AMD Radeon Pro Duo Launches April 26th

AMD Radeon Pro Duo Launches April 26th

Let me first state that the release date is a rumor that popped up over the weekend, not a fact. According to sources at HardwareBattle, AMD is to launch the Dual FIJI GPUs based Radeon Pro Duo in roughly three weeks time. AMD recently announced the product on its Capsaicin-event at GDC 2016.

The Radeon Duo Pro with its two FIJI GPUs are tied towards a thick 120mm liquid cooling solution. The product will offer 16 teraflops of performance, indicating two fully enabled Fiji XT GPUs. AMD Radeon Pro Duo (dual-GPU Fiji) was developed under code-name Gemini would have 8 GB HBM1 graphics memory with a whopping 8192 stream processors.

The specs below are not final yet based up-on assumptions (they should be pretty conclusive though). The AMD Radeon Pro Duo is expected to sell at a SEP of $1499 USD.

Radeon Pro Duo Radeon R9 Fury X Radeon R9 Nano Radeon R9 390X
Fabrication Process 28nm 28nm 28nm 28nm
GPU Fiji XT x2 Fiji XT Fiji XT Hawaii / Grenada
Streaming Processors 2x 4096 4096 4096 2816

Memory Clock up-to 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps up-to 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps up-to 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps 6.0 Gbps
Core Clock 1050 MHz 1050 MHz up-to 1000 MHz 1050 MHz
Memory Bandwidth up-to 512 GB/s up-to 512 GB/s up-to 512 GB/s 384 GB/s
Power Connectors 3 x 8-pin 2 x 8-pin 1 x 8-pin 1 x 6-pin - 1 x 8-pin

One Radeon Fury X pushes close to 8.6 TFLOPS of performance, the dual-GPU version offers over 16 TFLOPs of single precision performance. And yes a dual-GPU Fiji would have 8 GB HBM1 graphics memory with 8192 stream processors. The product is rated to have a 250 Watt TDP and is powered by three 8-pin PEG connectors.

Why would they still bother with this when two months later we get Polaris which will smash the old arch anyways..

Hopefully smashes the old arch.

Core clocks up to 1000MHz i think, so its basically 2x Nanos for $1500, having a giraffe. :P

I thought the Polaris (and Pascal) consumer cards being released this summer aren't the top of the top models. In that case this card wouldn't have a particular competitor. Although I still don't know who would bother to buy an expensive card from the previous generation anymore.

Not sure about that to be honest, as the Polaris 10 is the midrange chip in the upcoming lineup and it's the Vega that is designed to be the highest end version, where the GPU size might be around the same ballpark as the current Fiji GPU, but made using the 14nm + finfet process, so way faster for the same amount of power use.


Radeon pro duo still "cheats" by using 2 GPU's working together and relying on crossfire scaling from 1 to 2 GPU's ( can be 80~90% scaling in some titles ), so I expect big pascal GP100 or Vega to match this but using a single GPU in either case.



It's already known that Big Pascal GP100, released in a tesla variant for the HPC market needs a lot of dual precision math capability (~ 5 teraflop ), is a chip packing 15.3 billion transistors.......The current maxwell in the Geforce 980TI / Titan is a chip with 8 billion, while Fiji is 8.9 billion.



So nothing using a single GPU will beat the Radeon pro duo this year, but once gaming versions for both GP100 and Vega are out, it's over for this card as the performance it can achieve using 2 GPU's on one card, can be done using a single one, use less power and be cheaper.
