AMD 7nm GPU News and Rumours 2018/2019

Well, I believe it will in the next couple of years.
After all, with AMD, we are still stuck at Polaris refreshes...

GDDR5/6 is very reliant on node shrinks to compete with HBM - and future iterations of HBM will only increase the pressure of it. Still GPUs are only edging now towards where it has any real advantage over GDDR and even then it is only high end/compute type application and HBM still needs a bit of optimisation for gaming use.

Funny thing is I got a lot of stick here and elsewhere ~3 years back for saying that GDDR5 ain't done yet including some real nasty comments yet here we are today, especially some vitriol from those that perceived my comments as a slight against AMD.

£315 quid Inc Apple tax for the v20. Not bad.

Apple really need a low power Ryzen 8 core option.

That isn't an actual 7nm Vega 20 though, but an Apple marketing name.


What this is the Intel-AMD Vega-M https://www.pcworld.com/article/3246204/ces/intel-launches-core-chips-with-amd-radeon-graphics.html

Moreover, the actually GPU is not even Vega, it is Polaris with 4GB HBM.


The 20 refers to numebr of compute unit, so 1280 stream possessors. This is basically a Polaris 560.
 
Ok so AMD will use the 7nm Vega 20 with 4 GB HBM2 in a mac pro laptop.
So what do you think about a desktop gaming variant now?

Pricing is quite good, only £315 more than whatever the 4GB 560X cost

It's 14nm,
The desktop is already out 2200/2400g
Amd have no intentions of providing vega m/h to consumer market

It may be a 12/14nm Vega with 20 compute units (1280 shaders), that could be the Vega 11 chip.

No, it isn't Apple's marketing name but AMD's own marketing name. APUs contain Vega 3, Vega 8, Vega 10, Vega 16 and Vega 20.
It is Vega not Polaris :D

Ryzen 5 2400G comes with Vega 11, or 704 shaders.
Ryzen 3 2200G goes with Vega 8, or 512 shaders.

Vega 20 has 1280 shaders, the biggest and best performing Vega mobile part.

Yes well aware of what they all are thanks, I have an r5 2500u, nothing changes what I said.
Amd only cater for Intel and apple, they will not sell a vega m for consumer level.

No the biggest is vega m gh 1536, as I was referring to in my post to bru

It's not the Vega 20 you think it is though. It's not even 7nm. It's just a mobile version of the current Vega.
