AMD confirms Raven Ridge Vega 11 and halts production Vega Reference Cards

AMD confirms Raven Ridge Vega 11 and halts production Vega Reference Cards

In a recent interview with James Prior, senior product manager at AMD (the man behind Threadripper) mentioned a number of things that are interesting. First and foremost, Prior mentions that socket AM4 will be supported until at least 2020, and it will support Ryzen 2, not be confused with the optimization of Zen, named Zen+.


Prior also mentioned Raven Ridge, the APU that makes use of Vega 11 GPU 11 enabled Compute Units = 704 shader procs (until now APUs only have had 8 and 10 CUs). 
 

 
Last but not least, Prior also confirmed that will be halting the production of RX Vega 56 and 64 reference models. This way they only make the GPUs which they sell to board partners. That clears up the selling space and thus partners will get far more chips available. Hopefully, that will get volume availability of the cards back on track.

I'm pretty sure it will use an updated process, besides the usual tweakings https://www.globalfoundries.com/news-events/press-releases/globalfoundries-introduces-new-12nm-finfet-technology-for-high-performance-applications

Is silly when the most expensive, most feature packed boards cheap out by not providing video out, is all.

Not really, because nobody buys high-end desktop/gaming boards with the intent of using integrated graphics, let alone from one packaged with a low-end APU. It doesn't seem like you did your research, for either the motherboard or the APU. This isn't the motherboard manufacturer's fault.
It might sound silly to some, but the lack of integrated GPU is one the reasons I decided against going Ryzen. I love fail-safe redundancy and low-power.

I totally get wanting a fail-safe, but, the Bristol Ridge APUs aren't low-power (relatively speaking), and you're better off using a cheap discrete GPU for failsafe testing. I personally have an Nvidia 8400 GS that I use for such things.
And I cant remember the number of times my Intel HD saved me from borked video driver installation.

Out of curiosity: What exactly are you doing to your drivers to cause numerous scenarios where you need to depend on the Intel graphics? I've done some unusual configurations, such as AMD graphics with Nvidia PhysX, transferring a Windows install to a completely different set of hardware (including motherboard and CPU), and modified GPU BIOSes with pre-set overclocks. And yet, I have never needed to depend on the integrated graphics to get me back on my feet.

OK I am exagerating slightly ;)
I clearly remember using Intel HD two times to get out of borked video driver installation.
And once I used DDU, ended up with the even bigger mess, and again saved by IGP.

Vega 11 is replacement for Polaris , so not high end Vega 56,64 but RX570,580...
And for Zen they probably tweaked process to allow higher clocks hence 12nm nomenclature.

Sometimes down the road when Muon Lake and Zen4+ are released, I might wanna stick APU in my ole board and use it as whatevah...

clearly you are more than a guru by association :D
old school troubleshooting rules.
but... honestly never had a problem (other than typical launch issues) with Ryzen 1700 or Threadripper.
but there was a few times pre-post that i had my sphincter clenched :eek: :eek:
but i was more worried about seating that massive cpu...
