Solid lineup. Though red theme fits more

So as you know, AMD's vision today is to bring good performance to consumers. But don't worry, they have announces new Radeon Pro WX series GPUs which bring great performance for content creation at lower price, size and TDP.

 

So first off is the beefiest Polaris GPU you can get, the Radeon Pro WX 7100.

It features over five TFLOPS of compute performance in a single PCI-e packaging. This is one of the bonuses of workstation cards, since you can put multiple GPUs and not consume much power or heat. It's meant for VR content creation and it's price should be under 1000$.

 

Next up is the Radeon Pro WX 5100, a good card for video rendering and game developement.

As you can see it features over four TFLOPs of compute performance in a single slot, but shorter packaging.

 

And last but not least is the Radeon Pro WX 4100.

This is more of an SFF card where you need to put performance in tight cases. It's meant for CAD and other 3D rendering programs.

 

Note that they also released the Radeon Pro SSG, a complete mindblow, but it's already covered by zMeul so check out his post for more detail.

 

I have to say, good job AMD.

You may want to add this table to the OP.

It's from Anandtech.

No but the WX 7100 should have slightly worse hardware compared to an RX 480. (32 CUs vs 36 CUs)

 

the Wx 5100 should perform slightly worse than an RX 470 (28 CUs vs 32 CUs)

 

and the WX 4100 should perform around an RX 460 (16 CUs vs 16 CUs).

 

Of course the drivers will be different and cooling solution is different as well as TDP and VRAM.

How will they be tuned to better perform for the tasks they're set for? Why not just by an Rx series then? 

Also thanks!!
