AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Radeon™ PRO W6000
series workstation graphics, delivering exceptional performance,
stability and reliability for professional users. The new graphics
products were designed and optimized to power demanding
architectural design workloads, ultra-high resolution media
projects, complex design and engineering simulations, and advanced
image and video editing applications.
Built on award-winning AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture, the foundation
of next generation, high-powered PCs, laptops and many of today’s
game consoles, the new product line features the AMD Radeon PRO
W6800, the fastest AMD RDNA workstation graphics card ever1. It
also includes the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 graphics card, meticulously
engineered for ultra-high performance workflows, and the AMD Radeon
PRO W6600M GPU, designed to power professional mobile
workstations.
“AMD RDNA 2 was designed from the ground up to deliver
world-class performance for a wide range of applications and
workloads,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and
general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “Bringing this
breakthrough architecture to our workstation graphics lineup allows
users to tackle much larger datasets, dramatically reduce render
times, and speed processing of highly complex models and
simulations. The AMD Radeon PRO W6000 series gives professionals a
powerful new tool in their arsenal to accelerate projects and bring
creative visions to life.”
Key capabilities and features of the new AMD Radeon W6000 series
workstation graphics include:
- Award-Winning AMD RDNA 2 Architecture – Built
on the advanced 7nm manufacturing process, AMD RDNA 2 architecture
introduces an array of advanced features elevating professional
graphics to new levels of performance and efficiency.
- Enhanced Compute Units with Realtime
Hardware-Accelerated Raytracing – Enhanced Compute Units
(CU) with Ray Accelerators offer up to 46 percent faster rendering
than Radeon PRO graphics cards based on previous-generation
architectures in SOLIDWORKS Visualize 20212. Support for Variable
Rate Shading (VRS) delivers real-time photorealistic viewports and
rendering.
- AMD Infinity Cache – Up to 128MB of last-level
data cache integrated on the GPU die is designed to reduce latency
and power consumption, enabling the AMD Radeon PRO W6800 to deliver
the highest RDNA workstation GPU performance to date1.
- Smart Access Memory – Unlocks higher
performance for key professional workloads by giving AMD Ryzen™
5000 Series Desktop Processors or select AMD Ryzen 3000 series
Desktop Processors access to the entire high-speed GDDR6 graphics
memory3.
- AMD Radeon™ PRO Viewport Boost – Designed for
today’s professional workloads and compatible software to help
viewport frames-per-second performance increase with project file
sizes4.
- Certified for leading professional
applications – AMD continues to work with leading
professional software application vendors to help ensure AMD Radeon
PRO graphics cards are built for demanding 24/7 environments and
tested to meet exceptional standards, delivering the stability and
reliability required by workstation professionals. The list of
certified applications can be found here.
