Why Doesn't AMD Offer Long-Term GPU Availability Like Nvidia?

[janb]

We have used the AMD Radeon PRO W6800 in our product, which we loved. But then after just 3 years it became unavailable, we were first planning to switch to the W7700. Since AMD doesn't offer a long-term availability program, we had to switch to the Nvidia RTX A4000, which is guaranteed until 2029.

Does anyone know how long the W7700 will be available? And why doesn’t AMD offer something like Nvidia’s embedded program for professional GPUs?

The only person that can give you this specific information is your AMD liaison or authorized supplier. Unlike their business processor lines (Ryzen Pro or EPYC), they do not explicitly offer guaranteed available-through dates disclosed on their product pages. If your application requires a stable platform with a hardware supply assurance contract, you will probably need to give AMD itself a call and inquire about it directly.

Good luck.
