The FirePro M5100 features different energy saving techniques to reduce power consumption and prolong battery life. Recent Games of 2014/2015 can thus be played fluently in medium to high details and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Just like the Radeon series, the FirePro M5100 offers features like Eyefinity, Enduro or PCIe 3.0. Presumably, AMD uses the Cape Verde graphics chip, but this has not yet been officially confirmed.Īccording to the clock rates of up to 775 MHz for the chip and 1125 MHz for the memory (4500 MHz effective, 72 GB/s), the 3D gaming performance will be slightly above the Nvidia Quadro K2100M or GeForce GT 750M with GDDR5 memory. The memory of up to 2 GB GDDR5 is connected via an 128-bit interface. Overall, the chip has 640 stream processors, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The FirePro M5100 integrates 10 Compute Units based on the GCN architecture. Due to optimizations and some unlocked features, the performance in these applications is much better compared to a consumer Radeon GPU. Except for the certified drivers, the M5100 is more or less identical to the Radeon HD 8870M. Similar to the Nvidia Quadro series, the FirePro cards offer certified drivers for professional 3D-software like CAD. The AMD FirePro M5100 is a middle-class graphics card for mobile workstations, which has been presented in mid-2013.
