These Polaris based cards are once again aimed at the traditional professional market and are set to replace the FirePro Wx100 series and FirePro Wx300 series. The first Radeon Pro cards with the WX prefix to be announced were the WX 7100, the WX 5100 and the WX 4100 in July 2016. Radeon Pro WX series are graphics cards designed specifically for professional applications used in engineering, design, content creation, and science. It was expected to be available in Q4 of that year. The Pro V series was announced in August 2018 with the Vega-based Radeon Pro V340, a dual-GPU flagship card for use in datacenter virtualization, supporting up to 32 virtual machines at a time, as well as several other potential uses for Computer-aided design, general rendering tasks, and Desktop as a Service. The liquid cooling part supported a higher TDP, and was able to reach and sustain higher clock speeds, but otherwise the two products have similar hardware specifications. Ultimately, two Frontier Edition products were released with either air or liquid cooling. The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition uses the new "Next-Gen Compute Unit" and 16GB of HBM2 memory for an expected 13.1 TFLOPs of single precision and 26.2 TFLOPs of half precision performance. While not branded as a Pro product, the card is marketed within the Radeon Pro series. The Vega card also increased the built in solid-state storage to 2TB.ĪMD announced in May 2017 the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, for release in June of that year.

The card utilizes 16GB of second generation ECC high bandwidth memory (HBM2), an upgrade from the Fiji-based card's 4GB of first generation HBM memory.

In July 2017, AMD released the Vega-based Radeon Pro SSG. The Fiji-based Radeon Pro SSG card was available as a beta program. This SSD storage space can be made available to the operating system or controlled entirely by the GPU. AMD demonstrated a 5.3 fold increase in performance on 8K video scrubbing. Users will be able to add up to 1TB of PCIe M.2 NAND flash memory to improve render and scrubbing times. This expansion of quick access storage will, therefore, relieve the issue of latency that occurs when a GPU has to retrieve information from a mass storage device via the CPU when a card's limited VRAM is maxed out in heavy workloads. SSG stands for Solid State Graphics, and the card will couple AMD's Fiji core with solid-state storage to increase the frame buffer for rendering. Using AMD Radeon's GCN 3 architecture, the Radeon Pro SSG was unveiled in July 2016. While this results a smaller number of compute units and lower theoretical performance, it allows for the inclusion of 32GB GDDR5 SDRAM and a lower board power. The newer version of the Pro Duo utilizes dual GPUs from the Polaris architecture, using the same GPUs as in the WX7100. In April 2017 AMD announced a new version of the Radeon Pro Duo for release the following month. The aesthetics and marketing of the Pro Duo follow that of the rest of the Fury products in the 300 series. The card features 2 liquid cooled R9 Nano cores & was marketed strongly for both the running and creation of virtual reality content with the slogan "For Gamers Who Create and Creators Who Game". The first card to be released under the Radeon Pro name was the dual GPU Radeon Pro Duo in April 2016. Its price at launch was 499 US Dollars.Main articles: List of AMD workstation GPUs and List of AMD mobile workstation GPUs Radeon PRO series Radeon Pro Duo (2016) The card measures 173 mm in length, 112 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Radeon Pro WX 5100 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. Display outputs include: 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 713 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1086 MHz, memory is running at 1250 MHz (5 Gbps effective).īeing a single-slot card, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 75 W maximum. AMD has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon Pro WX 5100, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. It features 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon RX 480, which uses the same GPU but has all 2304 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon Pro WX 5100 to reach the product's target shader count.

The Ellesmere graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 232 mm² and 5,700 million transistors. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Ellesmere graphics processor, in its Polaris 10 PRO GL variant, the card supports DirectX 12. The Radeon Pro WX 5100 is a high-end professional graphics card by AMD, launched on November 18th, 2016.
