Core clock speed	930 MHz	730 MHz
Boost clock speed	no data	1024 MHz
Number of transistors	6,200 million	1,550 million
Manufacturing process technology	28 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	750 Watt	50 Watt
Texture fill rate	163.7	24.58
Floating-point performance	5,238 gflops	784.1 gflops

Form factor & compatibility

Information on FirePro W9100 and Radeon 535 Mobile compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
