Vega HBM 2 8GB memory stack costs $160
 

BOM goes the bank balance

It is hard to forget the fact that Vega is more than a year late. It was supposed to launch last year and AMD had to settle for Polaris 10 and 11 performance mainstream / mainstream parts.

A year without a high end part is not easy and Fury is still on the top of the hill for AMD. The Dual version of Fury was almost non-existent and didn’t do much in the market.

We want to address one elephant in the room called HBM 2 memory. Vega or let’s call it Radeon RX needs two stacks of HBM 2 memory each having 4GB memory.
