I was searching through the AMD website on my journey through the different graphics cards currently on the market and I noticed something. I’ve never seen and AMD branded graphics card being sold, only GPUs included in other companies cards (Asus making AMD card). Does AMD make their own cards? If so, where can I find them?

They don't make their own cards, they design the chip and a reference cooler then sell that to other companies.

In one of the LTT YouTube videos with Linus’ son, he used a Radeon Pro (I think) that looked very similar to the card advertised on the AMD website. Are there just cars that look similar?

AMD and Nvidia do produce their own cards, usually known as reference cards. However, their board partners can copy the exact same design and sell them without changes, and these are still called 'reference cards'. The difference on AMD's side is that those directly from AMD have 'Radeon' logo on the fan while board partners put their own logo instead. On Nvidia's side, they can only be distinguished from the boxes carrying them.

 

Why would you want them? They dont keep the card as cool as open air coolers you can find board partners sell.
