Vega 10 is not the largest amd gpu but it is bigger than nvidia's gp102
Table of contents:
Raja Koduri, leader of the Radeon Technologies Group, has confirmed the size of the Vega 10 graphics core on Twitter after PC Perspective will update its forecast with an estimated size of 512 mm². Some thought that it would be the largest GPU manufactured by AMD but ultimately it will not be so although it is larger than its rival of Nvidia.
Vega 10 isn't AMD's biggest core
The confirmation comes in an unofficial way, Raja Koduri has subtly confirmed on Twitter that the new AMD Vega 10 graphics core is 484 mm² in size. Vega 10 was said to be the largest core ever made by AMD but this honor will continue to belong to Fiji, the most advanced architecture to have been manufactured with the 28nm process and which reaches a large size of 596mm².
To put us in perspective let's think that the Polaris 20 XTX core of the Radeon RX 580 reaches a size of 232 mm², of course the specifications of this are almost half that of Vega 10 so it is to be expected that its older brother is much larger. Despite not exceeding Fiji, the size of the Vega 10 can be classified as quite large, without going any further, the Nvidia's GP102 reaches 471 mm², so the new GPU of Sunnyvale's is larger than that of its eternal rival, another issue is how the performance will be.
AMD vs Nvidia: the best cheap graphics card
The first tests of Vega performance in games have been done with the Vega Frontie r and they do not stop very well the new AMD architecture that is content to fight with the GeForce GTX 1070 and GeForce GTX 1080 with a much higher power consumption. Recall that Vega 10 includes a total of 4, 096 stream processors along with 16 GB of HBM2 memory with a 2, 048-bit interface .
In theory the size of Vega 10 leaves the door open for a larger chip although it seems unlikely when this silicon already reaches a TDP of 300W or even more in the version of the Frontier passed by water, it seems that 14 nm does not They give much more to an AMD that needs to greatly improve its architecture.
