Since the 2007 series, high-end and ultra-end FireGL/FirePro products (based on the R600 architecture) have officially implemented stream processing. However, some FirePro cards may have major feature differences to the equivalent Radeon card, such as ECC RAM and differing physical display outputs. Because they use the same drivers (Catalyst) and are based on the same architectures and chipsets, the major differences are essentially limited to price and double-precision performance. Their Radeon counterparts are suited towards video games and other consumer applications.
The FirePro line is designed for compute intensive, multimedia content creation (such as video editors), and mechanical engineering design software (such as CAD programs). The user-mode drivers as well as the kernel-mode drivers for AMD FirePro products have additional features, and also (not depicted here) additional interfaces. The new brand for servers is Radeon Instinct.įeatures Multi-monitor support In July 2016, AMD announced it would be replacing the FirePro brand with Radeon Pro for workstations. ĭeprecated brand names are ATI FireGL, ATI FirePro 3D, and AMD FireStream. The first FireGL board used the 3Dlabs GLINT 3D processor chip. The FireGL line was originally developed by the German company Spea Software AG until it was acquired by Diamond Multimedia in November 1995. 3.1.10 FirePro Workstation Series (Wx300).3.1.9 FirePro Workstation Series (Wx100).3.1.7 FirePro Workstation Series (Wx000).Radeon Instinct is the current brand for servers.Ĭompetitors included Nvidia's Quadro-branded and to an extent, Nvidia Tesla-branded product series and Intel's Xeon Phi-branded products. The release of the Radeon Pro Duo in April 2016 and the announcement of the Radeon Pro WX Series in July 2016 marked the succession of Radeon Pro as AMD's professional workstation graphics card solution.
The product line is split into two categories: "W" workstation series focusing on workstation and primarily focusing on graphics and display, and "S" server series focused on virtualization and GPGPU/High-performance computing.
the graphics card) differentiate substantially by the provided graphics device drivers and through the available professional support for the software. The GPU chips on FirePro-branded graphics cards are identical to the ones used on Radeon-branded graphics cards. AMD FirePro was AMD's brand of graphics cards designed for use in workstations and servers running professional Computer-aided design (CAD), Computer-generated imagery (CGI), Digital content creation (DCC), and High-performance computing/ GPGPU applications.
