Amd says the radeon rx vega delay has been necessary to have sufficient stock

Chris Hook has assured in an interview that the delay of the new Radeon RX Vega graphics cards has been necessary to guarantee a sufficient level of stock to cover the demand of all users, who want to access the new graphic architecture of the company.

Radeon RX Vega is late to guarantee stock

Part of the reason that it has taken us to take a little more time ahead of the Vega launch, and I'll be honest about it, has been that we wanted a launch with a good volume. Obviously we have had to compensate for things like coin mining, they will want to get their hands on these new cards. We believe we are launching at a volume that ensures players can access the new cards, and that is important to us.

It seems that AMD has done the best it can to increase the stock and with it the availability, the objective was to mitigate the fluctuations in the prices of the Radeon RX Vega upon arrival to the market by cryptocurrencies. It remains to be seen if Vega will be a good option for mining virtual currencies due to its exquisite architecture. We will still have to wait a few days for them to arrive at the stores and we can verify that there is finally behind all this.

Recall that Vega is the most powerful GPU ever made by AMD, with a total of 64 Compute Units totaling 4, 096 stream processors and advanced HBM2 memory with 484 GB / s bandwidth. Vega will fight with the GeForce GTX 1080 although in 4K resolution it will have an important advantage with a minimum framerate up to 17 FPS higher, all according to AMD.
