AMD today announced the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 workstation graphics card, designed for manufacturing and architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) professionals.

AMD also announced the AMD Radeon Pro W5500M GPU, designed and optimized to power next-generation, high-performance professional mobile workstations.

AMD Radeon Pro W5500 graphics harness the AMD RDNA architecture, 7 nm process technology, high-speed GDDR6 memory, high-bandwidth PCI Express 4.0 support and software features.

The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card delivers high multitasking performance, allowing professionals to continue developing their designs while rendering a visualization in the background.

Key capabilities and features of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card and the Radeon Pro W5500M GPU include:

• AMD RDNA Architecture - Features a redesigned geometry engine and compute units, delivering up to 25 percent higher performance-per-clock than the previous-generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture.
• Multitasking Performance - AMD says that the Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card is offering up to 10x better estimated application workflow performance than the competition (NVIDIA Quadro P2200) in the SPECviewperf 13 benchmark under a multitasking load.
• Power Efficiency - AMD claims that the Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card consumes up to 32 percent less system power on average in SOLIDWORKS solid modeling workflows than the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 offering.
• Software - Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise offers performance improvements in each release and is optimized for demanding 24/7 computing environments, with OEM platform and ISV certification testing. The latest driver (20.Q1) achieves up to an estimated 15 percent faster geomean score in the SPECviewperf 13 benchmark than version 19.Q1 from 2019.
• AMD Remote Workstation - Allows professionals to access their physical workstations from virtually anywhere with rich graphics experiences using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Microsoft Remote Desktop.

The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card is expected to be available from retailers beginning mid-February 2020, for an SEP of $399 USD.
