Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon Pro SSG specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon Pro SSG scores 10,972 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Mid-Range tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 3.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: Fiji), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 4096 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 256 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 64 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 8.602 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1050 MHz from a base of 1000 MHz.
