With their latest FirePro professional graphics card, AMD has a new flagship in their portfolio when it comes to professional grafphics cards. The FirePro W9100 is based on the Hawaii GPU architecture and comes with no less than 16 Gigabyte of GDDR5 memory.

Performance figures of this monster are rather impressive. According to AMD this single GPU card is capable of pumping out 5.24 Tera Flops of Single-Precision and 2.67 Tera Flops of Double-Precision performance. A closer look at the underlying chip shows there are 2816 Stream processors, 176 TMUs and 64 ROPs. Regarding clock speeds no details have been revealed yet, but if we had to guess we would say they're above 1000 MHz.

With the FirePro W9100 AMD wants to standardize 4K resolution for servers as well as the professional market. For that purpose, they've added 16 Gigabyte of GDDR5 memory to the board. Other than that there are six display outputs.

When it comes to pricing the new AMD FirePro W9100 is going to cost 4000 US-Dollar a piece, which is the same that had to be paid for the previous FirePro W9000.
