Amd radeon vega frontier edition confirms vega specs

We are still talking about AMD and this time it is the announced Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card, a solution oriented to the professional sector but based on the same Vega architecture that we will see in the most powerful cards of the company so we can get an idea of its characteristics and benefits. AMD claims this is the first graphics card that has been designed with artificial intelligence in mind.

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is a professional card based on the Vega 10 silicon that is powered by two 8-pin power connectors, the graphic core is made up of 4, 096 stream processors, 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs spread across 64 new generation Compute Units, therefore, it is confirmed that its specifications are very similar to those of the Fiji core, obviously with a higher clock frequency and a more optimized architecture to improve performance. The core is accompanied by 16 GB of HBM2 memory, the Radeon RX Vega is expected to have 4 and 8 GB of memory, with a 4, 096-bit bus.

With these characteristics, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition improves performance in FP32 by 50% compared to the Fiji core up to 12.5 TFLOPs, it is rumored that the Vega 10 core reaches 1600 MHz, so the improvement in performance should be fundamentally in the increase in frequency from Fiji's 1, 050 MHz.

Linux drivers point to a Vega-based, waterlogged Dual-GPU card

If the latter is confirmed, it would mean that the improvement between the two generations does not go much beyond increasing the operating frequency thanks to the passage of the manufacturing process at 28 nm from Fiji to 14 nm at Vega. This makes more sense the rumor that points to a new dual-GPU from AMD that would be in charge of removing the performance crown from Nvidia.
