499 pages is a lot to go through. Because of my sheer lazyness, could anyone suggest if there has been any news of the Vega release or are AMD still hanging the carrot?

The release date has been known for months, there's an NDA which all companies have regarding new products and there's as much information as there usually is 1-2 months from a graphics launch.

AMD have a presentation at Computex on the 31st, expect the release date and details to be given then.
 
I look forward to the day AMD actually release a high end GPU. It's almost like we've entered the twilight zone, where AMD CPU's are actually decent and priced well. While their high end GPU side is non existent..

I been rocking a GTX 1080 Ti for a while now'

My biggest worry is that the price is so inflated because of the potential limited supply of memory that it gets ignored. I am thinking about going for a Vega card to go with my freesync monitor. It isn't good that my 290x's are still one of the best performing AMD cards, where is the upgrade path with red team.
I think that AMD are trying to make a small card, can I just have a big one (that's what she said) to fill up my case?

Nothing. Leak of a dual GPU card at some point. Likely no real news till computex i suspect.

LOL, someone asks a simple question and the next two posts are conflicting :p.

We seem to know more about Volta than we do Vega, at least some of the details, if not the actual release date

There is more to it than just cost of the card when considering PCB/package size such as latency which can be equal to performance in some situations. But I understand your thought. If it were only about PCB size for the sake of being small then to hell with it ..give daddy a full fat 295x2 sized PCB for cheaps :P

I'm not sure. I know there are already specification for HBM3 with lower power.

Here is the Nvidia slide : https://www.extremetech.com/extreme...-huge-size-advantage-of-hbm-over-gddr5-memory

You see that HBM power usage still increases massively. And that slide is out of date because GDDR6 is on par with HBM2 for power and bandwidth.

Some varient of stacked memory may replace HBM standard, or potentially actual 3D memory.

GDDR5x and the upcoming GDDR6 seem to have tripped HBM up which is a shame for AMD especially with the problems surrounding their HBM source if accurate.
