The 56 can ooze out roughly 10.5 TFLOPS in single precision (fp32) performance (based on AMD claims / measurements). The Vega 10 GPU is based on a 12.5 billion transistor GPU and is fabbed on a 14nm FinFET LPP process. It comes with over 45MB of SRAM cache across the chip and thus holds either an 8 GB (consumer) or 16 GB (Pro) configuration. Radeon RX Vega 56 is rated at a much better 210 Watt total board power and has 56 CUs x 64 shader processors per CU (= 3584 shader processors).
As stated, monitor display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one HDMI 2.0b output. Overall the card design is more of the same in terms of aesthetics. Nice looks overall though. There are a few micro switches to be found at the card.
Phased in over time you will see availability of the the liquid cooled version and of course this 399 USD Vega 56 model (end of August).
Radeon RX Vega 56 comes with GPU power phase LED light activity which you can color red or blue depending on your preference (as well as on/off).
At the front top side you can select your BIOS preference, there will be energy efficiency choices to be made for the secondary BIOS. So the alternative mode should be slightly more energy efficient. We doubt that anyone will use that mode, however it is nice to have a fail-safe BIOS on-board of course.
