The official announcement of the new GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 graphics cards has prompted AMD to make a change in its plans and move forward with the arrival of its future high-performance AMD Vega graphics architecture.

AMD Vega is ahead of October to face Pascal

AMD Vega was scheduled for early 2017 but Sunnyvale's have seen the wolf's ears and have decided to bring his arrival forward until October of this year 2016. AMD Vega 10 is the successor to Grenada / Hawaii and will use the fifth implementation of Graphics Core Next (GCN) with a total of 4, 096 stream processors and possibly 8GB of HBM2 memory.

AMD Vega will be a chip that will include the new high-performance stacked memory HBM2 and will be built in Global Foundries' 14nm FinFET process. With these features, Vega will be more energy efficient than Polaris. The most powerful silicon will be Vega 11 that will arrive to succeed Fiji and that could have a total of 6, 144 stream processors to compete with the Nvidia GP100 “Big Pascal” chip. Vega 11 will include 16 GB of HBM2 memory.

With this we can deduce that Polaris is not going to compete in performance with the GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 but seeks to offer mid-range and low-end solutions at very competitive prices and with very moderate energy consumption.
