In response to the needs of professional workers, AMD announced the launch of the Radeon PRO series of professional graphics cards using the RDNA2 architecture, including W6800 and W6600, which have high performance and have passed most professional software certifications.
With the development of the game and the progress of the effect, playing high-end games now must be matched with a high-end graphics card. However, in addition to e-sports, there are also some users who require high-performance graphics cards, especially in the field of professional software applications. Whether it is CAD/CAM or content creators, they need to use professional graphics cards. At present, the two largest graphics processor manufacturers, in addition to launching high-performance gaming graphics processors, will also use the same architecture design to launch professional-grade products. Although they have the same architecture design, professional-grade products have different software support or matching components. In particular, most professional graphics cards are directly introduced by the original manufacturers, and the quality and life of the parts used are different from those of game cards.
AMD launches Radeon PRO W6000 series of professional graphics cards for professionals
AMD recently launched the Radeon RX6000 series of gaming graphics cards with RDNA2 architecture, providing excellent gaming performance. Now announce the launch of Radeon PRO series of professional graphics cards with the same architecture, including Radeon PRO W6800, W6600/W6600M products, to provide professional workers with high-performance, stable and high-reliability graphics cards, and better energy efficiency to cope with High workload, such as high-end audio and video editing processing, ultra-high-resolution video processing, complex engineering design or simulation applications.
Compared with competing products, W6800 has attractive performance and price
The Radeon PRO W6000 series of professional graphics cards with RDNA2 architecture are differentiated in the market with different performance and configuration. Radeon PRO W6800 is designed for the high-end professional market, while Radeon PRO W6600 has a good price-performance ratio, and because of its lower power consumption performance, there is also a W6600M version for notebook computers with configurable power consumption. It is set and will be shipped with notebook computers of major brands.
Radeon PRO W6800 adopts dual-slot design and provides six outputs
Radeon PRO W6800 graphics processor
The graphics processor of Radeon PRO W6800 adopts the TSMC 7nm process, with up to 26.8 billion transistors in a 520mm² chip area, 3840 Stream processors and 60 computing units (CU) inside to provide high-efficiency computing, Functions such as ray tracing. With up to 32GB of GDDR6 display memory, the single-precision 32-bit floating point number calculation capability is up to 17.83 Teraflops. The W6800 has six mini DisplayPort outputs and a dual card slot design. The power consumption is up to 250W, which is equivalent to the previous generation product, but with higher performance, allowing better performance per watt. W6800 is priced at US$2250, which is much cheaper than rival products in terms of performance.
Radeon PRO W6600 adopts a single slot design and provides four outputs
Radeon PRO W6600 graphics processor
The graphics processor of Radeon PRO W6600/W6600M also adopts the same 7nm process of course. Its chip area is slightly smaller at 237mm², and the number of transistors is 11.06 billion. It has 1792 stream processors, 28 CUs, and also provides hardware light. Tracking technology function. With 8GB of GDDR6 memory, it has 10.4 Teraflops single-precision 32-bit floating-point calculation capabilities. The display output has four standard DisplayPorts, the maximum power consumption is 100W, and the display card adopts a single-slot design. The W6600 is priced at US$649 and is suitable for moderate to high workloads.
Due to the low power consumption of Radeon PRO W6600, AMD also uses this chip to launch the W6600M dedicated to notebook computers. More specifically, it is set to a configurable power consumption of 65W-90W, allowing mobile computer manufacturers to use it according to their needs. It is known that HP will soon launch a notebook computer using W6600M, and other brand manufacturers will soon launch related products.
In fact, the Radeon PRO W6000 series also has some features, including AMD Infinity Cache, which is an L3 cache integrated in the graphics processor. W6800 has 128MB and W6600 has 32MB to provide lower latency and improve graphics. Processor performance. Of course, it also has Smart Access Memory, allowing AMD Ryzen 5000 or other supported processors to access high-speed GDDR6 memory.
W6000 series supports AMD Radeon PRO Viewport Boost for better performance
In particular, it supports AMD Radeon PRO Viewport Boost. This technology allows professional application loads and supported software to be displayed at a faster speed when the work changes the viewing angle.
Radeon PRO W6000 series graphics cards are certified by major professional software
In addition to hardware performance, it is more important that professional graphics cards are compatible with most professional software in the market. The Radeon PRO W6000 series of professional graphics cards have cooperated with major well-known software vendors and obtained certifications to ensure that the graphics cards operate correctly in various well-known professional software.
