There are seven AMD Radeon Rx Vega SKUs found by a dataminer in the AMD Linux driver code. The discovery revealed that not all the GPUs are designed for gaming, there could be three RX Vega cards for gaming and another three for professionals.

AMD Radeon Rx Vega is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2017, most probably around May. Currently, patches have been sent to pave way for its release. Gamers are highly anticipating the release as well considering that the latest range of GPUs will compete with NVIDIA's GTX10 series.

Recently, a dataminer in Phoronix has discovered eight AMD Vega GPU IDs in the latest Linux driver patch alongside several Polaris-based devices. According to the latest claim, there are approximately 40,000 lines in the said update that were recently released. This includes 100 small patches for AMD's Linux graphics drivers for Vega GPU support.

The discovered AMD Radeon Rx Vega support reveals that there may be seven different Vega 10-based variants that AMD's Linux drivers will be supporting. These seven Radeon graphics may not automatically be specified for the gaming market.

The Sunnyvale-based company has announced that they will launch not just a flagship Radeon RX Vega for gamers. In fact, they will release the Radeon Instinct cards equipped with Vega GPUs to be used with Artifical Intelligence. Aside from those, Radeon Pro cards intended for professionals will also be released, says PCGamesN.

Most probably, AMD will release one RX Vega card and a couple of Radeon Pro cards. This leaves us with three unknown Vega-10 based cards, which triggered speculations that the company might offer three cards fro gaming and three for professionals on the first wave. Meanwhile, tech enthusiasts and gamers are anticipating for not only the top-tier RX Vega but also a diminutive RX Vega Nano as well as the enhanced RX 590 from the Polaris rebranded RX 500 series.
