Now that would be interesting especially if its a full fledged 64 chip.

Now that is kinda cool. Hopefully a full coverage water block comes out for it.

Yes please!

So, back in SIGGRAPH 2017, that would have been a 'wood screw' model, a la Nvidia? Just saying, need to roll with 'em punches. It was only last week or so someone commented on Nvidia's 'fake card' from years back, seems reasonable to restore balance in the force by pointing out AMD do the same - displaying mock-ups of 'yet to be made' products.

Yes it would be, however that pcie power shows a 6 and 8, so most likely a Vega56.

I question that statement, seeing the size of this fan and block :)

R9 nano had full fury x core and had 1 8 pin instead of 2 like fury x

PowerColor hasn't confirmed if their Radeon RX Vega Nano will be available to the public ..... no fair....I hope they don't wait till its all but obsolete to finally put this model out.

I don't believe it's as severe as that. AMD has a propensity to show off early samples of planned products. An early PCB design for a dual-Fiji card was shown off at the Fury X launch, but the Radeon Pro Duo came much later and as an entirely different design. This is probably a similar scenario, however I'd assume a lack of resources for yet another Vega product line probably halted any formal release.

Wonder if this confirms 12nm rx 600 vega? Cut down/downscaled veg is possible and 12nm is relatively easy to adopt and would help increase efficiency at lower clockspeeds, which seems like a necessary change for vega nano.

It would help close a gap between 580 and vega56. It seems in smaller packages Vega is better, at least in APU Form

And 12nm supposedly is just tweaked 16/14nm((+)+), so should be easy enough if they can place everything correctly. I mean, leapfrogging is common practice (to a point), so 12nm could have been a little side project on the road to 7nm, which IS coming. If they can pull 7nm off, they can do 12 and since 14nm isn't competitive with nvidia's next gpus, AMD will have to do something to not be knocked out of the gaming gpu market completely due to lack of 7nm production and 14nm limitations. They can't hold out forever if they care about gaming gpus. In official statements at least they do seem to care about the gaming market, especially since it's supposedly growing and relatively easy to profit from.

The problem is the shaders/cus are general purpose jack of all trades but a master of none, GCN has served it's purpose, time for a new arch that is non GCN.

Yeah, but they can milk GCN while they make navi and, especially, its replacement! I'll take AMD over GeneralPoopPractices anyday untill it's wayyyy too expensive AND wayyyyy too slow! A bit like importing some American car to europe around 2000..... The current situation is more like the current state of Radeon.

Well, Sapphire already has an RX Vega56 Nano out. Its the PULSE model. It uses a VERY VERY slightly modified Nano PCB.

Is that really a capital crime ? They didn't mention anything at all about it, like literally nothing. So what exactly are you pointing out that they didn't adhere to ?

I'm not really interested in the Vega nano as the power usage of Vega doesn't really bother me, what I am interested in though is if it ends up being the base of the dual GPU Vega card like the Fury Nano did. Vega is the first series since HD2000 to not have a dual GPU card in the lineup and a dual Vega Nano would really appeal to me

Meh, there's not really much point without water cooling, but it would be damn good in a small case if it was on water, but then so would a mini nVidia card. This is way cooler than a nVidia card though.

BasardMeh, there's not really much point without water cooling, but it would be damn good in a small case if it was on water, but then so would a mini nVidia card. This is way cooler than a nVidia card though.

Pretty much every case can hold a 120mm radiator, so watercooling COULD be the solution, although that radiator would have to be so small for compatibility reasons that air cooling might work just as well. Lower clockspeeds or lower CU count are the solution. Personally, I think 40-48CU and high-ish clockspeed are the way to go and then air cooling could work just fine. Vega IS an efficient and powerful arch, just not if it has to compete with the likes of 1080's and 1080 ti's, so AMD really only has to figure out a way to make high-end cards wayyyyy more efficiënt, while still keeping them profitable. Larger dies could help for example, because then you could keep clockspeeds down and increase efficiency, but that would make vega wayyyy too expensive and more 64 CU's seems to be the limit for vega and faster RAM Also would be too expensive probably, but would help a bit.

Maybe latency is a major part of the problem as well seeing as more CU's is worse sometimes. Even "12nm" would help with that, probably about as much as with zen, if not more because so many different clusters have to work together. Faster RAM, lower latency in the gpu itself and mildly increased efficiency (which probably just translates to higher clockspeeds, which also means lower latency) will make a fairly significant difference, 10% or so with gpu limited workloads.

7nm (gaming) vega/navi should come before the end of Turing/Ampere/Volta, so AMD CAN still fix things. Their lack of innovation in years past reaply messed them up and nvidia could be slowing down and in 2020 Intel will join the clustercluck, so they have about 2 years to get creative!

Does this have the same type of Vapour Chamber the original Nano had?

Considering that the PCB on the on a full size Vega card past the PCI connector almoust nothing but empty space, the power connecters and a couple of random bits that can easily be moved a nano is kind of expected. Almost not newsworthy.

cdawallNow that is kinda cool. Hopefully a full coverage water block comes out for it.

An AIO bracket or a full cover block is the only way i see this being competitive in the same class as its bigger brothers (V56, V64). I would hope they make it with the full core enabled but i doubt it based on vegas thermals and power draw, even the Fury Nano throttled to the point where it was keeping up with the 980, not the 980ti. Its going to be close behind the 1070 is my best guess, if it had of been release way earlier we might have seen a 1060ti to compete
