Today AMD has formally introduced one of many lengthy rumoured lacking Navi components within the type of the brand new Radeon Pro 5600M cell GPU, seeing the Navi 12 design lastly take form as a product.
The new high-end cell GPU is a successor to the Radeon Pro Vega 20 and Vega 16 designs launched again in 2018, merchandise that ended up being utilized in Apple’s MacBook laptops. The new Radeon Pro 5600M additionally sees its debut within the new 16” MacBook Pro that’s additionally been debuted right this moment. Apple has historically had unique rights to those cell Radeon Pro SKUs so it’s probably this exclusivity additionally applies to the brand new Radeon Pro 5600M.

The new cell GPU is characterised by its giant compute unit rely in addition to its utilization of HBM2 reminiscence. With a CU rely of 40, leading to 2540 stream processors, the Radeon Pro 5600M truly matches AMD’s present finest desktop graphics designs such because the Navi 10-based Radeon 5700XT. A key distinction right here lies within the clocks as this cell variant solely clocks as much as a most of 1035MHz, leading to a theoretical most throughput of 5.3TFLOPs, fairly a bit lower than its desktop counterpart which lands in at 9.75TFLOPs.
In phrases of bandwidth nevertheless, the cell chip greater than retains up with its desktop counterpart. AMD is utilizing a 2048-bit HBM2 reminiscence interface to as much as 8GB of reminiscence working at 1.54Gbps, leading to a bandwidth of 394GB/s, solely a bit lower than the 448GB/s of the Radeon 5700XT.
The Radeon Pro 5600M is marketed with a complete graphics energy (TGP) of 50W, similar to the TGP of the Radeon Pro 5500M and the Radeon Pro 5300M, each based mostly on the Navi 14 die which incorporates a lot much less compute models. This makes the 5600M an extremely performant and environment friendly design.
The new Radeon Pro 5600 is now accessible inside Apple’s MacBook Pro 16” as an choice, and comes at a $700 mark-up versus the default Radeon Pro 5500M GPU.
