AMD VEGA confirmed for 2017 H1

[Rroff]

And speaking of killing competition shouldn't you be boycotting Nvidia?

Unfortunately not an option - I couldn't support AMD on principle and no one else makes high end GPUs - despite what some think I'm no fan of nVidia and spoken out against their business practises many times.

Rumour has it that at a JP Morgan conference, today, Lisa Su said RX Vega will launch a couple of months after Frontier. I guess we'll find out if that's true when the transcript from that conference gets uploaded.

Here's where the transcript/recording will be uploaded.

Rumour source?

Rumour source?

Rumor source is a chap making a text post on Reddit's AMD sub reddit.

So you know wccft will have it as front page news soon, citing their "source".

 

[JediFragger]

That was my point too hence why I said I expect AMD to be left behind again when Volta lands.

Tbh I'm still expecting Pascal to out-perform it in the per-watt stakes!

Volta will absolutely muller it

 

[akarypid]

And they won't be able to Volta over it either.

That's Raja worthy right here.

^ This, right there, is gold!

With posts like these, suddenly Vega is now totally worth the wait!

I just listened to Lisa Su and she said Vega products releasing over the next couple of months.
That could mean a July release I suppose.

AMD are just too late.
Honestly Nvidia has everything covered.
they've got a solid £340 GTX 1070 that can handle 1440p very well and is better than all AMD's offerings
They've got the £450 which annihilates 1440p and can do 4k Pretty well.
Then they've got the ultra £650 GTX 1080 Ti that does 4K very well.

Now if AMD launches Vega at say £600 and can only match 1080 Ti or even worse lose to it....what's the point in waiting.
With all this wait the only thing that will make Vega worth the so long wait is 1080 Ti performance at 1080 pricing otherwise as already said there is no point in waiting

It's the same answer she gave at the Earnings call as well really.

Only 8 days until Computex and we find out what's going down.

Edit: Here's the full transcript.

We think we are very well positioned in the market with our products with our Zen-based family of processors on both the PC side and then very soon to launch in the datacenter side, and we’re also very excited about our Vega graphics set of processors that will launch over the next couple of months as well.

Nothing has changed really reading that, just gotta wait the 8 days and see what's up.

Yes, so we’re very excited about Vega. Vega is a brand new architecture and actually has really the world’s most advanced memory architecture for CPUs. What we did announce at our Analyst Day is that the first shipping Vega will be the frontier editions, which will ship with 16 gigabytes of memory and it will ship towards the latter half of June. You will see the enthusiast gaming platform, the machine learning platform, the professional graphics platform very soon thereafter.

So our EPIC CPUs we’ll be launching later this month – I’m sorry, in June and our Vega GPUs also in a similar timeframe.

so H1 is not going to happen then

This is what she said.

Also the post above yours has the entire transcript and all the quotes involving vega mentioned by Su.

Remember vega is Frontier Edition, Radeon RX, Radeon Pro, and Ryzen APUs. The APUs coming Q3-Q4.

 

[Howling]

I read that "will launch over the next couple of months" to mean they have multiple models and they're spreading them out. Bit doom and gloom for some folk to think that means no RX Vega for 2 months

Well Vega is Frontier Edition, Radeon RX ( multiple versions ), Radeon Pro ( multiple versions ), and Ryzen APUs. The APUs coming Q3-Q4.

You do realise that almost nobody spends anywhere near £340 on a GPU, right? We are the tiny minority. AMD doesn't need the greatest, fastest card, they just need to be competitive across as much of the market as possible, which is what they did with Ryzen (and then some).

 

[EsaT]

Well Vega is Frontier Edition, Radeon RX ( multiple versions ), Radeon Pro ( multiple versions ), and Ryzen APUs. The APUs coming Q3-Q4.

There's also top model Vega 10 and lower Vega 11 chips.
Later likely using GDDR for mass available cheaper memory.
Even if HBMs availability causes troubles with "full" Vega 10 they should try to get Vega 11 out.
Missing high end but at least having something modern to sell is lot better than having only old tech cards.
That stalling of architecture advance is why AMD can't compete with Nvidia.

Also some people are writing like no one ever want to buy a new graphics card now because NV launched them last year, so every people in the world bought them and will use them from now on to infinity.

Aye, having listened to the event and read the transcript it sounds like multiple Vega products including Frontier Edition, and they're all coming over the next few months.

AMD hasn't had this many products launching in over a decade, it's all so exciting really.
