AMD released new mobile FirePro cards, possible hints about new mobile Radeons.

While checking AMD's website I found something very interesting. AMD has posted information about its new FirePro Cards, as well as the names of unreleased Dell and HP workstations that will be using them. AMD FirePro
What is interesting though is that the top card uses a 12 CU/768 Stream processor configuration which is the only discrete graphics card by AMD to have such a configuration, although surprisingly so does the GPU in XBone's APU (but still not a discrete GPU). Judging from the RAW Compute power if the new chip, it easily destroys both the desktop 7770GHz edition and the XBone GPU thanks to very high clocks and it even manages to get close to the 7790. This means that the GPU powering the FirePro M6100 is a mystery. There are two possible option here: 1st it is a Bonaire GPU (7790) with 2 of its CUs disabled and clocked higher, or 2nd it is an all new GPU. The first case is much more likely as both GPUs feature 16 ROPs and 64 Z/Stencils, and although the M6100 has only 48 TMUs compared to 56 for the 7790, the 8 lost TMUs are proportional to the 2 lost CUs.
As for the M5100 it seams to be nothing more than a re-branded Cape Verde chip similar to the older Radeon 8800M series and ForePro M6000.
The M4100 is an Oland part. AMD FirePro

This will most likely lead to the upcoming mobile Radeon GPUs with M6100, M5100, and M4100 classified as Radeon R9-M280X, R9-M270X, and R7-M260 (the X variant will probably be clocked much higher) respectively.

Edit: Corrected '8 lost ROPs' > '8 lost TMUs'

 

I hope so, but actually Firepro m6100 is HD8950M

 

8950M? Didn't know if that existed, and even searches don't bring up anything. Maybe its a 7950m rebrand that was canceled, but then again stream processor numbers don't match up.

 

It either the leak aren't right or something else.

Chasing 7950m from notebookcheck lead to Chinese forum suggesting 1024 stream processor. Other numbers don't really match except 3dmark11 score.

 

Give me the FirePro version of 8970M, please... ...

 

Actually what I was saying was that 8950M might have been a 7950M rebrand that got cancelled, if it ever existed.
As for SP count, it is 1280, so a lower clocked 7970M according to Notebookcheck. I don't get where the Chinese got the 1024SP number from.

The most interesting thing though is the consumer variant of the M6100 might be great for crossfire with Kaveri if the leaks of a 13CU Kaveri are accurate and if also we will see something similar on the mobile side.

 

This is a partially disabled 7790 likey taking advantage of gcn 1.1 that the core provides.

 

That's exactly what I thought it is, and they disabled some cores to reduce TDP.

And btw is that a Cylon Raider?

 

That is a malediction from eve online.

 

Looks similar. Someone actually built a model of a Raider
