Amd Vega 56 and Vega 64 are nearing the end of their cycle

In a Cowcotland report, it appears that Vega 56 and Vega 64 graphics cards would be nearing the end of their market cycle, in the run-up to the arrival of Navi RX 5700 and 5700 XT in stores.

AMD Vega 56 and Vega 64 reach the end of their cycle, the RX 500 series will continue on the market

Sources report that the Radeon Vega 56 and Vega 64 graphics cards are nearing the end of their cycle and will no longer be manufactured. This makes us think that there is an AMD plan to launch a hypothetical RX 5600 and RX 5500 throughout this year to 'retire' the graphics of the Vega generation.

On the other hand, in fact, the Polaris-based RX 560, RX 570, RX 580 and RX 590 models would still continue to be on the market receiving permanent stock.

In this way, the Radeon RX 500 series will be with us for a long time, while the RX Vega 56 and RX Vega 64 are at the end of their useful life and no more chips would be being produced for these models. All cards that can be found in stores are reportedly in-stock models.

Hypothetical models that have yet to be announced are hard to talk about, but it is possible that the RX 5600 and RX 5500 will arrive in the third quarter, coinciding with Vega's end of cycle.

What's most surprising is how Polaris has remained an extremely profitable architecture for AMD since it debuted in the RX 400 series about three years ago.
