Amd ensures that Vega will be launched in the first half of 2017

Some time ago it was commented that the next generation of AMD VEGA graphics chips would be released during October due to the release of Nvidia Pascal graphics cards. This possibility has been totally ruled out by the company in a recent presentation in front of investors.

AMD assures Investors that VEGA will not come out until 2017

AMD has been very clear with its roadmap with respect to the rest of the year and especially in 2017, the graphics based on the new VEGA architecture will not come out until the first half of next year, the plans are not going to be advanced because Nvidia already have your Pascal graphics on the street.

The decision makes sense since AMD's Polaris-based charts have allowed it to gain market share according to the latest reports, so they have no need to desperately overtake releases.

The launch of VEGA graphics cards would come together with Zen processors, so AMD is going to have a very busy 2017 year with launches betting at maximum performance with its VEGA graphics and Zen processors to compete against Intel and its i7.

VEGA will arrive alongside the Zen processors

Although we already have an idea of ​​what Zen processors can be, we still do not know what the performance that VEGA graphics can achieve can be, so the expectation is being very high. For now, during this year in graphics AMD will launch the Radeon Pro WX Series, that will be all for this season.

As color data, AMD assures that it will give very high support for virtual reality glasses and anticipates that by the year 2020, some 200 million VR devices will have already been sold.
