AMD’s new Radeon Pro Duo graphics packs two of the company’s fastest GPUs, but surprisingly, is slower than its 2016 predecessor.
The Pro Duo, announced on Monday, is based on the Polaris architecture. It provides 11.45 teraflops of single-precision performance, which is a downgrade from the 16 teraflops of performance offered by last year’s Pro Duo, based on the Fiji architecture.
Performance usually goes up with each new GPU generation, but AMD opted to lower the power draw and the number of processing cores in the Pro Duo; as result, the product generates less heat. The Pro Duo draws 250 watts of power, compared to 350 watts by its predecessor.
