AMD Radeon Vega 12 and Vega 20 Wave Hello From Ashes Of The Singularity Database

[shankly1985]

@shankly1985 : is it worth revisiting the wording of your original post to clear up confusion?

From my understanding, the 7nm Vega announced is for Radeon Instinct (as you said), but that's not RX which is the gaming card name. Also, Lisa Su said 7nm was coming to gamers, not 7nm Vega coming to gamers. That's Navi next year.

Thought it was worth the clarification given the article you've copied and pasted has these little inaccuracies in it.

Cool beans, thought it was worth it just in case it kicks off any fanboi antics around here

I'd expect a 44 CU chip is likely.

I'd expect a 44 CU chip is likely.

Quite likely imo depending on 7nm yields, would largely replace rx570 as well

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed but my hopes set to low.

Updated my list above - Vega 8/11 (and 3/6/10) are just branding names for the APU parts and are in reference to how many compute units they have.

Can't find an actual "core name" for the part they are using though, although wouldn't expect it to be "Vega10" as used by Vega56/64, as needs to be optimised for power consumption, and so far has only been shown with up to 11 compute units

The Vega 12 is odd.
Polaris 10 went to polaris 20
So Vega 10 going to Vega 20 as the big chip makes sense.
Vega 12 naming points at 1st gen product not 7nm... Which would be odd. It makes sense from a performance roadmap that they have a Vega chip to sit in the rx 560 to 580 space that performs between current 580 and Vega 56. Then a cut down variant for a 570 and 560 replacement. Then having the 2400 and 2200 sit below that.

But absolutely zero clues about wether it is a last 14nm a 12nm or a pipecleaner 7nm product. Do we know anything about it at all?

They are coming, and to be honest sooner than I expected.
Fun times ahead by the looks of it.

I'm still confused with the naming system. I thought AND was jumping straight to 7nm for graphics cards and CPU's.

This is why I'd be very surprised if we don't get a 7nm RX Vega refresh before Navi hits, I can't see every Vega20 produced for Instinct being successful and therefore every 7nm Vega produced being purely for Instinct. Surely AMD would want to give 7nm a good run to get all the kinks out of it before producing Navi?
