..it’s coming this quarter [May 30 to June 1 most rumored]..

Vega Architecture Key Features

– High Bandwidth Cache
– 2x Bandwidth per pin

– 512TB Virtual Address Space
– Next Generation Compute Engine
– Next Generation Pixel Engine
– Next Generation Compute Unit optimized for higher clock speeds
– Rapid Packed Math
– Draw Stream Binning Rasterizer
– Primitive Shaders

..Just a couple of months back we found out that 80% of AMD’s driver team was actively optimizing for Vega. Earlier today we learned that AMD has already delivered full OpenGL support for Vega in Linux...


Really not new news in that a launch in about 6 weeks has been rumored for some time now. Just that they have a more definite rumor smile

Nice to see they've been working on getting the drivers right.

Vega is more than a GPU. Its a "compute unit" also. I expect it to be competitive with Nvidia's best or second best FPS wise. But, a little more advanced in totality of features (some of which don't matter to gamers). Now, what will it cost wink
