AMD Radeon VII 16 GB review
AMD Radeon VII will become available in reference design only
Ever since the Computex announcement there has been a lot of things said and spoken about the upcoming Radeon VII with it's 16GB of HBM2 graphics memory. Something new just surfaced, there will be no custom AIB cards.
So that means the VEGA20 powered graphics card will be offered in that triple fan based reference cooling design only. It also is kind of indicative that AMD will not put heaps of stock on the market, as this seems to be a somewhat more exclusive model, which at a price of 699 USD, of course, is a niche. There even is (unconfirmed) chatter that AMD would only make 5000 units available in the first launch wave. It's a bit of a bummer for the AIB partners, surely they will sell the product, but rather as an AIC (add-in card) as purchased from AMD.
AMD buyers that are interested won't need to wait long, the card is expected to become available in the first week of February 2019.

There aren't. Only 64.
I am looking forward to seeing the 4K performance. If there really are 128 ROPs in there, this thing can be a killer.

Understandable. Volume will not be sufficient to allow large range of custom designs. Would be waste of effort.

Though I was not at all impressed when I saw the announcement, I would consider buying the card as I have a 144Hz widescreen monitor with Freesync and I kind of dislike nVidia's ways. But only if:
I can find a compatible water block
The benchmarks are really good
The card is actually available when I manage to actually have the money, as it seems that not many cards will be produced.
The price is 620€ max. (699$ is about 612€, but that is rarely the street price. For example, nVidia said their RTX 2060 has an MSRP of 350$, but stores in Greece sell them for 500€+ which is crazy, considering you can actually get an RTX 2070 for 550€ if you're lucky)

5000 units made and just as a "oh hey we exist too" thing is kind of a miff. They're apparently selling them at a loss just to be in the sector.

No, that's what the RX 590 was. The Radeon 7s are sold because they're binned Firepros and don't know what else to do with them (which would explain the price point and weird memory size). It doesn't make sense why AMD would make these parts for any other reason.
As I've said before - these GPUs are just placeholders for Navi. We're all probably going to forget these exist 2 years from now.

This card is meant to lower sales of the Quadro RTX5000($2,300), and the RTX Titan($2,500), that's why Jensen Huang was so pissed of when they asked him about the VEGA 2($700). The value of the VEGA 2 is so much better for the users who need these kind of cards (content creators, compositers, etc...).

Radeon VII does not fp64 among other things. It's a poor choice for professional use. Live with it.

Another PR paper release. I wonder if they even actually plan to make these in any kind of decent volume...

Probably not. It will sell out until Navi replace it.

Same counts for Quadro RTX5000 and RTX Titan and I would have no problem living with that.
