The Sunnyvale giant has expanded its catalog of professional graphics cards with the Radeon Pro W6400, a model that falls within what we can consider as economic range, and that maintains the most important keys of AMD’s RDNA2 architecture, including the presence of dedicated hardware to accelerate ray tracing.
Externally, the Radeon Pro W6400 has a design that maintains all the keys that we have seen in the AMD Radeon Pro series, including the blue color with white touches. The cooling system used by this graphics card is very simple, and is made up of a small size radiator and a fan.
The Radeon Pro W6400 is a graphics card that It has all the certifications, and the support in professional applications, which has AMD’s Radeon Pro series. This is important, since it implies that, although we are dealing with an economic model, those values to which we have just referred are not lost. Therefore, this graphics card is prepared to work with classic 2D CAD tasks, Autodesk and other relatively light workloads that do not require high 3D power, although this does not mean that it is not capable of moving well in three-dimensional environments. , and with these loads.
To help consumers choose the solution that best suits them, and coinciding with the presentation of the Radeon Pro W6400, AMD has shared a simple graph where it collects the models it recommends based on workload that we want to move forward. Thus, for example, if we are going to perform 3D CAD tasks, we should opt for a Radeon Pro W6600.
Returning to the Radeon Pro W6400, we are going to review in detail its Specifications, since this will allow us to get a much clearer idea of what it offers.
- Navi 24 graphics core at 6nm.
- 768 shaders.
- 48 texturing units.
- 32 raster units.
- 12 units of ray tracing acceleration.
- 64-bit bus.
- 3.54 TFLOPs of performance in FP32.
- 16MB infinite cache.
- 4 GB of GDDR6 memory at 14 GHz.
- Integrated AMD Secure Processor.
- PCIE Gen4 x4 interface.
- Two DisplayPort connectors (we can use two screens at the same time).
- Consumption: up to 50 watts.
The Radeon Pro W6400 has a single-slot design, which means that it occupies a single PCIE slot, and it also has a very compact size, since it is almost the same length as a pen (it measures 69 mm in height and 16.8 cm in length, as we can see in the image) .
AMD has confirmed that the Radeon Pro W6400 will be available this quarter priced at $229, a fairly affordable figure considering what it offers, and that we are facing a new generation model with all the advances of the RDNA2 architecture. In terms of performance, this model represents, as we can see in the attached graphs, a significant leap compared to its direct rival.
Alongside the Radeon Pro W6400, AMD also introduced two new solutions for professional notebooks, the Radeon Pro W6500M and the Radeon Pro W6300M. The first is a cheap mid-range solution, and the second is a low-end model. Both use the RDNA2 architecture and are manufactured on the 6nm process. Before we finish, let’s review your keys.
