AMD to show [7nm] Vega 20 at Computex

..at least for now, 7nm Vega is focused on the Instinct brand for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. This 7nm GPU will not be used for gaming as it would simply be too expensive.

Vega 20 for instinct will have 32GB HBM2 memory, which is definitely something Nvidia is targeting with its V100 based 32GB card.There is a slight chance that AMD might make Vega 20 into a Radeon Pro part, as it can get more money than the BOM (Bill of Material). Bear in mind that a 7nm big GPU won't have great yields. No one has made 7nm GPUs so far and obviously yields at the beginning are slim.

To our knowledge, Nvidia will stay with 12nm TSMC for its Turing cards as 7nm is too risky for massive scale gaming GPU production.

expect AMD to show its Vega 20, 7nm 32GB card at its press conference at Computex, coming Wednesday, ..


Commercial 7nm coming out first was always the plan. I'm heartened because the first 7nm parts are apparently "on schedule". Thus, as of now, gamers can still expect 7nm parts next year. The rumor is that those 2019 7nm gaming cards will be inexpensive per FPS (assuming mining is not an issue).
