GEC NEWS WIREAMD unveiled powerful new solutions to address modern content creation and engineering: the new Radeon Pro WX Series of professional graphics cards. The new brand, targeting ten million professional graphics users, harnesses the award-winning Polaris architecture and is designed to deliver exceptional capabilities for the immersive computing era.
Radeon Pro WX Series professional graphics cards, based on Polaris architecture, are designed to intersect these new industry inflection points.
“We have taken a long, hard look at the workstation space and chose to focus on what we define as ‘the art of the impossible.’ Radeon Pro represents a powerful alternative to the old way of doing things, setting aside proprietary solutions for open source ones, and closed ecosystems in favor of greater choice and flexibility,” said Raja Koduri, Senior VP and Chief Architect, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD.
Jon Peddie, President and Founder, Jon Peddie Research said, “By offering highly capable graphics hardware and harnessing the best open source software, whether from AMD or contributors worldwide, they are effectively building a huge ecosystem to address the demanding challenges faced by graphics application designers.”
Based on the Polaris architecture, the new Radeon Pro WX Series graphics cards employ the latest advances in AMD’s 4th generation Graphics Core Next architecture, uncompromising 4K video decode and encode support including HEVC2 and VP9 and next generation display support including DisplayPort 1.4-HDR3 and HDMI 2.0, all built on a power efficient 14nm FinFET manufacturing technology.
