New AMD FirePro\u2122 W9000, W8000, W7000 and W5000 Workstation Graphics Cards are Optimized and Certified for Leading Professional Software Applications to Deliver Exceptional Graphics Experiences to the Workstation Market<\/em><\/p>\n

Sydney Australia \u2014 August 7, 2012 \u2014<\/strong> Today, AMD launched its latest line of workstation graphics, leading with the AMD FirePro\u2122 W9000 Graphics Processing Unit- the most powerful workstation graphics card<\/a> ever created1<\/sup>. The AMD FirePro\u2122 W9000 GPU features incredible compute, increased memory bandwidth and greater multi-display support performance than the competing solution1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Following closely are the AMD FirePro\u2122 W8000, W7000 and W5000 workstation graphics cards, all built on the AMD Graphics Core Next Architecture<\/a>, and designed to balance compute and 3D workloads efficiently for computer-aided design and engineering, and for media and entertainment (M&E) professionals. The AMD FirePro W9000, W8000, W7000 and W5000 GPUs are optimized and certified for leading software applications enabling users to unleash their creativity by ensuring ultra-high geometry performance.<\/p>\n

The latest AMD FirePro\u2122 workstation graphics cards can enable smooth handling of complex models and feature dynamic power management that enables great performance and efficient power usage. Using AMD Eyefinity<\/a> technology, the AMD FirePro W9000, W8000, and W7000 GPUs can drive up to six, 30\u201d independent displays via Multi-Stream Transport (MST) hubs for maximum workspace utilization at ultra-high 4096×2160 resolutions2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs professionals work with larger data sets that demand advanced visualization and complex models, they need a graphics solution that is fast, powerful, and reliable,\u201d said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD Graphics. \u201cCertified for today\u2019s software applications, the new AMD FirePro workstation graphics cards bring a range of features and capabilities for professionals working in digital signage, broadcast graphics,CAD\/CAE and M&E, delivering the ideal balance of power, performance and reliability at the right price point.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the latest AMD FirePro workstation graphics offerings, graphics professionals can create more complex models and interact with them in real time, helping improve workflows and boost productivity. Through GCN and GeometryBoost , the state-of-the-art AMD FirePro W9000 workstation GPU delivers a record shattering 1.95 billon triangles per second, which is 1.5 times as great as the competitor\u2019s most powerful workstation graphics card, and up to 83 percent greater memory bandwidth than the competing solution, for outstanding application responsiveness1,3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupermicro is excited to bring the latest generation of AMD FirePro professional graphics cards first to market in our SuperWorkstations,\u201d said Don Clegg, vice president, Marketing and Business Development at Supermicro. \u201cOur SuperWorkstations combined with FirePro deliver phenomenal 3D graphics performance and maximize workflow and productivity. Digital content creation and computer-aided design professionals will be thrilled by the accelerated performance of our combined efforts and upcoming FirePro-based solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AMD FirePro\u2122 W8000 workstation GPU, features Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory support and offers category leading dual-precision compute performance, up to 2.2 times as fast as the competing solution4. This helps professionals experience greater accuracy in calculations performed for structural and molecular analysis and computational fluid dynamics without impacting application performance. Not to be outdone, the AMD FirePro\u2122 W7000 workstation GPU is up to five times as fast as the competing solution in single-precision compute performance, while the AMD FirePro\u2122 W5000 workstation GPU is the most powerful mid-range workstation graphics card ever created, delivering significantly better resolution, memory and display output performance than the competing card5,6<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

The AMD FirePro W9000, W8000, W7000 and W5000 workstation graphics cards are optimized and certified for leading workstation applications. Additionally, these new AMD FirePro cards support PCI Express\u00ae 3.0 and AMD PowerTune and AMD ZeroCore Power technologies for dynamic power management7, 8<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
