That'll be fine, shouldn't bottleneck it at all. Another month or so and we should find out performance/pricing etc

When will the waiting end?
Seriously?
How you explain the Vega MI25 card works at 1525, which is aircooled, and a watercooled Vega GPU works at 1000mhz?
Use some logic before you post in here such crap clickbait articles.
I think the excitement of AMD failing gets triggered way before the logic part in his brain, so he gets all excited and posts rubbish like that in order to try and take a cheap shot. But as usual it ends up backfiring on him

Hmm you are right. The Ryzen CPU success sat like stones in many stomachs and cannot be digested.
A successful Vega, and they will run to the doctors to subscribe them omeprazole.
BTW do we have something official on the MI25? I tried to find something on it, but failed. I came to the same conclusion it needs to run 1525MHZ to get 12.5TFLOPS, but did AMD share any official info on it?
Possible news is still news Often yes Doom does post non AMD Friendly stuff But this time he did say if true and linked to a article, i personally dont see it any worse then some of those that were hypin the 480 up to be a 980 TI killer. End of the day AMD havent given us facts so rumours are bound to happen and jumped on as they are all we have

Ryzen successful, mmm, goes on Lenovo website looks for Ryzen workstation & desktop, nope, goes on Dell website looks for Ryzen workstation & desktop, nope. Might as well add the obligatory....just saying.
What's with the bullying that has arisen over the past few pages

AMD has stated in prep for their Earning Call tomorrow that Ryzen is coming Q2 for partners, Dell, HP and more.
Seems they can't keep up with the demand.
Acer already announced Ryzen systems.

one model from a low tier vendor, not exactly market confidence
Q2, that old chestnut

One partner that jumped the gun, as it's supposed to come after the earnings call in May.
EDIT: Seems Origin is early as well, although they're more Boutique custom PCs.

When was the last time AMD had any real OEM penetration though? The last time they got close Intel killed it off early with illegal practices and bribes.
So far AMD has kept to everything they've stated with Ryzen, especially in regards to timelines; and I doubt they'd be stupid enough to lie during an earnings call for board members, and investors. That'll end up with them getting sued, and investors dropping them like rocks.

I think Vega will be good. I say this because with Ryzen they have obviously done some market research and came to the conclusion what we wanted was CPU's with more cores at affordable prices something Intel was starving the market of.
If they have done the same market research on the current GPU situation they will bring out a card that meets a need that isn't being provided for, making it attractive.
Whether that be a 4k card or simply affordable high end GPU's, we will see what will happen.

They both seem to have the specs of an early sample though at 1200mhz.
So just need to add 25% for the eventual 1500mhz clock speed and that should be the eventual performance, 5700*1.25 ~ 7100, which is gtx 1080 territory.
The answer I want to know is if 225w TDP refers to the 1200mhz version or the 1500mhz version. We know the MI25 is rated at up to 300w.
However, we know at stock the GTX 1080 is very conservatively clocked to hit a low TDP, so it will be interesting.
If Volta shows a large performance increase (I'm skeptical as Pascal is just so good) then GTX 1080 level performance might become mid tier performance.
RX Vega ~ 1080 is just RX 480 ~ 980 all over again.

It doesn't add up. At 1200 mhz it means Vega is only 6% faster than the Fury X, but clocked nearly 20% higher when looking at Guru3Ds results.
That would mean Vega has significantly worse IPC than Fiji, and that there are no new architecture improvements.
According to their update on Guru, they also feel it is true, so not sure why you are getting so irate over someone posting a possible leak, true or not!
Update, thanks to the sharp eyes of GeniusPr0 who spotted that the Devier Hardware ID for the entry is 687F:C1, and that leads to a story we covered back in December.
We also noticed that ID for a Doom Vulkan result set that was posted from an AMD event (check photo above) So yes, chances are getting much higher that this is the real thing. You can retrieve the Hardware_ID info once you place the result set into a comparison. You then will also notice that this result set was a fresh one, created on the 12th of April.
not really what you call proof
, if the ID video came after the leak, then yes that would be proof, but ID available before the leak, if it's fake, he could have used the ID to make it more believable, especialy that the ID was known for a long time from various videocardz leaks.but still to me this performance is where a cutdown Vega should be, certainly not the full chip, at least i hope so, because im really not that confident that AMD will deliver with Vega, i had a gut feeling that something went wrong with vega's developement, and my worry grow as time goes by.
I am certainly not saying it is proof but the fact Humbug got all huffy over the original article and throwing his usual insults was why I posted what I did. It could well be spot on and the card is in low clocks or it could well be false but no need for the rant he dished out. We all like a good talking point and personally, I imagine it is correct but with very low clocks and when released, it will have another 300Mhz + over what we are seeing there.not really what you call proof

People need to stop making it personal, either counter the point, ignore it or RTM it.
