'Poor Volta' Lol, go AMD xD

Also the SOMNUM Industries logo appears to be a reference to the Nvidia logo with the eye shape. SOMNUM means 'sleep' in Latin.

Are they saying Nvidia is sleeping or is it that VEGA uses very low power when not doing much as if it's sleeping...
Interesting marketing but this type of stuff always raises more questions than answers.

Most of it came from that WCCFTech. I'll never forget that rubbish if Polaris easily overclocking to 1400 and 1500mhz.

They even went so far as to claim AMD tried to get them to pull the articles by offering them early Polaris cards for review; obviously because all the leaks were oh so accurate.

They simply made up random rubbish for clicks, and people actually believed them.

Not sure about the WCCFTech angle - but there was a basis for the claimed clock speeds - from what I've heard early sampling indicated it would be possible and if you compare to what is possible on Samsung and TSMC equivalents sounded feasible. The reality was a little harsher. GF is supposedly upto speed now though which gives me hope that AMD is at the very least in a good position to bring something to the table unless they screw up massively.

EDIT: IMO this is further supported by the configuration of the PCB which would not have been an issue if the cores had the type of characteristics subsequently seen on Samsung 14nm products.

and yet we keep seeing links to various articles on that website. boggles the mind really, why would anyone believe anything they publish?

Fake news and clickbait. The worst thing is other sites repeating it without any fact checking, so everyone thinks it's the truth.

That's the worse thing about it, I avoid going to there site and lately I find articles on other sites that give WCCF as there source, It's as if they see WCCF getting all the clicks and they want them by any means possible so there integrity goes out the window.
Only on the internet!
 
I assume the above confirms that at least one of the consumer Vega cards will have a solid state storage drive. That is why the are references to address space, cache controller and bandwidth per-pin.
