AMD Announces FirePro W9100 16GB Workstation Graphics Card | EDGE Computing


Featuring 16GB of GDDR5 memory, the FirePro W9100 is the latest workstation-class graphics card from AMD. The W9100 packs three times the power of its predecessor the W9000. Get your FirePro W9100 from EDGE Computing!

The AMD FirePro W9100 is based around a 28nm implementation of the Graphics Core Next 1.1 'Hawaii' architecture, an upgrade from the GCN 1.0 'Tahiti' of its predecessor. Although full specifications aren't due to be announced until early next month, the company has confirmed an increase from 2,048 stream processors to 2,816 and from 128 texture units to 176. The result: five teraflops of single-precision compute performance, or 2.67 teraflops of double-precision.
