AMD to focus more on its FirePro lineup

A leaked presentation from AMD reveals the company is going to increase its effort in the workstation graphics market. The company will reportedly not only step up its game in hardware but also in software and marketing.

What is interesting about the leaked Computex presentation is that AMD plans to step up its game in software and marketing, not just hardware. It is going to boost FirePro spending, Sapphire is on board and more cash will be on hand to move the products, reports WCCFtech.

In addition to FirePro products, AMD is also moving into the data centre with MXM modules specifically designed for Blade servers. The first product is the S4000X, which AMD markets as “FirePro graphics in the data centre.” It can hit 992GLOPS (single precision) while consuming 45W of power.
