AMD Vega 20 3DMark11 benchmark surfaces
We've heard about the GPU called VEGA20 a number of times already. Vega 20 is to be a die shrunk version of Vega, with more memory. So it is expected to have the same 64CUs as in Vega 10 but would be fabbed at 7nm. A few days ago the card was already mentioned as 'spotted' in the AMD Labs, today however a result surfaced in the 3Dmark database.
We mentioned Vega20 a few times in the past already, and that would be a die shrunk Vega, much like what Ryzen 2000 will be towards the original Ryzen procs. Whatever the production node is, we don't know 100% yet though as that can be anything from 7 to 12 nm.
Earlier on a Linux driver entry was listing no less than six new device IDs referring towards "Vega 20". Vega 20 was mentioned to be released the second half of 2018 which makes 7nm a no-go. the card will have the same 64 CUs / 4096 shader processors as in Vega 10. VEGA20 BTW is suggested to also feature PCIe 4.0. compatibility.
We can now add to that a Futuremark 3Dmark 11 (UL) entry, which isn't going to say much in terms of performance with such an old benchmark. However, the card indeed was spotted, and with 32GB graphics memory it seems. That makes it an AI/Deep learning reference model being tested, likely something Radeon instict. Here is the Vega Frontier vs Vega 20 3DMark11 score as spotted by videocardz, the device ID of 66A0 belongs to Vega 20:

Nice, so a Vega 20 @1GHz is almost as fast as a Vega 10 @+1.6GHz and using the power of a Polaris GPU.
Bring it on!

Might PCIe 4 bring something new as well? Maybe this is running on an older spec Mobo and it needs PCIe 4 to really shine. We don't know because we haven't yet seen PCIe 4 in action.

I don't think AMD needs to pump out a brand new architecture. There is plenty good about Vega, it just needs refinement. But, if this is really just nothing more than a die shrink with better memory, this is looking very bleak. AMD had plenty of time and money to fine-tune Vega. The miners were a saving grace to them, and so far it looks like they're not taking advantage of that. They can't afford making another product that's mediocre to the gaming community (I personally think Vega is great, for non-gaming purposes).
The way I see it, whatever Vega 20 comes out to be would still be less than what people were expecting Vega 10 should've been. I sincerely hope Vega 20 is more interesting than we think.
