AMD FirePro S10000: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

AMD started FirePro S10000 sales 12 November 2012 at a recommended price of $3,599 . This is a GCN 1.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 6 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 480 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 305 mm. Two 8-pin power connectors are required, and power consumption is at 750 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 12.25% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
