In a short “teaser”, AMD promises to present “something big soon” and means the next generation of professional graphics cards from the Radeon Pro series based on RDNA-2. The graphics processor Navi 21, which is known from consumer graphics cards, is also being launched for the first time in the professional segment.
W6800 and W6600 will be launched on August 8th. June expected
With a playing time of only 13 seconds, little can be seen from the teaser, but the color scheme and initiation clearly identify the graphics card as a Radeon Pro.
Later in the year, AMD would also like to introduce the professional accelerator Radeon Instinct MI100 (“Arcturus”) and CDNA2 as a new architecture for the professional segment.
They were mentioned for the first time new Radeon Pro in March on the Chiphell website, which claims to have been leaked of images of a still “naked” prototype.
