Feeding W5100 is 4GB of VRAM attached to a 128-bit memory bus and clocked at 6GHz.Ĭompared to the outgoing W5000 the W5100 gains the usual VRAM capacity upgrades that the rest of the Wx100 cards have seen, while the other specifications are a mixed bag on paper. It is clocked at approximately 910MHz, which puts its compute performance at 1.4 TFLOPS for single precision.
In terms of specifications, the W5100 utilizes a slightly cut-down version of Bonaire with 768 SPs active. W5100 replaces the outgoing W5000, which was a heavily cut-down Pitcairn part. This part is based on AMD’s Bonaire GPU, a GCN 1.1 GPU that has been in AMD’s portfolio for over a year now but has not made it into a FirePro part until now. The second card being introduced today is the W5100. AMD is primarily targeting the engineering and media markets with the W7100, as its compute performance and 8GB of VRAM should be enough for most engineering workloads, or alternatively its VRAM capacity and ability to drive 4 4K displays makes it a good fit for 4K video manipulation. In AMD’s product stack the W7100 is designed be a budget alternative to the W9100 and W8100, offering reduced performance but at a much lower cost. And because it gets AMD's newest GCN display controller, W7100 is particularly well suited for 4K displays, being able to drive 3 displays or 4 4K displays if some operate at 30Hz.

Like the W7000 before it, the W7100 is equipped with 4 full size DisplayPorts, allowing for a relatively large number of monitors to be used with the card. 1280), but without clockspeeds we can’t say for sure. Overall compute/rendering performance should also greatly be increased due to the much larger number of stream processors (1792 vs. Along with the doubling W7000’s memory from 4GB to 8GB, the Tonga GPU in W7100 inherits Hawaii’s wider geometry front-end, allowing W7100 to process 4 triangles/clock versus W7000’s 2 tris/clock. The W7100 is designed to be a significant step up compared to the outgoing W7000. Coupled with that is 8GB of GDDR5 clocked at 5GHz sitting on a 256-bit memory bus. However while AMD is announcing the W7100 today they are not disclosing any additional information on Tonga, so while we can draw some basic conclusions from W7100’s specifications a complete breakdown of this new GPU will have to wait for another day.įrom a specification point of view AMD is not disclosing the GPU clockspeed or offering any floating point throughput performance numbers, but we do know that W7100 will feature 1792 stream processors. Named Tonga, this new GPU is a smaller, lower performance part that slots in under the Hawaii GPU used in the W9100 and W8100. Whereas the previous-generation W7000 was based on a second-tier version of AMD’s venerable Tahiti GPU, the W7100 gets a brand new GPU entirely, one that we haven’t seen before. Starting at the top, from a technical perspective the W7100 is the most interesting of the new FirePro cards.

With a handful of exceptions, the bulk of these upgrades are straightforward, focused on making AMD’s entire FirePro lineup 4K capable, improving performance across the board, and doubling the amount of VRAM compared to the past generation to allow for larger data sets to be used.ĪMD FirePro W Series Specification Comparison These parts are based on a range of AMD GPUs – including Tonga, a new GPU that has yet to show up in any other AMD products – and are designed to the sub-$2500 market segment that the current W8100 tops out at.

As part of the company’s gradual FirePro refresh that began with the W9100 in April and followed by W8100 in June, today AMD is gearing up to refresh the rest of their FirePro lineup with new products for the mid-range and low-end segments of the pro graphics market.īeing announced today are the FirePro W7100, W5100, W4100, and W2100.

Kicking off a busy day for professional graphics, AMD is first up to announce that they will be launching a quartet of new FirePro cards.
