AMD a lansat FirePro S9170 care are… „doar” 32GB VRAM!!!

Dupa ce AMD a lansat o noua seria de placi video pe piata consumer, acum este randul pietei profesionale sa primeasca ceva: AMD au lansat recent o placa video numita FirePro S9170 Accelerator, succesoarea modelului S9150. S9170 vine cu un procesor grafic bazat pe arhitectura Grenada si are… 32GB VRAM GDDR5!!! Placa este compatibila OpenCL 2.0 si este destinata pentru DGEMM si servere. GPU-ul are 2816 procesoare stream tactate la 930MHz, 176 TMU si 64 ROP. Puterea de calcul este de 2.62TFLOPS in Double Precision si de 5.24 TFLOPS in Single Precision. Memoria de 32GB VRAM este cea mai mare disponibila in lume in acest moment, din urma venind Nvidia Tesla K80 care are „doar” 24GB VRAM. Intrebare idioata: oare cum ar merge GTA 5 cu atata memorie VRAM? 🙂 In lista de mai jos gasiti specificatiile oficiale:

• With up to 2.62 TFLOPS of peak double precision performance, the AMD FirePro S9170 is the fastest single-GPU server card available for DGEMM heavy workloads, delivering up to 40% more performance than the competitive solution;
• Support for 40% better double precision performance, while using 10% less power than the competition;
• The AMD FirePro S9170 is the industry’s first server GPU with 32GB ultra-fast GDDR5 on-board memory and features a 512-bit memory interface for 320 GB/s of memory bandwidth;
• Equipped with 32GB of GDDR5 memory, the AMD FirePro S9170 GPU can accelerate memory-intensive applications and process larger and more computationally complex workloads with ease; and
• The AMD FirePro S9170 GPU features 33% more memory than the competitive GPU, helping to improve overall workload speed and system responsiveness, especially when working with large amounts of data. via AMD
