I had a Radeon 9700 Pro 23 years ago. It was pretty good for the time.

Betting these will find a home in the university environment, but the Radeon Pro needs better software support, I would rank their support as last compared to the other 2 in the professional sphere. Intel is nascent in this space but has always done a solid job working ensuring software exist to support on professional applications (Linux, Adobe, etc...) as well as having the home field advantage on iGPU so many things already translate, while Nvidia is the gold standard, if money isn't a concern nobody buys anything else.

But is it load balanced?

Could you please just stop to suggest that you can just stack GPUs over PCIe for additive compute power and model sizes?

That works as well as trying to create a 96 core EPYC equivalent server from a bunch of 8-core notebooks linked via WIFI or Gbit Ethernet.

"For some strange reason, AMD compared the Radeon AI Pro R9700 to the GeForce RTX 5080."

AMD may have simply picked the RTX 5080 for comparison due to it being the only competitor's model having half the amount of vram as the R9700, while also being marketed as developer hardware.
