AMD unleashes the dual GPU powered Radeon Pro Duo


AMD has officially taken the title of the world's fastest graphics card with it's new Radeon Pro Duo which is up to 51% faster when compared to Nvidia's GTX Titan Z. Just like the Titan Z, the new AMD Radeon Pro Duo is a dual GPU card and comes packed with two 28nm Fiji GPUs similar to the ones found in the R9 Fury X and R9 Nano. 

AMD Radeon Pro Duo Key Specifications

  • 8192 Stream processors (4196 ea)
  • 512 Texture units
  • 128 ROPs
  • 1.0GHz core clock
  • 8192-bit wide memory
  • 8GB HBM VRAM
  • 350W TDP
  • Display Port 1.2a
  • HDMI 1.4a


In terms of design, AMD is keeping the Radeon Pro Duo's design simple with an integrated water cooling setup courtesy of Cooler Master. But the biggest difference compared to existing Fiji based cards is that AMD is pricing this higher than two single R9 Fury X. The Radeon Pro Duo is priced at $1,499 which is about 3 times the price of a single GPU solution. But that's the point AMD is trying to get here, the dual GPU Radeon Pro Duo is not meant to be for every consumer, AMD is solely targeting this dual GPU card for the people who want to get the utmost VR experience. 

AMD says the new Radeon Pro Duo will arrive in stores starting Q2 2016.

AMD announces new APUs alongside a new silent CPU cooler


AMD has seemingly stayed away from making CPUs for the last few years as intel is getting all the limelight over and over but that doesn't stop the company from making new developments. Alongside the release of their new AMD 125 Wraith CPU cooler that is designed to make old CPU coolers look bad, the company is also taking wraps off 4 new desktop CPUs on the FM2+ socket. Only select 95W+ AMD CPUs will come with the new Wraith cooler

The highest end AMD A10-7890K APU will be the most powerful chip AMD has produced but it will only be available in a couple of weeks time opposed to the other 3 CPUs which are available imminently. The A10-7890K will be AMD's next generation flagship APU and the chip has a boost clock speed of 4.3GHz, 4 cores, a 95W TDP and also Radeon R7 graphics that packs 512 Steam cores and clocked at 900MHz (Sea Island GCN). No official pricing is revealed yet.


Down the line, AMD is also updating their mainstream offerings with the A10-7860K and A6-7470K which are updated APUs with Steamroller cores and Radeon graphics. Additionally, AMD is also unveiling their very first CPU with their Excavator architecture but unlike the other processors unveiled today, the new Athlon X4 845 ($69.99) is not an APU.

AMD R9 380X announced, designed to outperform the competition in 1440P gaming


It is not always that we have a new tech product at this time of the year when the holiday shopping is just about to begin but AMD is releasing a brand new gaming graphics card that is designed to be the best of both worlds. The new Radeon R9 380X fills the price gap in between GTX 960 which is priced at $190 and the GTX 970 at $320. 

At it's core, the R9 380X comes with a fully decked out Tonga core with 2,048 stream processor and a boost clock of 970MHz on the reference model. Besides that, there is also 4GB of GDDR5 memory, a 256-bit wide memory bus, a 190w TDP that takes power from dual 8-pin connectors and DirectX 12 support. 


But specs aside, AMD is marketing the R9-380X as a graphics card that is designed to run games at 1440P. Not a conventional marketing tagline but this new graphics card performs marginally better compared to cards from competitors (and by competitors, I mean Nvidia) in the same price range.

With it's $229 (~MYR 988) price tag, AMD might have just got themselves a pretty compelling graphics card here. It might not be as powerful as the Tahiti cards but not everyone out there has a 4k monitor and 1440p is pretty common in gaming setups. Not to mention that AMD is releasing this card during the week before the holiday shopping starts (black friday).
