AMD's new Radeon Pro 500 lives in the new Macs
AMD's biggest
client at the moment is probably Apple. The chip maker supplied the 2016
Macbook Pro 15 refresh with the Radeon Pro 555 and 560 graphics cards and now
has a new Radeon Pro 500 series of graphics cards for the freshly upgraded 2017
iMac.
The new Radeon Pro
500 line, which is based on the Polaris architecture, has five models - from
the Radeon Pro 555 with 1.3 TFLOPS of peak performance and 81 GB/S of bandwidth
all the way to the 5.5 TFLOP, 217 GB/S Radeon Pro 580 with the Pro 560, Pro 570
and Pro 575 graphics cards sitting in between.
Each of the new
graphics chips has more memory bandwidth than the previous Radeon Pro 400
series of cards, which all were 80GB/S.
Keep in mind that this isn't the Radeon Pro
Vega graphics found in the iMac Pro 2017 - that one is more powerful and based
on the Vega GPU architecture.
