While traditional CAD/CAM remains an important area for AMD, the company feels that those markets can now be served by even entry-level parts – almost no one is throwing five-thousand line shaders at CAD – so instead AMD’s focus is on what the company considers emerging workloads in the professional market workloads that require more 3D rendering performance. RDNA also brings several other changes to AMD’s hardware that improve its efficiency and overall throughput, including a reworked geometry engine, an updated display engine block, and PCIe 4.0 compatibility.įor the W5700 then, AMD is using their latest round of improvements to focus on getting the card into the hands of real time visualization and VR users. Which combined with the other changes gives the W5700 a 41% perf-per-watt advantage over the last-generation WX 8200, according to AMD. The biggest advancement here is a roughly 25% improvement in IPC over the Vega (GCN 5) architecture. So while the naming is aligned, AMD isn’t just slapping a coat of (pretty) blue trim on an RX 5700.Īt any rate, AMD is looking to use Navi and the RDNA architecture to do for workstation graphics what it’s already done for consumer graphics: significantly boost AMD’s performance and power efficiency through the combination of RDNA and TSMC’s 7nm process.īriefly, RDNA incorporates a number of changes to AMD’s core GPU architecture in a bid to improve IPC and the resulting efficiency – to get more work done out of its wide array of compute/shader hardware, and to do so while consuming less power.

AMD has developed a separate board just for the W5700, with specific accommodations just for the workstation market. Though make no mistake, the card’s product number may have “5700” in it and specifications close to the RX 5700 series, but it’s still very much its own card.

RDNA is the heart and soul of AMD’s current generation and future generation GPUs, and AMD wants potential customers across all of their markets knowing that, and what RDNA brings to the table.

This follows years of using names like W9000, W9100, and WX 9100, which have been wholly detached from the rest of AMD’s video cards.įor AMD, the change in naming and positioning comes as the company is looking to build on the goodwill from and the messaging they’ve already done for the RDNA architecture as part of the Radeon RX 5000 series launch. Starting with this generation, AMD’s model numbers are now going to match their consumer part numbers, beginning with the W5700 and presumably being fleshed out farther down the line to include the likes of the W5500 and W5300.

And indeed, that’s even the direction AMD is taking with the entire Radeon Pro W series lineup. To that end, today AMD is announcing the first Navi-based Radeon Pro card, the Radeon Pro W5700.įrom a high level perspective, the W5700 can be thought of as the workstation analog to AMD’s consumer Radeon RX 5700 (XT). With their new Navi GPUs and the underlying RDNA architecture in hand, the company is now looking to apply that technology to their workstation video cards, which have been and continue to be an important facet of AMD’s overall GPU business.

AMD RADEON PRO MAC

A Mac Pro with two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Modules starts out at $15,599-each W6800X Duo racking up $5,000.Taking a break from their recent run of consumer-focused video card launches, this morning AMD is turning their attention to the professional side of the market. If those rumours are true, let's hope AMD is a little more generous when it comes to pricing than Apple. AMD is rumoured to be producing a graphics card with chiplets, one that might just blur the lines of what constitutes a single GPU. Yet that's not to say we won't see something similar in our gaming PCs. It might be a monster for making games, at least.

In short, this Radeon Pro Duo isn't going to suddenly make the Mac Pro a gaming monster.

Where once drivers were built to satisfy the needs of users running either dual-graphics card or dual-GPU systems, that's not often the case today. Sadly, the days of dual-GPU gaming graphics cards have passed. It's the bandwidth on offer with that connection that offers high performance between the two GPUs and will save time when running compute-heavy tasks. Each W6800X Duo includes an Infinity Fabric connection that straddles its two GPUs-one and the same with the interconnect used to bridge chiplets within AMD Ryzen Zen 2 and newer processors. The benefit of such a setup is not only raw compute power, but also more bandwidth to match.
