AMD launches Radeon Pro W6600X for Mac Pro
AMD announced an update to its Radeon Pro product line with the launch of the Radeon Pro W6600X for the Mac Pro, giving Apple‘s pro users more options. The new GPUs are based on the RDNA 2 architecture to accommodate Apple’s professional application and creative workload needs.
The Radeon Pro W6600X uses the Navi 23 core and is equipped with 32 computing units, that is, 2048 stream processors, with a single-precision floating-point computing capacity of 9.8 TFLOPs and a half-precision floating-point capacity of 19.6 TFLOPs. Its Infinity Cache is 32MB, the video memory bit width is 128 bits, 8GB of GDDR6 video memory, and the video memory bandwidth reaches 256GB/s.
AMD Radeon PRO W6600X GPU features include:
- Award-Winning AMD RDNA 2 Architecture – AMD RDNA 2 architecture offers an array of advanced features elevating professional graphics to new levels of performance, efficiency and visual fidelity.
- High-speed GDDR6 memory – Up to 8GB of GDDR6 memory with up to 256 GB/s bandwidth provides ultra-fast transfer speeds to power data-intensive professional applications.
- AMD Infinity Cache – 32MB of last-level data cache integrated on the GPU die is designed to reduce latency and power consumption to enable higher performance than traditional architectural designs.
- Visual Excellence – With 8K processing and HDR support, the AMD Radeon PRO W6600X GPU enables new levels of creativity by enhancing video compositing and editing for professional workflows.
“The AMD Radeon PRO W6600X GPU completes the AMD Radeon PRO W6000X product family, providing a mid-range solution with great performance for graphics-rich content creation,” said Scott Herkelman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “AMD is proud to offer Mac Pro users a comprehensive portfolio of powerful graphics solutions with amazing performance to meet all their creative design and content creation needs.”
AMD Radeon Pro W6000X series GPUs provide Mac Pro with a variety of graphics options, all optimized for extreme performance, scalability, and configurability. Previously, AMD provided Radeon Pro W6800X/W6900X/W6800X Duo three products based on the RDNA 2 architecture, all of which use the Navi 21 core and have a relatively high positioning. If it is a relatively mainstream user, there will be a lack of GPU options for the new architecture, and can only choose the Radeon Pro W5700X/W5500X, the previous generation products based on the RDNA architecture.
