AMD Vega Latest News; Specs, Possible Release Date, Price & More
Keisuke AkioAMD has recently confirmed that it will be releasing AMD Vega graphics cards in the first half of 2017. Here are the details on the release date, specs, price and other speculations about the forthcoming AMD Vega graphic cards.
Price
There would be various levels of AMD Vega GPU. The top card could be the new AMD RX Fury, which would be positioned to compete against the GTX Titan X or GTX 1080 Ti. Its price could be approximately between $800 and $1,200. The price for the coming AMD Vega GPUs is going to be based on comparative performance. If the 8GB AMD Vega 10 card or the potentially AMD RX 590 manages to go up against the GTX 1080, probably the price could be approximately between $600 and $700.
Specifications
The AMD Vega will have an 8GB card that is expected to sport second-gen high bandwidth memory (HBM2). This gives it a maddening level of video memory performance.
It will have a 2,048-bit memory bus with bandwidth at around the 512GB/s mark. AMD Vega will also have a High Bandwidth Cache and High Bandwidth Controller, which means the GPU can now stream in rendering data from your PC's system memory or even an SSD. This means that it does not have to come through the card's frame buffer, according to PCGamesn.
Release Details
The first AMD Vega GPU design has already passed the South Korean National Radio Research Agency certification (RRA), which is usually a good sign that it is nearly ready for mass consumption. In addition, AMD also announced at the start of December 2016 that the AMD Vega GPU is in its professional-class Radeon Instinct deep learning accelerators. The speculation has come from Wccftech, which claims that AMD will be launching the AMD Vega cards at a special event during the month of May.
