The amd radeon rx vega 10 chips bring multiple designs

It appears that the Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics cards used in the Radeon RX Vega 64 chips differ slightly in both build and height.

According to the guys from guru3d, the Radeon RX Vega 10 unit that they have received for analysis is quite different from the samples received by other industry media, and this is mainly due to a single reason, and that is that AMD is making Vega in two different places.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 10 chip designs may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer

The photo above for example sports a black coating between the chips, while the next photo has a completely different coating.

Although at first one might think that this could have an effect on the cooling and on modifying the performance of the chips, the difference is incredibly small that a little thermal paste will probably leave you indifferent.

After contacting AMD, this has been their response to explain these minor inconsistencies in AMD RX Vega 10 designs.

We have multiple manufacturing partners for the Vega 10 assembly. To satisfy the high volume production we have set for Vega10, we have needed access to most of the global capabilities of 2.5D interposer technology. Each partner uses different processes, including one whereby epoxy filler is added over the entire surface of the SOC. This specificity does not affect the system in any way and all Vega10 packages are equivalent in form, dimensions and functions. In the absence of functional differences, any Vega10 model can be placed in a Vega10 XL, XT or XTX package.

Well as you can see, even if your neighbor has a Vega10 chip with a slightly different design, you don't have to worry because it is a completely normal process by AMD.
