efikkanIt's not a matter of view, Vega 10 is going to be bigger than Vega 11 like with Polaris. Even the Polaris specs in that forum post is wrong.

A few days ago we got information that Vega is soon finishing development. So the final design is not even taped out yet, which means that QA samples are at least 3 months after tape out, and the finished product is 6-9 months away. Remember that GP104 was finished in development and taped out in ~June 2015.

btarunrAMD Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) chief Raja Koduri was in Shanghai last week to meet with one of the design teams of the "Polaris10" and the upcoming "Vega10." He tweeted that development of "Vega10" had just crossed a milestone, although it's a long way to go before you can see it. The 5th generation Graphics CoreNext architecture, and successor to the upcoming "Polaris" architecture, "Vega" promises a higher performance/Watt than "Polaris," which in turn boasts of a large energy efficiency leap over its predecessor.

One of the most notable derivatives of "Vega" is the "Vega10," poised to be a performance-segment GPU, which will make it to the market alongside "Vega11," a larger enthusiast-segment chip. The Vega10 is rumored to feature 4,096 stream processors spread across 64 compute units, and is expected to be a competitor to NVIDIA's GP104 silicon. The larger Vega11 could compete with larger chips based on the "Pascal" architecture, such as the GP102.

bugWhat a joke. So it doesn't do my laundry, after all.

NosadaPfff, nVidia promises and promises, but I can still see that quiche stain in my bedspread!

corsaroIsn't Vega 10 larger than Vega 11 like Polaris 10 vs Polaris 11 ? Why AMD change the name scheme with Vega?! I'm confused!

bugSo now, not only do we know nothing about Vega10, we also don't know anything about this supposed milestone it just past.
Not the most informative piece of news, I have to admit.

Caring1Sure, blame the quiche :laugh:

RejZoRI was already determined to skip this generation, but AMD got me all worked up with Vega. I mean, this will be the first proper HBM graphic card without the 4GB limit. And it'll feature GCN 5.0 shaders and god knows what other goodies not found on Polaris (RX480).

UngariIf stocks of 1080's are currently low, how long would it take for Titan/1080Ti to ramp up production after another paper launch?
Would Nvidia spoil future sales of 1080s by announcing Titan/1080Ti just to one-up-man-ship an early Vega release?
It's great to see this drama unfold as it can only mean better pricing for the consumer.

rtwjunkieI did see it!

I heard they showed Vega behind closed doors but suspect a combination of:

• yield ramp of the large dies
• HBM2 production ramp

RelayerIf you follow TPU's source link all the way to the end it's not AMD confirming anything. It's this forum post.


So there was a rumor of working silicon and someone extrapolated an early release date.

rtwjunkieI did follow when I posted. If you read the rest of the thread you'll know i merely reported seeing the article, not that I was a fervent believer or anything.:)

It truly is ok to say where one saw sonething without people automatically believing that you are a believer in the information.
