I’ve tossed the specs into the table below:ĭespite the FirePro brand, these GPUs have at least some features in common with their desktop Radeon counterparts. The D300 is Pitcairn based, D500 appears to use a Tahiti LE with a wider 384-bit memory bus while D700 is a full blown Tahiti XT. FirePro D300, D500 and D700 are the only three options available on the new Mac Pro. These are 28nm Graphics Core Next 1.0 based GPUs, so not the absolute latest tech from AMD but the latest of what you’d find carrying a FirePro name. The new Mac Pro comes outfitted with a pair of identical Pitcairn, Tahiti LE or Tahiti XT derived FirePro branded GPUs. The new Mac Pro is no exception as it is the first Mac in Apple history to ship with two GPUs by default.ĪMD won the contract this time around. This is true regardless of whether we’re talking about phones, tablets, notebooks or, more recently, desktops. The modern Apple is a big fan of GPU power.
