Amd has less than 5000 radeon vii to launch and no custom versions either

We get new rumors that AMD only has less than 5, 000 copies of the graphics card for the launch of the Radeon VII. Also, there is no information on any manufacturer building a custom Radeon VII. So what does AMD intend to bring to the market a limited card in units and without views a customized version?

There is only a stock of "less than 5000 units" of the new Radeon VII

If good news came to us yesterday about the new AMD Radeon VII and its promising performance, today we see the other side of the coin. And is that according to the TweakTown medium, AMD will launch its new Radeon VII graphics card with less than 5000 units for sale.

AMD Radeon VII was officially announced at CES 2019, where the company reported all the details about this new 7nm GPU. The company also revealed that the price would be $ 699 and that the launch date would be February 7, 2019.

Now rumors say that this graphics card was not going to have a model in the consumer market, mainly due to the high cost of building the 7nm chip, initially called the Radeon Instinct MI50. And also to the expensive implementation of 4-module HBM2 memory with 2048-bit bus width.

Finally, the company has decided to bring it to the market in the form of a graphics card with promising results, but only with 5, 000 units, we do not know exactly what they play, but we intuit that everything is due to the need to get a worthy rival for Nvidia in the shortest possible time. Creating excitement and good feelings is a basic marketing ploy to get stronger.

There also doesn't seem to be any custom Radeon VII graphics cards

To the low expected stock of the Radeon VII, we also have to add the fact that no manufacturer has spoken about the construction of this new card. “You can't filter something that doesn't exist” were the words obtained during CES 2019 from AMD sources.

It seems then that together with the low initial stock of this new Radeon, the company does not want to open AIB so that other manufacturers build their own versions. This shows a somewhat poor planning by the company or that it has been directly thought out at the moment, and in the short term, to give us a preview of its new 7nm architecture. This card was initially published with another "wrapper" and the name of AMD Radeon Instinct MI50, with an approximate consumption of 250 or 300 W based on the 8 + 6-pin connection and a clock frequency in turbo mode of 1747 Mhz.

Following information from the brand about their creations under this architecture, we see it quite likely that this is only a foretaste of what is soon to come from the brand for the new generation of 7nm graphics cards. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD said, "We will hear more about Navi in ​​2019." We trust that they are new models for sale or a new range of cards more stable and established than this model.

In any case, we are confident that AMD can battle Nvidia with these new GPUs, the brand needs to vindicate itself, and it would be a very good thing for consumers. What do you think AMD plans with this Radeon VII and Navi architecture? Will it be up to Nvidia?
