AMD VEGA 10 confirmed?

Raja Koduri is supposedly meeting a GPU design team in Shanghai, where they celebrated ‘a milestone’ in Vega 10 GPU development. .. (quote: ‘long way to go before you see it’). .. VEGA 10 will be equipped with HBM2 memory, a technology that is still very rare in GPU industry (only available with Pascal GP100).

Earlier leaks indicated that AMD is working on a new chip with 4096 Stream Processors. It is without a doubt a new competitor to Pascal GP104 and probably even upcoming GP102.


If Clocks stay the same,
That's theoretically 10.3+ TFLOPs


I thoroughly enjoyed reading the AMD Bashing in the comments of some of the recent articles.

Claiming AMD is ignoring the PC Master Race, and catering the the console players.

And I'm sittin' there like:
"Umm, So you're saying a company positioning their products in the 86% of the Discrete Market is a bad idea?"

nVidia's GPUs are Positioned in the 9% Discrete market that Spends $500+, Their GPU Yields are Still in the Toilet, so Availability is still in the toilet


End Run Scenario?

Polaris 10 is 232mm Sq.
Pascal 104 is 350mm Sq.

Polaris-10 is Getting fantastic yields per run, Pascal-104 is not, Polaris Costs Significantly less to produce due to size and yields.

So While people struggle to get their hands on the GP-104in the 9% $500+ Performance Market,

People are going to be buying the Polaris-10's in mass on launch day.

so if the RX-480 outsells the GTX1080 10:1, AMD is not only bringing in more revenue due to Price and Availability,

they are also taking Discrete GPU Marketshare from nVidia, that used to be the GTX980/970/960 and 950ti.

as far as AMD is concerned, they can have that 9%, they'll take the 86%
