AMD has also taken advantage of Computex 2018 to show its first graphic core based on the Radeon Vega architecture at 7nm, an important advance that will make possible a drastic improvement in the characteristics of this architecture.

AMD shows a Radeon Vega Instinct with a Radeon Vega core at 7nm

The new Radeon Vega 7nm GPU is intended for the high performance computing (HPC) sector, such as servers and workstations. This new silicon is specially designed for deep learning operations in artificial intelligence and machine learning. At the end of April this year, information appeared that AMD would be preparing its Vega GPUs at 7nm, to select customers in Q2 2018 with specific availability sometime in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The Radeon Vega architecture at 7nm is based on 5th generation GCN, just like the previous Vega 10 core at 14nm. AMD has talked about some of the benefits of moving to the 7nm process, which will be the protagonist in the company's GPU roadmap until at least 2020. The move to 7nm improves Vega's performance by 35% at the same time it doubles energy efficiency and takes up half the space, significantly lowering the cost of manufacturing.

AMD has unveiled a prototype Radeon Vega Instinct with 32GB of HBM2 memory. AMD has released the specs, but as far as we know so far the card could include a 4096-bit bus by using four 8GB HBM2 memory stacks each. Unfortunately, for now there are no plans to bring Radeon Vega at 7nm to the gaming sector.
