Default AMD shows Vega 7nm 32GB HBM2

RayTrace render demo

None other than Lisa Su, the fearless leader of AMD, has announced the Vega 7nm and just as Fudzilla reported a few months back this is a Radeon instinct only and it won’t make it to a gaming part. David Wang the SVP Engineering Radeon Technologies Group went into a few more details.

Vega 7nm or Vega 20 as AMD used to call this GPU on its roadmap a while ago, naturally increased the performance in deep learning and artificial intelligence but at the same time adding 32GB of HBM 2 made it too expensive to launch as a gaming part. This is a "we told you so" moment.

The original Vega 64 and 56 only made profit as the market went crazy for any hardware suitable for cryptocurrency mining. Since this interest wave seems to be over, AMD could not bet on making let’s say, a 16GB HBM 2 Vega 7nm gaming part, as the BOM would still be too expensive.
7nm has massive advantages

David Wang SVP of Engineering at AMD, an ex-Synaptics chap who took over after Raja left has, went into a few more details about Vega 7nm. David said that a new 7nm has twice the transistor density at the same surface. This was not really a surprise but AMD claims that these new transistors are now two times power efficient compared to the last 16nm technology. AMD still calls these goals, so it is not set in stone.
