— AMD RDNA architecture delivers up to 25 percent higher performance-per-clock1 and up to 41 percent higher average performance-per-watt2 than the previous-generation AMD architecture to power demanding 3D design, real-time visualization and VR workloads —

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700, the world’s first 7nm professional PC workstation graphics card. It delivers new levels of performance and advanced features that enable 3D designers, architects and engineers to visualize, review and interact with their designs in real time, dramatically accelerating decision-making processes and product development cycles.   

The AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 workstation graphics card features the high-performance, energy-efficient AMD RDNA architecture and state-of-the-art GDDR6 memory to handle large models and datasets, and is the first PC workstation graphics card to support high-bandwidth PCIe® 4.0 technology. It is ideal for professionals who push performance beyond traditional 3D design by generating photorealistic renders of their concepts and reviewing virtual prototypes of their designs in virtual reality (VR) environments.  

“Today’s professionals need high-performance professional graphics hardware to better interact with their product concepts and make more informed decisions sooner in the design process,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon™ Technologies Group at AMD. “We designed the AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 to deliver significant performance gains in top design and manufacturing applications. Architects, designers and engineers now have the horsepower to drive demanding real-time and VR experiences, enabling a better and faster design creation process.”

1 RDNA provides up to 1.25x higher performance per clock over GCN. Testing done by AMD performance labs 5/23/19, showing a geomean of 1.25x per/clock across 30 different games @ 4K Ultra, 4xAA settings. Performance may vary based on use of latest drivers. RX-327

2 The AMD RDNA architecture delivers up to 41% higher average performance per watt than the previous AMD GCN architecture when tested with the SPECviewperf® 13 benchmark sw-04 viewset, creo-02 viewset, 3dsmax-06 viewset, Enscape “Mansion” demo, Unity internal automotive benchmark, and the Unity VR demo “London Office”. Testing as of October 25, 2019 by AMD Performance Labs on a production system comprised of an Intel® Xeon® W-2125, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Windows® 10 Pro for Workstations, 64-bit, System BIOS 1.11.1, AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 graphics powered by the RDNA architecture, AMD Radeon™ Pro Software for Enterprise 19.Q4 versus AMD Radeon™ Pro WX 8200 graphics card powered by the GCN architecture. Metric: Calculate performance per watt with benchmark application score divided by GPU wattage, and then average across a variety of benchmark applications. AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 graphics power TDP: 190W. AMD Radeon™ Pro WX8200 graphics power TDP: 230W. Note: TDP of the AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 was adjusted to 190W to reflect actual TDP for graphics, and not include TDP for USB (the WX 8200 does not have USB) for parity. Benchmark Application: SPECviewperf 13 snx-03. AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 score: 342.49. AMD Radeon™ Pro WX8200 score: 297.47. Benchmark Application: SPECviewperf 13 creo-02. AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 score: 219.99. AMD Radeon™ Pro WX8200 score: 196.49. Benchmark Application: SPECviewperf 13 3dsmax-06. AMD Radeon™ Pro W5700 score: 181.98. AMD Radeon™ Pro WX8200 score: 161.34.
