AMD FirePro S7000: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

AMD started FirePro S7000 sales 27 August 2012 at a recommended price of $1,249 . This is a GCN 1.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 4 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 4.8 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 292 mm. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 350 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 11.67% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
