AMD Radeon E8950: specs and benchmarks

Summary

AMD started Radeon E8950 sales 29 September 2015. This is GCN 3.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 192.0 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is MXM Module card attached via MXM-B (3.0) interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 95 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 15.19 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000.
