Information on AMD Vega 10 and 11 cards appears online

AMD will reportedly make a video card with Vega 10-gpu that will have 64 compute units and 16GB of HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 512GB/s. In addition, a Vega 20 card would get 32GB of HBM2 memory and support PCI Express 4.0.

Vega 10 will be delivered in the first quarter of 2017 and will have a typical board power, or tbp, of 225W, VideoCardz claims. The website claims to have a “very good source” that allegedly got its information from an internal roadmap for server products. This anonymous source is said to have previously provided correct specifications of Polaris mobile chips. Since it is a server roadmap, it is probably GPUs for business FirePro cards.

According to the information, a card with two Vega 10 GPUs will be released in the second quarter of 2017. This would have a tbp of 300W. The website also comes with information about Vega 20. This generation would be produced at 7nm and should have 32GB of HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 1TB/s. The video card would support PCI Express 4.0 and, like the Vega 10 card, have 64 compute units. The source says AMD expects the card to consume about 150W. There are some questions about the specifications. For example, a higher bandwidth than 512GB/s can reasonably be expected from 16GB hbm2.

In 2017, the current Polaris GPUs will be replaced by Vega 11 copies. No specifications are known yet, but they will probably be produced at 14nm. The successors to Vega, the Navi 10 and 11 architectures, will not be released until 2019, according to the VideoCardz insider. This is a year later than indicated on previous roadmaps.
