After a series of new products submitted FirePro, which are essentially generation APU Trinity, AMD introduced a new line of professional graphics accelerators based on the architecture of Graphics Core Next (GCN). It consisted of accelerators AMD FirePro W9000, W8000, W7000 and W5000.
Contrary to the assumptions, the video card AMD FirePro W9000 was not two-chip product for the professional segment, and, judging by the specifications, analogous to the desktop the HD 7900. AMD introduced this accelerator, as the most productive among the professional graphics card, which is characterized by a capacity of 4 TFLOPS single precision operations, and 1 TFLOPS – double that previously attributed to the two-chip version.
New items, as well as the entire line cards FirePro, designed to work with CAD-and CAE-applications, 3D-modeling and other professional calculations.
Presented accelerators support modern technology AMD – Eyefinity (except for model W5000), ZeroCore, PowerTune. Maximum resolution is the working space 4096 x 2160 pixels.
The flagship of the new family, W9000, carries a 6 GB of memory GDDR5, a memory bus width of 384 discharge capacity of 264 GB / s and is characterized by a TDP of 274 Tues
W8000 and W7000 models are equipped with 4 GB of memory and have a width of 256 bits bus with a capacity of 176 and 154 Gb / s, respectively. W8000 boasts a capacity of 3,23 TFLOPS on operations in single precision and 806 GFLOPS – with a double, W7000, in turn, is characterized by a modest 2,4 TFLOPS and 152 GFLOPS. TDP for W8000 and W7000 models are at least 225Vt and less than 150 watts, respectively.
The lowest model W5000 limited memory capacity of 2 GB and bus width of 256 bits with a capacity of 102.4 GB / s. Its performance, according to AMD, is maximal in the budget segment of professional accelerators – 1,3 TFLOPS in single-precision operations and 79,2 GFLOPS – with a double. Power consumption of the accelerator early in the new line is below 75 watts, which allows the model W5000 go without supplementary feeding.
AMD has evaluated new products in the amount of $ 3,999, $ 1,599, $ 899 and $ 599 for the W9000, W8000, W7000 and W5000, respectively.
