But this is people's point, he's not confirmed anything of the sort.

Personally I feel it's going to be July/August until these are readily available but late June is not end of June. Giving them the benefit of the doubt they could release one on the 23rd June and then the other a little while later on the 30th June and that would still fit in with everything they've officially said so far.
 
I'll ask this question, and if anyone can answer it they win a chupa chups lolly.

If you've made, designed and have production of a product what's to stop you releasing two. three, four, five different SKU's at the same time?

Logistics and marketing. It could be done, but you dilute the whole launch. You likely would have had to get everything right the first time, had time to stockpile the various SKUs (which can run you into inventory issues if you've made too much of something or not enough of your top sellers). In the days of Just In Time manufacturing and everyone putting the onus on their suppliers to stockpile components, the more you try to do at once, the bigger the resources you need to manage everything. And in the end, the public just get confused when there's too much going on.

Being AMD?

(which seems to be the prevailing zeitgeist on the forum and I guess the round about point you where trying to address?)
 
Ok so there was some confusion why they showcased the Vega Frontier against the Titan card.
As it turned out because it is aiming the same segment, the top card which in theory can be used for professional tasks too, and is more expensive than the gaming cards. It's not a full on professional card, but something inbetween.

Exactly the opposite, but nice try.

Nothing is stopping them, they could have easily released Ryzen 7, and Ryzen 5 at the same time, since they are basically the same, they chose not to. However, people in the graphics card forums sometimes are just morons to be frank, and think that somehow that announcing something, means that another thing has to be cancelled, delayed, blown up, end of life or equally stupid comments. No one just has the patience to wait and see, they are all crystal ballers, with inside information clearly :-<
 
2 reasons why there waiting .. (prob) 1 there pushing it to the limits to get over the 1080ti by quiet a margin 2) drivers or just the lack of hbm2 maybe there trying to get enough rdy so they can sell a few at launch

No not the opposite. I wasn't implying that you thought the answer was 'being AMD' but more that you thought that was the feeling on the forum and so where asking a leading question to get to that point.

Major difference is that you can actually do more on the Frontier Edition. Titan is basically a more expensive geforce.

  1. Was the card used in the gaming demos a Frontier Edition? And if so, was it the water cooled one or the air cooled version? A: It was an air-cooled version

  2. Does the card profit from DX12 a lot or is DX12 performance similar to DX11 performance? A: Our architecture is very well suited for explicit APIs such as DX12 and Vulkan. If a game or a game engine prioritizes low level access to the GPU, Vega will soar. At the same time we're optimizing Vega for legacy APIs as well as much as possible.

  3. Is there a difference in performance/clock speed between the water and the air cooled version or is one just quieter/cooler? A: There will be a slight difference in clock speeds, and therefore performance as well.

To realize the full potential of HBCC, yes we will need to see content from game developers use larger datasets. But we have seen some interesting gains even on current software, particularly in min frame rates. Part of the goal of launching Radeon Vega Frontier edition, is to help speed up that process.

Crap that means we'll probably see it being utilized in one or two games.

We’ll be showing Radeon RX Vega off at Computex, but it won't be on store shelves that week. We know how eager you are to get your hands on Radeon RX Vega, and we’re working extremely hard to bring you a graphics card that you’ll be incredibly proud to own. Developing products with billions of transistors and forward-thinking architecture is extremely difficult -- but extremely rewarding -- work. And some of Vega’s features, like our High Bandwidth Cache Controller, HBM2, Rapid-Packed Math, or the new geometry pipeline, have the potential to really break new ground and fundamentally improve game development. These aren’t things that can be mastered overnight. It takes time for developers to adapt and adopt new techniques that make your gaming experience better than ever. We believe those experiences are worth waiting for and shouldn’t be rushed out the door. We’re working as hard as we can to bring you Radeon RX Vega.

On HBM2, we’re effectively putting a technology that’s been limited to super expensive, out-of-reach GPUs into a consumer product. Right now only insanely priced graphics cards from our competitors that aren’t within reach of any gamer or consumer make use of it. We want to bring all of that goodness to you. And that’s not easy! It’s not like you can run down to the corner store to get HBM2. The good news is that unlike HBM1, HBM2 is offered from multiple memory vendors – including Samsung and Hynix – and production is ramping to meet the level of demand that we believe Radeon Vega products will see in the market.
