AMD Teases Vega Architecture: More Than 200+ New Features, Ready First Half Of 2017
..Let’s cut right to it: Products based on AMD’s high-end Vega GPU architecture aren’t ready yet, but they’re expected sometime between now and the end of June...
So, maybe Vega comes out as late as June 2017 (contrary to earlier rumors that put it at the end of this month or next month). Still glad I got my RX480 "fix" last June 2016 (my wife gets it when my Vega comes).
Meantime, the article at Tom's covers the newness of the Vega architecture. It comes across as highest end and more than just graphics (GPUs are now used for high-end computation as well as graphics). It covers all the bases of modern GPU uses and covers them exceptionally -- in an AMD presentation.
I assume there are other articles and "guesses" out there. But, the bottom line is: We have to wait longer for the empirical facts based on independent tests.
