EXTERNAL GRAPHICS SOLUTIONS

Professional graphics for the mobile workforce made easy
Many design professionals are faced with the di�cultcompromise between portability and productivity, as it is notpossible to have an ultra-high performance GPU in a thin and lightmobile form factor. Until now, high-performance professionalgraphics workstations have been exclusive to desktop plaforms.

The segmentation between desktops and laptops has always
revolved around raw computing performance and, in e�ect,productivity.

This poses a major challenge to today’s professional work�ows as more and more applications are designed to leverage thecomputing power of GPUs, thus further widening the productivity gap between desktops and laptops. Users who require theportability of a lightweight laptop and the raw horsepower of a deskside workstation can now bene�t from a third option:
externally-connected graphics.

Radeon™ Pro via Thunderbolt™enhances productivity for professionals on the GO
External graphics are an easy-to-use solution for injecting
massive graphics performance into ultraportable notebooks
and desktop computers. By leveraging the industry standard
Thunderbolt™ 3 interface that is available on many modernnotebooks, an external GPU (eGPU) solution allows for thedigital artists to attach a powerful professional-grade desktop
graphics card for an immediate boost in productivity andcapabilities.

AMD is proud to announce that it has partnered with Sonnet
Technologies to o�er the exclusive professional-grade eGPU
solution for Apple’s MacBook Pro, iMac, and iMac Pro platforms.
Through extensive engineering collaboration, AMD’s Radeon™ Pro
graphics o�erings pair with macOS seamlessly, via the Sonnet
eGFX Breakaway™ Box, with no need for manual driver installations
or additional tweaking. It is a true plug-and-play professionalgraphics solution for millions of macOS users.

Boost performance in design applications by up to 4x with eGPU
eGPU greatly enhances designer productivity in popular 3D applications such as Autodesk Maya and Maxon Cinema 4D by boosting
both viewport and GPU rendering performance by up to 4x using Radeon™ ProRender. The ability to attach a powerful,professional-grade GPU such as the Radeon Pro WX 9100 enables desktop workstation-class performance on MacBook Pro, andfurther extends the GPU processing power of iMac Pro.

“The speed improvements when using this methodology forCinema 4D are dramatic. For a Radeon ProRender scene that I had
created, the Radeon Pro WX 9100 took 10 minutes and 8 seconds
to render the scene compared to over 42 minutes for the internal
Radeon Pro 560X, and quicker render times means quicker
iteration which makes better images.”
