About AMD FirePro W4190M
The AMD FirePro W4190M is an end-of-life mobile workstation GPU built on GCN 1.0. It uses the Opal chip, fabricated by TSMC on a 28 nm process, and packs 950 million transistors into a 77 mm² die, for a transistor density of 12.3M / mm². The part belongs to the FirePro Mobile (Wx100M) generation, with FirePro Mobility as its predecessor and Radeon Pro Mobile as its successor. The release date is 2015-11-11. The only recorded benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, yields a score of 4413, placing the FirePro at the 24th percentile of all GPUs.
How It Compares
Against the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, the W4190M posts 4413 in Geekbench OpenCL, while the GTX 1050 averages 4449. That is a delta of -0.8%, so the FirePro trails by less than a percentage point. The two parts are effectively in the same performance band.
The AMD Radeon R7 Graphics is even closer. Its average score is 4453, and the W4190M is -0.9% relative to it. This places the FirePro and the Radeon R7 part in the same performance band, with the FirePro holding a negligible deficit.
The AMD FirePro W2100 averages 4295, putting the W4190M 2.7% ahead. The margin is measurable but not large; both parts sit in the same entry-level professional tier.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M averages 4275. The W4190M leads by 3.2%, the largest delta in the nearest-rival set. Even so, the entire group spans only from 4275 to 4453, so the W4190M is neither dominant nor far behind any of its closest neighbors.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The database record lists no RT core count and no tensor core count for the W4190M; both fields are null. As a result, the hardware feature set is defined by the GCN 1.0 architecture and by the API support that the drivers expose. The supported APIs are DirectX 12 (11_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. Those APIs provide access to modern rendering pipelines, but dedicated ray tracing hardware cannot be confirmed from the data.
The compute and graphics core consists of 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 7.200 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 21.60 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is listed at 691.2 GFLOPS. The interface is PCIe 3.0 x8, and display outputs are portable device dependent. The manufacturing data completes the picture: TSMC 28 nm process, 950 million transistors, 77 mm² die size, and 12.3M / mm² transistor density.
Benchmark Performance
The only benchmark present is Geekbench OpenCL, with a score of 4413. Because this is the only result in the benchmark list, the average benchmark score is the same 4413. The percentile position is 24, meaning the vast majority of GPUs in the database outperform it in OpenCL. That context matters when reading the nearest rival deltas.
The W4190M is 0.8% behind the GeForce GTX 1050, and 0.9% behind the Radeon R7 Graphics. It is 2.7% ahead of the FirePro W2100 and 3.2% ahead of the GeForce GTX 460M. Those deltas are small in absolute terms, and they place the W4190M in a tightly clustered region of the score distribution.
The underlying throughput rates are consistent with that placement: 691.2 GFLOPS FP32, 7.200 GPixel/s, and 21.60 GTexel/s. The base clock is 825 MHz and the boost clock is 900 MHz, while the memory clock is 1000 MHz. A negative delta in this table means the rival is faster; a positive delta means the W4190M is faster. Since the benchmark list contains only this workload, the score should be read as an OpenCL compute indicator rather than a complete performance profile.

Memory Subsystem
The W4190M ships with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, a 128-bit interface, and 64.00 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is 1000 MHz, described as 4 Gbps effective. In the context of the nearest rivals, this bandwidth figure is moderate, and it will influence how much data can be moved per frame.
High-resolution rendering places simultaneous demand on framebuffer capacity, texture storage, and bandwidth. With 2 GB, large texture sets and high-resolution depth buffers can exceed available memory quickly. At the same time, 64.00 GB/s is low enough that even within a 2 GB footprint, sustained frame-buffer traffic could be the limiting factor. The memory subsystem is therefore best suited to modest resolutions and workstation workloads with controlled memory footprints. The 128-bit bus width restricts peak transfer rate independently of the memory clock, so the effective data rate of 4 Gbps cannot compensate for the narrow path.
Power and Cooling
The record does not list a TDP for the W4190M, and the suggested PSU field is also empty. The form factor is an MXM Module, and the power connectors field is None. That means no external power connectors are part of the module's specification. In a portable chassis, the host system must supply power and cooling; the database does not provide a thermal envelope beyond the absence of a TDP field.
The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x8, which is the physical connection through which the module communicates. Since display outputs are portable device dependent, the surrounding system also determines the actual output configuration. With no PSU recommendation, the power design is left to the portable-device vendor rather than to the end user.
