Amd confirms the launch of rx vega for this quarter

AMD has confirmed on its Facebook page that the Vega microarchitecture is practically ready and that its launch will take place this quarter.

In case you didn't know, Vega is the latest AMD graphics microarchitecture to be released with the new Radeon RX Vega graphics cards. The good news is that this quarter is coming to an end, so we could see the new platform as soon as June.

AMD confirms the arrival of Vega for this quarter, possibly around Computex 2017

As reported by the guys at WCCFTech, the presentation of the Vega microarchitecture and the first Radeon RX Vega cards could happen on May 30 during the Computex 2017 event in Taiwan, while the global launch of the new platform could happen a month later..

On the other hand, it should also be noted that the NAB event will be held in Las Vegas very soon, where AMD could introduce Vega's capabilities for 8K content processing and playback. In fact, the company has already left many clues about the future capabilities of the Radeon Pro series for 4K and 8K content processing, both in terms of editing and content creation.

The Vega GPU will also be accompanied by a premium CPU, possibly the rumored 16-core Ryzen processor that AMD plans to release this year.

Among other Vega news, we could also see more support for the aspect of artificial intelligence, at the same time that graphics cards will have versions optimized for laptops.

Until now it is known that Vega will have HBM2 memory technology and a new power system. Based on other leaks and benchmark results, the same portal indicates that Vega 11 graphics cards will have "a single HBM stack" that would provide improved performance within laptops, while allowing the new Radeon cards to be slightly cheaper.

Finally, the same source points out that after the official announcement during Computex 2017, AMD will launch the RX Vega series of graphics cards starting in June with lower prices compared to NVIDIA GTX cards.
