High-Performance AMD Radeon GPUs to Power All-New Mac Pro
June 03 2019 - 3:32PM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced that its new AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega
II GPUs will be included in the all-new Mac Pro. Built on
industry-leading 7nm process technology, AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega II
GPUs provide groundbreaking levels of graphics performance for
computation-intensive tasks, including rendering, 8K video, video
effects, and other high-end content creation workloads.
AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega II GPUs provide exceptional computational
performance by harnessing 7nm AMD Radeon Vega family GPUs,
ultra-fast High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2), and AMD Infinity Fabric
Link GPU interconnect technology that dramatically enhances
data-transfer speeds between GPUs. Providing up to 14 TFLOPS of
single-precision floating-point (FP32) performance and up to 28
TFLOPS of half-precision floating-point (FP16) performance, AMD
Radeon™ Pro Vega II GPUs are optimized for powering demanding
professional applications.
“Today’s high-end professional content creation applications are
driving an insatiable need for ever increasing levels of processing
power and memory,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president
and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD. “Equipped
with Radeon™ Pro Vega II GPUs, the new Mac Pro delivers the
computational horsepower and memory bandwidth to power ultra-high
screen resolutions and help dramatically accelerate compute and
content creation workloads, enabling creative professionals to
focus on unleashing their creativity and delivering amazing
results.”
“AMD continues to develop amazing graphics technologies to
accelerate workflows for professionals who rely on DaVinci Resolve
for faster color correction and editing,” said Dan May, president,
Blackmagic Design. “Radeon Pro Vega II delivers outstanding
performance, especially when DaVinci Resolve is put to work with 8K
video footage combined with various filters.”
Key capabilities and features of AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega II
GPUs include:
- Leading-edge compute performance – The AMD
Radeon™ Pro Vega II GPU delivers up to 14 TFLOPS of
single-precision FP32 performance and up to 28 TFLOPS of
half-precision FP16 performance.
- Support for Infinity Fabric Link GPU interconnect
technology – With up to 84GB/s per direction low-latency
peer-to-peer memory access1, the scalable GPU interconnect
technology enables GPU-to-GPU communications up to 5X faster than
PCIe® Gen 3 interconnect speeds2.
- Ultra-fast HBM2 memory – 32GB of high-speed
HBM2 memory delivers 1TB/s memory bandwidth, providing the memory
capacity and data transfer speeds required by today’s
high-resolution, multi-display setups, 8K video, and other
demanding content creation workloads.

Cautionary Statement
This press release contains forward-looking statements
concerning Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) including AMD’s
expected benefits associated with utilizing AMD Radeon™ Pro Vega II
GPUs in Apple’s next-generation Mac Pro, which are made pursuant to
the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly
identified by words such as "would," "intends," "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "intends," "plans,"
"pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the negative of these
words and phrases, other variations of these words and phrases or
comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the
forward-looking statements in this document are based on current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of
this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such
statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other
future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and
statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, without
limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the
microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may
limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply
agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obligations to
purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements,
and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, manufactured
at process nodes larger than 7 nanometer from GF with limited
exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing
requirements, AMD’s business could be adversely impacted; AMD
relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they
are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and
using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially
adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing
yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial
results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its
ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and
performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic and
market uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and
operating results; AMD’s products may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could have a material adverse effect on AMD;
IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks could
compromise AMD’s intellectual property or other sensitive
information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to
its business, reputation and operations; AMD’s operating results
are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD may not
be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations
or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of
indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position
and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its
contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and
the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD
that may adversely affect AMD’s ability to operate its business;
the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; AMD’s worldwide operations are subject to political,
legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a
material adverse effect on it; the conversion of the 2.125%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest
of AMD’s existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price
of its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and
shipment of AMD’s products could materially adversely affect it;
the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the market
conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations
in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of these
industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new products in a
timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property;
AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture
and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform
components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft
Corporation’s support for its products or other software vendors do
not design and develop software to run on AMD’s products, its
ability to sell its products could be materially adversely
affected; and AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and
add-in-board partners subjects it to certain risks. Investors are
urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not
limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 30, 2019.
