#supercomputer GPU

Advanced Micro Devices has recently announced its new monster GPU dubbed as the AMD FirePro S9150 which is touted to go toe-to-toe with the NVidia Tesla K40 in the server GPU category. Equipped with a whopping 16GB of GDDR5 RAM and 320GB/s memory bandwidth, the FirePro S9150is expected to bring incredible graphics performance which is crucial for the supercomputers that it will cater to. The chip also includes an integrated Radeon GPU for basic display and troubleshooting. China finally put a consumer gaming GPU on store shelves, and buyers didn't hesitate. Lisuan is only the fourth GPU maker to earn Microsoft WHQL certification, joining Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, and is the first Chinese company to do so. That matters because every previous Chinese GPU attempt stumbled on software, not hardware. That kind of launch support is uncommon for a new GPU vendor. Lisuan says this is planned for second-generation GPUs. Read more in our articles including "AMD outs FirePro S9150 with 16GB GDDR5 RAM" and "AMD unveils Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 with dual 3D V-Cache".
