Today AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced new additions to the AMD Radeon™
PRO W6000 Series desktop and mobile workstation graphics lineup,
designed to deliver exceptional performance, stability and
reliability for professional users, including CAD designers,
engineers and office knowledge workers.
The new AMD Radeon PRO W6400 graphics card is built on the
high-performance, energy efficient AMD RDNA™ 2 graphics
architecture and advanced 6nm manufacturing process technology,
with 16MB of high-bandwidth, low-latency AMD Infinity Cache™ memory
technology acting as a bandwidth amplifier. Offering an ideal blend
of performance and efficiency at an affordable price, the new
graphics card is optimized for the requirements of today’s popular
CAD and office productivity applications in a compact design that
can be easily added to modern small-form-factor desktops.
Compared to the previous generation, the AMD Radeon PRO W6400
graphics card delivers up to three times higher performance1 in
Autodesk AutoCAD© 2022 during 3D orbit rotational tests in shaded
modes. It also offers up to 87 percent higher performance2 in
McNeel Rhino using the Holomark 2 benchmark with mesh, object and
model data stress tests. The new graphics card also offers
performance gains in typical office applications and workloads,
such as videoconferencing, email and web browsing, where
reliability and stability are key.
Additions to the AMD Radeon PRO product family also include the
AMD Radeon™ PRO W6500M and AMD Radeon™ PRO W6300M GPUs for next-gen
professional mobile workstations. The new GPUs are also built on
AMD RDNA 2 graphics architecture with 6nm process technology and
harness up to 8MB of AMD Infinity Cache memory technology to
deliver ultra-high viewport frame rates, dependability and
exceptional performance for professional applications.
“Work patterns have changed dramatically over the last year,
requiring professional users to work more efficiently and complete
projects faster than ever,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice
president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “The
Radeon PRO W6400 is a powerful graphics card that harnesses the
award-winning AMD RDNA 2 architecture feature set, enabling not
only mainstream CAD professionals to produce incredible and complex
designs, but also meeting the demands of today’s office workers who
need to edit images, create presentations, collaborate and
multitask more than ever. In addition, the new AMD Radeon PRO W6000
Series mobile graphics provide the ideal combination of performance
and mobility to drive a range of workloads for professionals on the
go.”
High-Performance and Advanced Features The new
additions to the AMD Radeon PRO product family deliver an ideal
combination of performance, efficiency, and affordability for
mainstream professional users. Key features include:
- AMD RDNA 2
Architecture: The award-winning AMD RDNA 2 graphics
architecture delivers up to 94 percent faster performance over
previous generation GCN architecture3.
- AMD Infinity Cache™ Memory
Technology: Up to 16MB of last-level data cache (L3)
integrated on the GPU die is designed to reduce latency and power
consumption, enabling higher performance compared to previous
architectural designs.
- Advanced Features:
AMD Radeon PRO W6000 Series graphics offer hardware-accelerated
raytracing, remote working capabilities4, 8K display support, the
latest PCIe® 3.0 and 4.0 high-speed data transfer, VR creator
support5, HDR Ready support and Quad-buffer stereo – all supported
as standard features.
- Viewport
Boost6: The dynamic
resolution technology is designed to improve frame rates in
GPU-limited scenarios. By intelligently lowering resolution only in
scenarios where fast in-viewport movement is detected, it can
deliver a significant improvement in interactivity without
impacting user-perceived image quality.
- Application
Certifications: AMD continues to work with leading
professional software application vendors such as Autodesk, Robert
McNeel & Associates, and others to help ensure AMD Radeon PRO
graphics cards are built and tested to meet exceptional standards,
delivering the stability and reliability required by workstation
professionals. The list of certified applications can be
