AMD launches FirePro W9100 32GB workstation graphics card

Previously the FirePro W9100 was limited to 16GB of GDDR5.

I am shocked..... AMD re-releases a top spec workstation GPU with double the ram just after Nvidia does. Nah who am I kidding, I was expecting this the moment I read about the quadro update lol

Grrrr! Compute Performance: 2,816 stream processors- the professional range cards don't bring much profit but at-least AMD should have removed the 4gb HD memory from the Fury x and some 32GB of EEC GDDR5 memory on the board, NOW that could be awesome.

Impossible - the memory architecture is completely different. You can't just swap stacked HBM on an interposer for a direct connection to GDDR5. And to get anything near the bandwidth they wanted you'd have to add more channels to the memorty controller, which means more motherboard traces, more phsyical memory chips ... potentially you'd actually go beyond what's phsyically possible on a sensibly-sized PCIe card. AMD need to make what's both possible and practical. If you need a card with a huge memory buffer for working with large datasets, this is the one for you.
Once cards with HBM2 go into mass production we'll start seeing 32GB frame-buffers with HBM2 for the professional market. You just need to patiently wait for the technology to catch up with your desires ;)

That's still comfortably the highest DP FLOPs we've ever seen isn't it?

Pretty sure the Tesla P100 beats it
21.2 TeraFLOPS half-precision performance
10.6 TeraFLOPS single-precision performance
5.3 TeraFLOPS double-precision performance
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.

Where can I buy one? Or are you talking about next year's products, in which case Vega might have an answer as well. At the moment, this 2014-based card still has the title by some way.

Your not wrong, their GDX-1 systems are shipping to customers in June and they feature eight of those badboys.

No "but can it run minecraft/crysis/crappy ubi coded game" comment?

But where/when can I buy one (only) of these P100 cards?

In a workstation card using a single GPU i think so.
Re: AMD launches FirePro W9100 32GB workstation graphics card
The only thing good about w9100 is the 'less expensive price' compared to M6000. Question: I have been rendering certain 3DS Max projects which can take an i3 using its 4400 graphics a whole week (Constantly), the good Firepros have EEC memory and other features but they are expensive, can a gaming graphic card like the R9-390 with its whooping 8GB GDDR offer help?
Re: AMD launches FirePro W9100 32GB workstation graphics card
I think a GDDR5 fury might be possible - HBM moves the memory controller off the card, right? So you use a different interposer to connect the compute die to a massive GDDR5 controller next to it, rather than connecting the compute die to stacks of HBM with integrated controllers. Not practical or economical (especially with HBM2 round the corner), or even sensible, but possible

The W9100 absolutely trounces the M6000.

Yes and no, if the render engine (vray rt/iray) you're using supports gpu rendering then yes it can speed up some renders. I say some renders because not all gpu render engines support all material types.

Not sure what your point is, universities and various other reseach institions are snapping them all up and nvidia are going make loads of money in the process. :)
Just because you can't buy one yet doesn't mean they don't exist, sorry.
