AMD Teases Vega 10 GPU Launch Venue, Coming In 2022

AMD's Vega lineup volition feature immensely powerful cards with HBM2 memory in 2022. Original Paradigm by FallenZeraphine

AMD's long awaited competitor to Nvidia's GTX 1080 may be correct around as the visitor teases the launch venue for its upcoming Vega GPU. The teaser came directly from the Senior Manager, Global Marketing and Public Relations, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD Chris Hook. Who posted a picture of the launch venue for Vega on his facebook page.

Vega is the lawmaking name of AMD's next generation loftier performance graphics compages featuring 14nm FinFET engineering science and second generation stacked High Bandwidth Memory.  In many ways Vega is the successor to AMD's last flagship graphics fleck Republic of the fiji islands. The globe's very first GPU to characteristic high bandwidth memory and the eye and soul that powers AMD'south Fury X, Fury & Nano graphics cards.

AMD Teases Vega GPU Launch, GTX 1080 Radeon Competitor May Exist Coming Sooner Than Expected

The VEGA teaser is a teaser in every sense of the word. Chris Claw did non reveal too much simply merely plenty to hook u.s.a. in, pun definitely intended. The photo he posted on his facebook page shows what looks similar a large industrial space that'southward in desperate need of "renovations" as Chris put it.

Unless Claw is attempting some kind of elaborate prank here, this will be where the venue volition eventually be held once the place is set upwards and gear up to go. And then it's quite clear that while VEGA may very well be coming sooner than we had expected it's still several months away at the very least.

The VEGA GPU compages was showtime announced by AMD'south head of the Radeon Technologies Group Raja Koduri at the company's big "Capsaicin" media result held earlier this year. Out of Capsaicin came the very first long term GPU roadmap that we've seen from AMD since the introduction of the very first GCN graphics products in 2022. the company's Graphics Core Next architecture, or GCN for short, is now leveraged across the company's unabridged graphics portfolio. From discrete GPUs, to APUs and console semi-custom SOCs.

The just launched Polaris based RX 400 series products are based on the company's fourth generation GCN architecture. According to several filed patents and some very interesting leaks via AMD's engineering staff VEGA is based on a brand new iteration of GCN.  At Capsaicin no specific launch dates were given for VEGA, not even Polaris for that matter. Despite the fact that information technology was it had been scheduled to launch only a few months after the outcome.

VEGA In Oct...?

With that existence said, the visitor's official roadmap suggested that VEGA would launch in 2022. We've heard some whispers since VEGA'due south official announcement dorsum in March which suggested that AMD was aggressively attempting to push the launch ahead to October of 2022, rather than early 2022.

VEGA's Evolution Reached A Major Milestone in June

If y'all've been keeping taps on WCCF and hardware news you'll recollect that AMD's Chief Architect of the Radeon Technologies Group Raja Koduri had revealed back in late June that VEGA had passed a major evolution milestone. In fact Koduri tweeted several photos of the commemoration right after he delivered the news.

Design team is thrilled with your response. Historic a milestone with the squad. Long way to become earlier you see information technology motion-picture show.twitter.com/duQVBBGict

— Raja Koduri (@GFXChipTweeter) June 23, 2022

Koduri did not offer much detail about what the milestone specifically was. Information technology could accept been the very first working silicon out of the fab, or final tapeout of the production. Whatsoever it was, it was clearly a huge deal.

Incredibly proud of our gpu blueprint team hither in shanghai that delivered polaris family and next Vega flick.twitter.com/ejvFJW1DoY

We bankrupt the news on the Vega 10 code proper noun in an exclusive dorsum in January. This is the infamous "Greenland" reincarnate that AMD has been working on for so many years. The VEGA architecture hadn't been announced until March, and the "Vega 10" flake hadn't been mentioned in a public setting until Raja bankrupt the news about the major milestone a couple of months agone. Now we take Chris Hook's sneaky teaser. It definitely seems like the footstep is picking up around VEGA. We'd exist genuinely surprised if AMD did not at to the lowest degree denote one or both of its upcoming VEGA GPUs earlier the year'south end fifty-fifty if no products are launched.

VEGA Congenital On 14nm FinFET -  Features Second Generation - HBM2 - Stacked High Bandwidth Retentivity

The Fiji GPU powering the R9 Fury series is AMD'southward largest ever graphics processing unit of measurement. It'southward also the world's start to feature the 3D structured, 2.5D stacked High Bandwidth Retentivity technology. This standard was co-invented by AMD and SK Hynix, i of the world's largest retention makers. The advantages of vertically stacking dies are many. One of which is the enablement of significantly greater densities compared to GDDR5. HBM cubes also occupy a lot less space than GDDR5, allowing engineers to accomplish tremendous area savings on the printed circuit board of the graphics menu.  This is what enabled AMD to make the pop R9 Nano, a tiny six inch graphics cards with 8 TFLOPS of compute. A effigy that greatly overshadows similarly sized cards.

There other advantages to HBM, namely how information technology's packaged. Because the retention chips sit next to the GPU on an interposer, a very short altitude abroad from the GPU die, it allows engineers to create immensely wider memory busses with reduced latency and very low ability requirements. The end result translates to a retentivity standard that's fast, scalable, very power efficient and very area efficient.

VEGA Is All Virtually Bringing HBM To The Masses

The Radeon Technologies Group'south plan is to innovate HBM2 technology with the upcoming VEGA graphics compages across more market segments compared to where the technology currently exists. Which is confined only to the highest end segment of the market. If everything goes according to plan VEGA will exist the kickoff architecture to bring HBM to all segments of the graphics market, upwardly and downwardly the stack.

HBM2 is the 2nd generation of the vertically stacked High Bandwidth Memory standard that AMD introduced last yr with the Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card, the R9 Fury and the R9 Nano. 2d generation High Bandwidth Memory is not merely faster than the first generation merely information technology likewise scales to capacities 8 times larger than HBM1. HBM2 feature 1GB per die and up to eight Hi stacks for 8GB per cube. Which is viii times more the highest capacity currently available per cube on HBM1. Additionally, HBM2 operates at twice the speed of HBM1 for double the memory bandwidth.

This means that VEGA x can be configured with up to 32GB of HBM2 memory for a total of one terabyte/due south of memory bandwidth. Paired with over 4 m next generation stream processors VEGA x volition be the most stiff graphics chip from AMD however. That is until the next big affair comes out. Equally is the nature of the animal.
