Radeon Pro

Radeon Pro Duo

The first card to be released under the Radeon Pro name was the dual GPU Radeon Pro Duo in April 2016. The card features two liquid cooled Fury X cores and was marketed strongly for both the running and creation of virtual reality content with the slogan ″For Gamers Who Create and Creators Who Game". The aesthetics and marketing of the Pro Duo follow that of the rest of the Fury products in the 300 series.

Radeon Pro SSG

Using AMD Radeon's GCN 1.2 architecture, the Radeon Pro SSG was unveiled in July 2016. SSG stands for Solid State Graphics, and the card will couple AMD's Fiji core with Solid-state storage to increase the frame buffer for rendering. This expansion of quick access storage will, therefore, relieve the issue of latency that occurs when a GPU has to retrieve information from a mass storage device via the CPU when a card's limited VRAM is maxed out in heavy workloads. Users will be able to add up to 1TB of PCIe M.2 NAND flash memory to improve render and scrubbing times. AMD demonstrated a 5.3 fold increase in performance on 8K video scrubbing. This SSD storage space can be made available to the operating system or controlled entirely by the GPU. The card is current available as a beta program, with general availability expected in 2017.

Radeon Pro WX Series

The first Radeon Pro cards with the WX prefix to be announced were the WX 7100, the WX 5100 and the WX 4100 in July 2016. These Polaris based cards are once again aimed at the traditional professional market and are set to replace the FirePro Wx100 series and FirePro Wx300 series. These cards, along with the Pro SSG, will use the new, non-toxic and energy efficient YInMn Blue, discovered by Mas Subramanian. This unique aesthetic for the Radeon Pro line will distinguish the professional products from the consumer Radeon series.

The smallest card, the half-height WX 4100, is marketed for use in small form factor workstations. Designed for real-time content engines and CAD and CAM manufacturing, the WX 5100 fits in between the WX 4100 and the WX 7100 in terms of performance, with the latter once again marketed with emphasis on the application of VR and other media creation, while claiming to be "The Most Affordable Workstation Solution".

Radeon Pro (Mobile)

Mobile Radeon Pro parts were first revealed with the release of the 2016 update to the Apple 15" MacBook Pro. These appear to be Polaris 11 derived parts with 10-16 4th generation GCN compute units, providing between 1 and 1.86 TFLOPS of performance.

Project Loom

At an AMD event in 2016 Project Loom was announced as a collaboration between AMD and Radiant Images. The real-time GPU accelerated photo and video stitching program will complement AMD's virtual reality development platform. While traditional photo stitching is not that much of a complex task, Project Loom aims to improve render times when tasked with the heavy workload of stitching together multiple high resolution angles to form a 360 degree VR experience, either to headsets or mobile devices. Using AMD's Direct GMA protocol, the software allows Radeon Pro graphics cards to work directly with video capture hardware to stitch together a 30 fps, 360 degree 4k resolution video from 24, 1080p cameras at 60 fps.

The software is to be competitive with Nvidia's VRWorks 360 Video SDK, and is reportedly set to be made open-source through GPUOpen.

ProRender

The successor to FireRender, Radeon ProRender works with high-end graphics programs as an OpenCL photorealistic offline 3D renderer and raytracing engine. ProRender aims to compete with programs such as NVIDIA's iRay and other expensive, proprietary solutions. However, AMD is making ProRender free, open source and available for all graphics hardware.
