New AMD roadmap shows Vega and Navi Architectures

New AMD roadmap shows Vega and Navi Architectures

While the Polaris GPU architecture is to be released this year, two new architecture (or product series) code-names have surfaced in a roadmap shown in an AMD presentation, Vega and Navi.

It seems that after Polaris in 2017 VEGA will make an appearance, the name is tagged with HBM2 meaning that HBM2 likely will not make it onto Polaris. 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. Next in line in the 2018 timeframe we see Navi with the two keywords being scalability and Nextgen memory.
  

 
The slide is plotted in years/time against perf per watt, so you will notice that the perf/watt ratio almost makes a 2x step every new release. It will be interesting to see how ling AMD stays at 15nm, 7nm is obviously the next step in fabbing, that technology is due for release in 2019/2020.

I think we are all guilty of rushing to make assumption. The more we here it, the more we expect it. Patience is not allows one of our virtues.

I don't think we are going to have high end Polaris I think it will be lower end low power notebook/midrange I don't even think they will have hbm on them maybe next year for what we want?
I know I know but....that would be crazy for amd to put out a high end card in the next few months(besides the frankin card crap),they have to work on the 3xx and lower replacements like why have them power piggy cards in the line ups if you are boosting about lower power use?(that all they have said about Polaris so far tbh).
Samsung can do exactly that for them small die chip that has performance.

just saying of coarse no one really knows no matter what amd says anyway

What about Navi and "Nexgen memory"? What could that be? And its not like its far away, less than two years time.

^^ Probably HBM3 or something, efficiency improvements maybe. Can't be anything else really can it? I mean HBM is designed to beat a bottleneck that doesn't even exist yet so unless AMD are planning some top tier magic ****, memory won't be a bottleneck again for ages.

Something something another new memory generation.

I first thought it was just a typo but I guess they wanted to make it sound cool. :D

I'm also more curious what they mean by scalability.
