About the AMD FirePro M5100 GPU

The AMD FirePro M5100 is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2013. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Venus) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The FirePro M5100 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,125 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 72 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The FirePro M5100 includes 640 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 725 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 775 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 40 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Benchmark Performance

The FirePro M5100 has the 304th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 2.84% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R9 M395 (Mac Edition) GPU

The AMD Radeon R9 M395 (Mac Edition) is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q2 2015. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Amethyst) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R9 M395 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,365 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 174.7 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R9 M395 includes 1,792 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 834 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The R9 M395 has the 192nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.28% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
