ATI FirePro V8750 3D Workstation Graphics Card Review

AMD has just released its latest high-end professional 3D graphics card, the ATI FirePro V8750.
ATI FirePro™ V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator brings the highest number of shader engines (800) with the highest memory bandwidth (115.2 GB/s) in the entire 3D professional graphics offerings today1 which enables professionals to render incredibly complex models and photo-realistic images in real-time.



The ultra parallel processing architecture of the ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator maximizes throughput by automatically directing graphics horsepower where it’s needed. Intelligent management of computational resources enables enhanced utilization of the GPU to enable real-time rendering of complex models and scenes with high frame rates when animating. This acceleration is accessed through ATI Stream technology, a set of advanced hardware and software technologies that enable a system to dynamically balance workloads by tapping a both the CPU and a GPU in a workstation to enable accelerated application performance.

With ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator, applications that take advantage of the shader units and memory bandwidth perform significantly better than with competing solutions. For example, UG NX4 software from Siemens PLM performs up to 56 percent faster and Autodesk 3ds Max OGL runs 118 percent faster on ATI FirePro V8750 than the comparable competing solution.2



Featuring 2GB of GDDR5 frame buffer memory, engineers and designers are free to focus on project work without concerns for memory limitations that have traditionally impacted professional applications.

ATI FirePro V8750 3D workstation graphics accelerator offers thirty percent more bandwidth than the comparable competing solution1, and it’s equipped with the latest memory technology, GDDR5, for superior bandwidth and power consumption.

Two DisplayPort outputs, one Dual Link enabled DVI output and one Stereo sync output provide versatility and advanced features needed for advanced monitors and a high resolution support. In addition, with native multi-card support, users can see more and do more using four displays by adding a second ATI FirePro 3D graphics accelerator in the same workstation.

ATI FirePro 3D workstation graphics accelerators have more than 90 certifications from independent software vendors and have undergone extensive testing to provide industry standard reliability.



Concurrent with this product launch, AMD is also announcing the availability of ATI CrossFire™ Pro technology which enables users to combine the power of two discrete graphics cards to scale their application performance for maximum productivity. This capability which simply involves coupling the two graphics cards using an interconnect cable, is designed to provide a significant performance boost to CAD and DCC applications such as UG NX, Ensight, Maya and Teamcenter. In addition to ATI FirePro V8750, ATI CrossFire™ Pro is planned for availability on the mid-range and above graphics cards including ATI FirePro™ V5700, ATI FirePro™ V7750, and ATI FirePro™ V87003D workstation graphics accelerators. Initial support is provided for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) with support for other operating systems scheduled to follow in the second half of 2009.

Price
The new ATI FirePro V87503D workstation graphics accelerator is available now at the MSRP of $1,799.

AMD has introduced it two new AMD Athlon II X2 models : the AMD Athlon II X2 240 and the AMD Athlon II X2 245.The AMD Athlon II X2 240 is clocked at 2.80 GHz and the AMD thlon II X2 245 is clocked at 2.90 GHz. The AMD thlon II X2 240 has a bus multiplier of 14.0x 200 MHz, while AMD thlon II X2 245 is a little higher at 14.5x 200 MHz.Both the processors are based on the AMD’s 45nm Regor core, which is a monolithic dual-core, with two physical cores on a die, and no L3 cache.


In both the chips the L2 cache per core is 1 MB, which makes it 2 MB of total external cache. It uses a 4.0 GT/s HyperTransport 3.0 system interface, and comes in the AM3 socket package that supports DDR2 and DDR3 memory standards.




Benefits
AMD Athlon II dual-core processors provide consumers the capability to efficiently multitask and easily create, render, transfer and share their multimedia content. When combined with ATI Radeon HD graphics technology and AMD chipsets, systems based on the AMD Athlon II X2 245 and 240 processors deliver a vivid visual experience, smooth multitasking and exceptional digital media performance with efficiency.

Price
The two will be out soon and will be priced around the Rs.3250 (US$65) .

Today we presents the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition processor. AMD has made a successful transition to the 45nm fabrication process, giving the Phenom II series the necessary breathing room to prove it has what it takes to go head to head with the Intel Core 2 range.



The Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is based on the exact same 45-nm Deneb core AMD uses in their latest Phenom II processors. The only difference is AMD activates two processing cores, leaving two cores disabled. Because it’s based on the same core as AMD’s other Phenom II parts, the same key architecture features carry over unchanged. The chip features 64KB of L1 cache per core for data and instructions (256KB L1 total) and 512KB of L2 cache per core for a grand total of 1MB of L2 cache active on the processor. The L3 cache carries over unchanged, with the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition sporting 6MB of L3 cache shared amongst the processors two cores. Like all AM3 Phenom II CPUs, the chip also features a 2.0GHz memory controller.

Finally, the most important remaining spec for the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition is its clock speed. AMD clocks the chip at 3.1GHz, which the chip featuring a 15.5x multiplier. Keep in mind that as a Black Edition CPU, the multiplier is unlocked and can be adjusted to whatever setting you wish when OC’ing AMD lists the max TDP for the Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition at 80W.
