AMD launches Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
AMD just launched their Radeon Vega Frontier Edition card. It is a 'mission intelligent' enterprise graphics card for professional usage (data-crunching) and product designers, and yes it is not for PC gamers.
The card comes with 16 GB of HBM2 graphics memory and will perform in the 13 TFLOP (fp32) performance bracket. It will be available late June. At this point there have been no consumer announcements regarding Radeon RX Vega graphics cards. From the looks of it, the announcements will be made during Computex.

26Tflop FP16 i believe, I want to know how they got 16GB of HBM2(4 4GB stacks or 2 8GB ones)
Isn't that very good for AMD? That's a 25Tflop FP16 card. The 13Tflop FP32 means that it has a core clock of 1.6GHz, and that's on a single fan card. GV100 will cost tens of thousands of dollars, and meanwhile this is faster than anything else on the market.

They own a lot of major patents on it since they co-developed it with Hynix. They also own all of the interposer patents.

Yes.
Founders Edition is way nVidia takes most cash from consumer market. AMD is not doing that. If someone buys this professional card for gaming, it is his business. Same as buying FirePro...
Is it bad that I read that as Vega Founders Edition at first?
Yes.
Founders Edition cards were affordable by comparison.

I'm glad I quit waiting and just ordered the rx580.
I'm also pretty sure if the consumer version is going to be 8gb, it's probably not gonna be as fast as the 1080ti. Not that that matters much. The 1060 and 1070 are the better selling gaming cards for NVidia at the moment.
I predict that when Vega finally arrives on the market it will be either upper midrange or lower high, so AMD will not have a direct competitor for the 1070, there will still be a gap from the rx580 to the lower end Vega. I doubt they will be able to cut down and sell Vega for less than 1070 prices.
I also predict NVidia will either refresh or rebrand the 1000 series by then (possibly using gddr6?). The original 1000 series from NVidia was released May of last year.
