>With Polaris confirmed to use GDDR5, Vega is notable for being the first AMD architecture to use HBM2, and the first parts in general to use HBM tech since Fiji. I’m presuming these are higher-end GPUs to complement the Polaris GPUs (the smaller of which we know to be a low-power laptop design), which is where HBM would be more cost-effective, at least at current prices.
>Meanwhile AMD has also confirmed the number of GPUs in the Vega stack and their names. We’ll be seeing a Vega 10 and a Vega 11. This follows Polaris GPU naming – which has finally been confirmed – with Polaris 10 and Polaris 11. I have also been told that Polaris 11 is the smaller of the Polaris GPUs, so at this point it’s reasonable to assume the same for Vega.
It's over Nvidia is finished
AMD HAS NO GPUS & NO HBM2
AMD IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

Meanwhile all Nvidia had to show of Pascal is two 980M's on a PCB
>>53502353
And yet Nvidia will be the ones to release cards with HBM2 first, simply for the fact that Samsung are already mass producing them while SK Hynix haven't even really started yet.
And yet another AMD gets cucked episode.

AMD can't compete with Nvidia, for 2016 they can barely release 2 GPUs, same with 2017
Nvidia has top to bottom Pascal family

oh wait doesn't this already happen

Are they at least GDDR5X?

>implying it won't cost $700 for a 1070 with a gig of HBM and a 128 bit bus width.

And a year later, close to Volta's launch, the performance starts deteriorating out of nowhere.
>>53503245
Polaris and star naming is due to energy efficiency. So with 2.5x perf/watt promises, it should be quite something.
>>53503371
I think Polaris will be great, even if it doesn't introduce any new technology.
A more efficient and better optimized GCN is ideal.

kek for prophetic wisdom
>>53503257
We don't know because GDDR5X is not ready.
