  • AMD's $799 Radeon Pro W5700 offers a potential GPU alternative for the Mac Pro

    w
    Usually the Radeon Pro have ECC RAM justifying the higher price compared to the identical chip in the consumer cards, odd this one doesn't.
    No, they don't use ECC RAM, but they do typically use HBM2. GDDR6 is still way behind HBM2, but it is fast enough that it doesn't add significant additional latency - meaning, substantially faster than the GDDR5 it replaces in consumer cards. That said, AMD did say a while back that they were moving away from HBM2 across the board - likely due to pricing and packaging complexity.
