![]() Let’s compare the 2 generations of Radeon Pro GPUs. We’ve had some compute scores of the Radeon Pro 555 and 560 on Geekbench. The bad news is that those GPUs are equipped on the new iMacs only. However, these only happen when you have the high-end GPUs in the series, such as the Radeon Pro 580 with 36 Compute Units (2304 stream processors) and 5.5 TFLOPS of performance. The 1999 2.0GHz MacBook Pro’s lack of discrete graphics took a toll on its Cinebench and 3D game performance, but it’s a much faster system than the high-end 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro. Radeon stated that the 500 series is capable of dealing with heavy workloads like VR experience, 3D modeling/rendering, or multi-stream 4k non-linear editing. Let’s compare the peak performance, compute units and memory bandwidth among the GPUs. We haven’t got full benchmarks yet but according to specs, the improvement in performance might be insignificant. Specifically, we have the Radeon Pro 555 GPU with 2GB video memory or the Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB memory, both are Polaris-based GPUs. Now, the MacBook Pro 2017 features the more powerful Radeon Pro 500 series. The MacBook Pro 2016 was powered by the Radeon Pro 400 series including the 450 / 455 / 460.
