AMD CES 2018

Intel CPU + Vega in a single unit is great, imo ... miners shouldn't have much interest in yet, yet it also means more Vega on the market and thus more focus on the drivers.
 
RX Vega M GH is a 24 CU / 1536 Shader part, but for some reason still has 64 ROPs.

Hmm,it might explain why despite only having 1536 shaders Intel says the top SKU will be around GTX1060 Max-Q level performance,and why the cut down version,is more a GTX1050/GTX1050TI competitor.

Edit!!

I wonder if that highlights how ROP limited the AMD GPUs are - I wonder if the Vega shrink might increase the ROP to CU count?? Even Vega64 has 64 ROPS.
 
Spec seems strange. Both the 100 watt chips and two top end 65 watt use the exact same hardware and clock speed.

Is it just higher quality silicon that Intel feel is enough to produced a new part?

in the vid he goes on about the nuc with 65w is not overclockable but the 100w chip on the nuc is, so does that need two chip types then ? one locked down and one not?
 
Well the fact AMD announced mobile Vega,hints a new 24 CU part is being released. I do wonder if the 7NM shrink of Vega will be a straight shrink or will it have some extra shaders,etc??

It seems Global Foundries 7NM is being used:

It's a new part, Quad Memory controllers for four stacks of HBM along with 1/2 DP support and possibility of an AMD equivalent of Tensor cores.

the 100w is the K version of the cpu...while the 65w is locked.

Good news for miners, bad news for gamers if AMD starts dedicating die space to their own FPGA cores as it's not like AMD has the money to develop two separate lines of products (one for consumers and professionals and one for HPC) like Nvidia can.
 
bits and pieces here and there

Zen+ coming soon on a 12nm process... then a phase 2 Threadripper set later on in the year

for 2019 we've got Zen2 coming on a 7nm process, then Zen3 in 2020

there's quite a bit of Vega stuff there as well being expanded in 2018... but no solid details on the desktop GPU's yet really

Are there any links to any of this? its almost as if its all a bit hush hush, someone at PR isn't doing their job well because no one even knows any of this is going on.
 
hit youtube... the regular names like JayzTwoCents, HardwareCanucks, Pauls Hardware are covering the event, and have footage of the AMD presentation along with referance slides of the new AMD roadmap

I'm subscribed to all of them and am not getting any notifications, usually i do about 3 minutes after they uploaded content.
 
i watched their coverage this morning... so i know it's there

check their channel pages, or just do a search for CES, also grab the LG robot fail video... it's worth the laugh
 
Zen+ coming soon on a 12nm process...

Be nice if 12nm was the "real deal" for them - seems so many AMD products lately have suffered from either not being able to access the node they really needed or nodes that haven't quite hit the performance profile needed i.e. Fiji would have been a completely different story on TSMC 16nm and seemed pretty much made for sub 28nm and IMO GF 14nm has really held back Zen and Vega products which would work well on something like TSMC 12FF.
 
i'll wait and see... this is all just announcement / roadmap stuff yet

i'll judge it when i see it, thats about it for me... i rarely trust the first word of mouth to bring hype about a product
