The FirePro M8900 was a professional mobile graphics chip by AMD, launched on April 12th, 2011. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the Blackcomb graphics processor, in its Blackcomb XT GL variant, the chip supports DirectX 11.2. The Blackcomb graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 212 mm² and 1,700 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon HD 6990M, which uses the same GPU but has all 1120 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the FirePro M8900 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 960 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the FirePro M8900, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 680 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz (3.6 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the AMD FirePro M8900 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 75 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
