Next Generation Radeon Flagship With Vega 10 Architecture Will Be Coming in 1H 2022 - AMD Confirms

The official roadmap present on file in the documents presented to investors reveals that Vega GPUs volition be landing sometime in the first half of 2022.

A few weeks ago there was some rumbling on the rumor mill that the Vega lineup has really been pushed forward to launch quondam in October this yr. However, this is something that has been put to rest by AMD - which is kind of ironic, because the rumor itself stemmed from teases by officials from AMD. The company has clarified in its roadmap revealed to investors that the Vega architecture will launch for the enthusiast market quondam in the kickoff half of 2022.

Official roadmap confirms Vega based, 14nm FinFET flagship will not be landing this year

The commencement half of 2022 ways that the time-frame AMD has given for the architecture lies anywhere between Jan 2022 to June 2022. This likewise ways that AMD'due south synergy betwixt its product portfolio stands to be maximized in the first half of 2022 because Zen based x86 CPUs for the enthusiast marketplace will also be shipping in volume during this time frame. Zen processors and Vega GPUs can trigger a new upgrade cycle in the enthusiast marketplace and for followers of the cerise camp.

Chris Hook recently posted a teaser on his folio and while he fabricated no declaration of any verbal engagement of launch, many of us took information technology to mean that the launch might be happening sooner than expected. The photo he posted on his facebook folio shows what looks like a large industrial space that's in desperate need of "renovations" every bit Chris put it. He antiseptic that this was going to exist the launch venue of Vega 10. It is besides worth mentioning that AMD has in the past teased evolution milestones of Vega 10.

Earlier we become any further at that place is one affair that I would like to signal out. Even though this is the roadmap as it currently stands, there is null stopping AMD from actually pushing forrard the release date of Vega (in an try to surprise the press) if it really wants to and is of grade in a position to exercise so. The Vega GPU is going to the commencement loftier end GPU on the finFET platform (from AMD) and the true successor to Fiji. According to what nosotros know then far the process is going to be 14nm FinFET GlobalFoundries - although this can change as well in the future.

This also has interesting ramifications for when we can expect the GTX 1080 Ti from Nvidia. They accept already revealed the GTX 1080 graphics card and with no AMD competitor in sight they will take more or less a free run at the highest performing unmarried graphics bill of fare on the market. This could also means that we might not exist seeing the GTX 1080 Ti any time soon (considering the Ti will swallow into TITAN sales and the GPU manufacturer will have no incentive to release the card and so soon).
