Apple today introduced three new graphics modules for the Intel-powered Mac Pro. The new graphics modules include the Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module, the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, and the Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Module.
As CNN’s Jake Krol tweeted reported, the new graphics modules are said to offer up to 23% faster performance in DaVinci Resolve and 84% faster performance in Octane X. The modules will be available for individual purchase through Apple's online store (prices to be announced), so existing Mac Pro users can also upgrade their devices.
AMD Radeon Pro W6800X
For workstation-class graphics and demanding professional applications, choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X with 32 GB of GDDR6 memory and up to 512 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This graphics option features AMD's RDNA2 architecture, which delivers up to 16.0 teraflops of single-precision or 32.0 teraflops of half-precision calculations. It supports up to six 4K displays, three 5K displays, or three Pro Display XDRs.
AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX module
To boost your graphics performance even further, choose the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX module, ideal for even the most demanding multi-GPU pro applications. The module features two W6800X GPUs, each with 32GB of GDDR6 memory, providing up to 512GB/s of memory bandwidth. The two GPUs are connected onboard with Infinity Fabric Link, and two W6800X Duo modules can be bridged to allow four W6800X GPUs to communicate with each other.
AMD Radeon Pro W6900X
For maximum workstation-class graphics and demanding professional applications, choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X with 32 GB of GDDR6 memory, which offers a memory bandwidth of up to 512 GB/s. This graphics option features AMD's RDNA2 architecture and delivers up to 22.2 teraflops of single-precision or 44.4 teraflops of half-precision computing power. It supports up to six 4K displays, three 5K displays, or three Pro Display XDRs.
The new modules are priced at Build-to-Order Mac Pro configurations between 589 and 13,340 euros. (Photo by hadrian / Bigstockphoto)
