We've been hearing about RX Vega leaks for a few months now but it looks like we are finally starting to get into more specific details surrounding the GPU. This week, a benchmark database entry for what appears to be an AMD RX Vega engineering sample revision leaked onto the web, confirming several key specs about the upcoming GPU, including 8GB of HBM2 and 64 Compute Units.
RX Vega is set to be AMD's answer to Nvidia's high-end graphics lineup, including the GTX 1080 and potentially the newly released GTX 1080Ti. The leak in this instance occurred over on the SiSoft benchmark database, listing an AMD 687F:C3 device ID. In previous leaks we have seen a similar 687F:C1 device ID, which was previously confirmed to be a Vega GPU. The change from C1 to C3 could mean multiple Vega versions, or this could perhaps just be an updated engineering sample.
This leak confirms that the RX Vega has an 8GB 2048-bit memory configuration, which as Videocardz points out, means it has two HBM2 4GB stacks. Aside from that, the leak also confirms 4096 Stream Processors/64 Compute Units.
Aside from that though, we don't have much more information to go off of. RX Vega appears to remain on track for Q2 2017, which we are just about to enter in a couple of weeks time so hopefully we will start to hear more in the coming weeks.
KitGuru Says: We are just about to enter Q2 so AMD's RX Vega isn't too far away at this point. Are any of you holding off on upgrading to see what AMD has up its sleeve? I'm quite excited to see what Vega brings to the table, especially after having Pascal dominate the market for so long.
Looks interesting thanks for the leaked info.
Yup, holding off until i can see 1080ti and Vega side by side. Then I’ll buy the best bang for buck between the 2 of them.
Come on AMD get back your marketshare!!!
you mean like this ?

Yip, i think 599 if its faster than 1080 and slower than 1080 TI
Or they could blow out the 1080 at 399 price point, if they are only a little faster than a 1080
^^^ What he said 😉
Depends on performance. If it is ~10% faster than 1080 then i’d hope for $450 price. If its more than 20% then they can charge $550-$600. If they surprise us with trading blows with a 1080ti then $650 is fine. Either way i hope they release something faster than GTX1070 at ~$300 since that’s how much money i wanna spend lol.
False! Skylake-X/E was pushed to August in January. Please look it up!
Ah! Well thank you for the tip!
Still, an X299/Vega machine is in my future! I am sure of that!
It will beat the 1080, but not the Ti.
