AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition Spotted in AMD's Labs

Raevenlord · May 19, 2017

AMD's senior marketing director Chris Hook has taken to Twitter to tease AMD's recently-revealed, non-gaming oriented Vega Frontier Edition graphics card. According to the man, he's testing the Frontier Edition's lighting system, which, as we've seen in renders, is supposed to bring in that yellow shade to the Frontier Edition's brushed aluminum, "Pro Blue" furnishings.

What we should be paying more attention to, though, is the partial graphics card that stands to the frontier Edition's right side. It's only a partial, granted, but the black and red color scheme is reminiscent of... well... AMD's gaming Radeon graphics cards. Could this actually be meant as a tease for one of the gaming-oriented RX Vega graphics cards?

Honestly, who cares?

AMD release the damn things already

Bad press pic when there's a Intel computer in the same picture

Could very well be. Looks like a lit up Radeon logo like on the renders and GPUs on show instead of a silk screened logo like on the RX 480.

Do like that cooler, but let's face it... it's gonna be noisy as ****

As a Fin I don't like those Swedish colors :laugh:

Jokes aside. That's obviously just a led test, there's no graphics card under that shroud(no pcie power connectors on it).

It looks more like they are testing the capabilities of being a paperweight. :shadedshu:

The old saying is "keep your friends close keep your enemies closer". Maybe AMD understands it as keep your enemies hardware closer

That would make sense to test AMD's new hardware on the competition hardware also

It seems that the person who made the video for the Project Quantum, still works for AMD :laugh:

This. Hype train needs to get to the station sooner or later. We've already waited two years.

It looks to me, so much like Intel own GPU try some time ago :

Intel's was a Co-Processor, with no display outlets on the back.

That's just a pick of the cooler, there isn't even a card attached to it.

Same card they showed before:
