ATI WinCharger: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started WinCharger sales 1 November 1995 at a recommended price of $229. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Mach architecture and made with 600 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 2 MB of EDO memory clocked at 0.04 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 320.0 MB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCI interface.

Form factor & compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of WinCharger and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCI
Width	1-slot

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of memory installed on WinCharger: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	EDO
Maximum RAM amount	2 MB	of 294912 (Radeon Instinct MI325X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 8192 Bit (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	40 MHz	of 20000 (RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile)
Memory bandwidth	320.0 MB/s	of 5,171 GB/s (Radeon Instinct MI300X)

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on WinCharger. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

1x VGA

API compatibility

APIs supported by WinCharger, sometimes including their particular versions.
