Radeon VII graphics card by Sapphire - Listed with 1750 MHz Boost frequency
Sapphire figured, well if ASRock can, we can too. And as such, they released a product page on the Radeon VII. The card listed is a reference product as well. This round though Sapphire added specification.
It won't be much longer before we'll see the first product available for VEGA20, aka the Radeon VII. While it is still a little unknown if there will be custom AIB products we do know that the AIB will do an AIC, e.g. they will sell the reference products. The first photos on that have surfaced, yesterday ASRock with the Radeon VII Phantom gaming edition, and today Sapphire. Both based on a reference design aside from a sticker or two. Looking at the box we see the confirmed thing like a 7nm process, 16 GB HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 1 TB per second and that Freesync 2 HDR support.
Sapphire is listing card ar a 1400 MHz engine clock with a Boost towards 1750 MHz. The card will be fitted with 1x HDMI 2.0b
and 3x DisplayPort 1.4. The Vega II or Vega VII logo has now also been confirmed. The new graphics card should be on the shelves by February 7 and is priced at 699 USD.

I really don't like that they aren't allowing custom designs.
That is a Big Minus in my opinion. I hope they will cancel this decision.
I'm not sure this is the case. It could just be a rumor.
Personally, I will consider buying a custom model (if there are any) only if there is a waterblock available.

By the way, there is now a reference design Vega VII card in XFX's website, but the specs mentioned are those of the Vega 56

I dont see why they will let AIBs to make Vega (insert all models) with HBM2.Because of hard work process to make HBM2 to work,will be very shamefully for Amd if AIBs will f**ed up Vega with HBM2.
Only Sapphire(who manufacture all reference and pro video cards) will be allowed.

Something does not add up here:
Same 300W TDP with only 14% higher boost clock? Is it really 14nm against 7nm?
And side note for those who did not notice: Transistor count went up by 5,84%. I doubt that's what it takes to add 2 more HBM2 chips.
There is some additional work. Especially when we consider that Radeon 7 has 6,25% fewer TMUs in comparison to Vega 64 and that small clock boost... How does one explain shown performance boost?
Or are there drivers boosting performance that much behind corner? (Other chance is that AMD managed to fix gaming related parts which did not 'work' on Vega 64 => transistor count.)

That standard boost does sound rather nice I think. With a little OC they'll hit 1800 or more with no issues and same
temps, not too bad.
Wanting to really see these cards under water!!! I'm getting one day one and can not wait for them water block reviews to grab up the best!
