AMD Adds another 16GB to FirePro W9100 Workstation Card now 32 GB of Memory

AMD announced the new AMD FirePro W9100 32 GB -- the world's first workstation graphics card with industry leading 32 GB memory support for large asset workflows with creative applications planned for availability in Q2 2016. 

"The imagination of the creator is limitless so much so that the professional creator consumes all available resources to produce new and never before seen designs and experiences. Some professional creative workflows demand very high bandwidth memory subsystems while others demand high memory size. AMD pioneered the era of High Bandwidth and Ultra Efficient Memory through the introduction of HBM technology in 2015 and will bring it to content creators with the introduction of Radeon Pro Duo graphics. With the new AMD FirePro W9100 32 GB, AMD is unleashing the world's largest memory size professional workstation graphics card," said Raja Koduri, senior vice-president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group (RTG), AMD. "Along with exceptional hardware, AMD is also delivering software tools to leverage our high bandwidth and large memory GPU configurations effectively."
