6 of a GPU with a 4-GiB frame buffer. To utilize AMD GPU-based virtual machines, no additional GPU license is needed. NVMe is also supported by the NVads V710 v5 virtual machines for ephemeral local storage.
In order to provide a smooth end user experience and a cost-effective option for a broad spectrum of graphics-enabled virtual desktop experiences, the NVads V710 v5-series supports right-sizing for demanding GPU-accelerated graphics apps and cloud-based virtual desktops. Additionally, the virtual machines (VMs) are sized to provide excellent, engaging cloud gaming experiences, with complicated graphics rendering and streaming optimized.
By using the computational IP blocks in the Radeon Pro V710 GPUs, the NVads V710 v5-series virtual machines also handle small to medium AI/ML inference workloads, including recommendation systems, sematic indexing, and SLMs.
