AMD VEGA (Radeon RX 490) Launch Imminent ?

AMD VEGA (Radeon RX 490) Launch Imminent ?

As you all know, AMD is yet to release the enthusiast SKUs for their graphics card line. The Radeon RX 490 series will be based on a GPU called VEGA 10. We already know that AMD Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) chief Raja Koduri tweeted that development of "Vega10" had just crossed a milestone, although it's a long way to go before you can see it".

AMD was supposed to launch their high-end class VEGA (codename) product in early 2017, the latest rumor was that the launch was being moved forward towards October. However today on Facebook Chris Hook, Sr. Director, Global Marketing and Public Relations, Radeon Technologies Group at AMD posted a photo with the comment "This is the Vega launch venue. Shh, don't tell the press". Considering half the worlds tech press is on his facebook, that obviously was a rather subtle joke slash hint.
  

Not exactly what you'd expect for a product launch - but for gaming series graphics card it certainly looks like a scenery from a Batllefield'ish game?


If this isn't a complete pun (and I do not expect it to be) then AMD is preparing a launch event for VEGA. Let's say you start planning such an even two months up-front, then indeed you can expect launch time to be October ...

So After Polaris comes Vega, Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, the fifth brightest star in the night sky and the second brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus. On earlier roadmaps VEGA was tagged as a HBM2 product. 

On the venue ... I better get my Tetanus shots.

hype

For the sake of AMD please do not hype this.


The hype wasn't done by amd or their fans.
Its was actually done by those wanting to hurt the AMD launch by throwing out unrealistic results knowing full well on release it will hurt it.
I new it as it was happening and those doing it must of been laughing because they new the outcome.
Pretty idiotic to be honest , Unable to fight clean

not agree, most of the hype were, is, and will be by AMD itself... and the result are always very bad for the product wich is most of the time good.

on top of that there is always fan from both side wich talk and make it grow ("who is better the elephant or the hippo?" "if your hippo is heavy, my elephant is 2 ton heavier" "my hippo have multicolor horn that do music in the dark!!! your 2 ton mean nothing".... kind of that you know :stewpid: lol)

they should really change their com manager now they have correct driver lol.

Goodies incoming. Atm I am more than happy with the RX480; slapped a AC Turbo 3 on it and works like a charm. Eager to see the new HBM based cards.

There are two Vegas the bigger Vega 10 and the smaller Vega 11. The rumored Vega launching this year likely to be the smaller Vega 11 which competes with GTX 1080/1070. The big Vega 10 in reply to GP102 Titan X Pascal probably release on Q1 2017 at the earliest.
