AMD officially announces Radeon Pro 400 graphics

Polaris GPU made for Apple

Following the announcement of Apple's new MacBook Pro 2016 notebooks, AMD has now officially unveiled its new AMD Pro 400 series graphics cards.

Available first in the all-new 15-inch MacBook Pro 2016 models, the new AMD Radeon Pro 400 series graphics is designed for artists, designers, photographers, filmmakers, visualizers and engineers, according to AMD.

Based on AMD's Polaris architecture and made on 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, the new AMD Radeon Pro 400 series will operate under 35W power envelope, which was probably the key part of squeezing them in new Apple MacBook Pro notebooks.

While AMD did not reveal any details regarding these new Radeon Pro 400 series chips, we do know that there are at least three SKUs, Radeon Pro 450, Radeon Pro 455 and Radeon Pro 460, all available with new Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro 2016 notebook.

"We couldn't be more proud to have Radeon Pro 400 Series Graphics launching in the new 15-inch MacBook Pro, a notebook designed for performance and creativity," said Raja Koduri, senior vice president and chief architect, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. "Today there are millions of professional creators and designers, and a billion more who aspire to reach the next level. Radeon Pro 400 Series Graphics are a powerful and versatile creative technology that gives makers entirely new ways to create the art of the impossible no matter where they are."

Hopefully, we will get more information about the new Radeon Pro 400 series as soon as the new 15-inch MacBook Pro 2016 notebooks start shipping.
