AMD Announces Radeon Pro WX 8200

AMD has announced the Radeon Pro WX 8200, a professional video card with Vega 10 GPU and 8GB hbm2, which will hit the market in September for a suggested retail price of $999. AMD focuses on use for real-time visualization, virtual reality and rendering.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200’s single-precision performance is 10.8 tflops lower than the WX 9100, which achieves 12.3 tflops. Half-precision performance is also lower at 21.5 tflops versus 24.6 tflops. AMD introduced the WX9100 in October last year, but that card costs a lot more with a suggested retail price of $ 2199.

AMD has disabled 8 of the 64 compute units of the Vega 10 with the WX 8200, bringing the total number of stream processors to 3584. The Radeon Pro WX 8200 has a memory interface of 2048 bits wide and there is 8GB hbm2, while the WX 9100 has 16GB. Like that card, the WX 8200 has AMD’s High Bandwidth Cache Controller, the Enhanced Pixel Engine, error correcting code memory, and the Secure Processor. Four mini-displayport 1.4 outputs are provided.

AMD will release its new card in the Radeon Pro series in early September for a suggested retail price of $999.
