AMD has announced the arrival of the FirePro 9100. It is a video card for workstations equipped with a Hawaii GPU and 16GB gddr5. According to AMD, the video card for the business market can control six UHD screens.

This is a pre-announcement: AMD will not release the specific details about the card until later. It is clear that it is a card with Hawaii GPU with all its 2816 stream processors activated. The clock speeds are unknown, but AMD says the video card will offer single precision floating point computing power of more than 5 teraflops and 2 teraflops in double precision fp calculations. It is also clear that the card will contain no less than 16GB of gddr5, where the predecessor with 6GB was already well equipped with memory. Furthermore, the card will be able to control six UHD screens and for this purpose just as many mini-displayports are available.

AMD focuses on use in workstations and at the same time as the announcement, the company announces that it will use the Ultra Workstation designation and divide these devices with FirePros into three segments: the least powerful, with a W9100, is for cad applications, for example, while the most powerful model, with four W9100 cards, should also be capable of color correction when processing 4k content. All workstations have at least 32GB of memory and an octacore.
