Highlights of the next-generation models include the following, according to AMD: Scheduled for release later this year, the AMD FirePro W2100, W4100, W5100, and W7100 will join the previously released, high-end W8100 and W9100 in the W-Series family. Those models will be joined by the AMD FirePro W2100, AMD FirePro W4100, AMD FirePro W5100, and AMD FirePro W7100, all supported by AMD Graphics Core Next architecture and all designed for CAD, engineering, video, and animation professionals. In June, the company launched the AMD FirePro W9100 and AMD FirePro W8100 graphics cards, which compose the high end of the W-Series line. The new generation of AMD FirePro W-Series models will support the entry-level desktop workstation user to the ultimate power user, offering larger memory configurations and increased compute performance (compared with previous models), as well as support for 4K multidisplay, next-generation application programming interfaces (APIs), and PCIe 3.0 application certifications and "rock-solid drivers," AMD reported.
