It looks like AMD Vega, and in specific the custom boards will be delayed even more. Chatter in the channel indicates that the board partners have not event received their GPU orders from AMD just yet. Currently the only custom board we have had hands on is the STRIX from ASUS, a review which ASUS asked us to pull.

They gents over at German Hardwareluxx asked some board parters about custom Vega, and did confirm what is already known. They did not name the respective manufacturer by name and do not use any quotes

• Manufacturer A: The custom models for the Radeon RX Vega 64 and Vega 56 are ready to market. However they waiting for AMD's GPUs. Radeon-RX-Vega-56 might be delayed indefinitely.
• Manufacturer B: AMD's product planning involved first placing the reference models on the market. However, availability is a major concern also cuasing a the delay of custom models. They can not specify an appointment or time period when you can expect your own designs.
• Manufacturer C: According to the manufacturer the release and final specification specification of AMD is missing. GPUs should not be delivered yet, assuming that there will be no products before mid-October. They did not want to comment on the development of your custom cards.
• Manufacturer D: Also a delay in the delivery of GPUs. To the actual state of the development of one's own custom cards, they did not want to express themselves.

As reported on HWL, AMD initially wanted to supply GPUs to the partners by September 11th for the custom cards. Currently it seems this delivery date was missed and delayed by an unknown timeframe. The board partners are confised because they have no further information on how to proceed. This means shop availability of Vega 64 in a custom design will not see the light of day anytime sooner than Late October, maybe even November.

Custom models of the Radeon RX Vega 64 Further Delayed - Vega 56 later
