Radeon Vega Frontier Edition LCS and 4096 Shader Processors
Last night we reported about the new announcements from AMD. The 'mission intelligent' enterprise graphics card is fitted with 16 GB of HBM2 graphics memory and has a memory bandwidth if 480 GB/sec. We also have new photos showing a water-cooled model.
The card has 64 compute units x 64 shader processors is 4096 Shader processors. They will perform in the 13 TFLOP (fp32) performance bracket gaming wise, which is almost half higher than AMD's Fiji-based R9 Fury X. If you look closer at the photos you'll spot two cards, thus two models. Both would get two 8-pin power header, these cards are going to need some power alright. The gold colored card is the liquid cooled version as you can see the tubing. You'll note that the card does not have a fan and thus that would be a full-block cooling solution.

AMD's Radeon Vega Frontier Edition will offer boost clock speeds that are around 1.5 GHz. That liquid cooler version likely a notch higher, who knows perhaps the 1.6 GHz marker is viable. The photos could be perceived as the reference model cards, yet with another color. It was stated that they will become available in June. At this point there have been no consumer announcements regarding Radeon RX Vega graphics cards. From the looks of it, the announcements will be made during Computex.

As it looks that it does boost to 1.5Ghz I can easily imagine big Vega to boost to 1.6GHz with a proper aftermarket cooler (or anything witch liquid cooling of course).

13 tflops it has to run 1550 or 1600 for that one

I hope that the card comes in black and red or atleast the the blue colour on the gold card needs to be rgb ( Cause RGB increase perf by 5% right

So, it runs at 1.42GHz. And has 2 HBM2 stacks of 8GB.
