On its facebook page (looks like the Polish one) AMD inadvertently shared a few words about Radeon RX Vega. When a user asked When will Vega be ready? 



AMD replied, with : “When it is ready … and it will be this quarter. It has been silent on the topic that is Radeon RX VEGA alright. Q2 runs to June. At this time a lot remains unclean, however reports claim that the AMD Radeon RX Vega should be released next month close to Computex, which would make the most sense of course.

Meanwhile AMD is showing capabilities of the new Vega cards right at this moment in Las Vegas at the NAB exhibition. AMD shows the graphics chip managing 8K video content in Adobe’s Premiere Pro CC 2017 video editing suite. For VEGA there will be Vega 10 for desktop cards and a smaller Vega 11 for mobile. The GPUs will come with 4GB or 8GB HBM2 memory based on a on a 2048-bit memory bus with ~512GB/s bandwidth. The card is assumed to be capable of 12.5 TFLOPS of perf.
