AMD Sets Sights On Digital Wall Market

“AMD Announces FirePro W600, Sets Their Sights On Digital Wall Market” writes Ryan Smith over on AnandTech [1].

Ryan Smith writes “in an unusual move despite the FirePro name it’s not a professional card in the traditional sense. Rather it’s a professional card in the not-for-consumers sense. GCN*’s first professional task as it turns out is going to be a brand-new FirePro subcategory: digital signage and display walls”.

He continues “In several respects digital signage and display walls are obvious markets for AMD” – and he’d surely be right.

The card can drive 6 mini DisplayPort outputs, and is capable of really big resolutions. For those technically minded, the whole article here [1] is well worth a read.
