AMD Radeon RX Vega (Consumer version) Spotted in 3DMark FireStrike
Performance figures of a Radeon RX Vega have surfaced in 3DMark, this is not the Frontier edition but looks to be the one of the consumer models to be released and announced (hopefully next week) as it carries an 8GB graphics memory entry.
The RX Vega sample is clocked on a really noce 1630 MHz, the HBM2 memory runs at 945 MHz. The card as stated is listing back as a 8GB version. The Futuremark ORB shows that three tests have been run and return graphics scores of 22,330 points, 22,291 points, and 20.949 points. So, 22K on the GPU score is roughly comparable towards (actually pretty spot on) the GeForce GTX 1080, but well above the GTX 1070. I am talking a Founders Edition here, not a tweaked model. It obviously is unclear if the entries are based on the air or liquid cooled version.
On a sidenote: these entries seem for real, they are listed with a user tag called 'TheGameTechnician'. Look that up and you'll spot a name, Jason Evangelho. And yeah Jason would be the Sr. Technical Marketing Specialist at ... AMD.
** update - apparently some people are willingly not seeing our source link at the top where the original material was sourced from, the screenshots are courtesy of videocardz as linked there (as we always do).

Running these on an Intel 5960x seems a bit suspicious.

If they sell it for $400 it will be competitive but I can't imagine AMD wanting that. It's a far bigger chip than the 1080, HBM2 is more expensive and the WC edition can't be priced that much more, so it's only going to eat into margins further. Next year they plan on refreshing it on 7nm with higher clocks (presumably) maybe that will be the crutch for the architecture, but so far it looks like the "hardware everything" that RTG wants (I guess because it requires less software developers) is a problem for efficiency and cost.
With Nvidia already shipping GV100 parts and consumer based variants most likely out in Q1 2018, I can't see AMD selling many of these, outside of miners maybe.
I'm hoping at lower clocks it's far more efficient for Ravenridge's sake.
The benchmarks were uploaded by "thegametechnician" who works in RTG's marketing. I don't know why he did it with a 5960x but yeah.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........??
Not sure about this one. The card that is.... the pricing better be some crucial "shtuff" as these numbers need to be paired with something "tantalizing....!"

Meh less than a 5% improvement over my overclocked GTX 980 Ti. The GTX 1080 at least overclocks pretty well, but if the power consumption of the FE is anything to go by this isn't going to be pretty.
