AMD confirms that VEGA 20 GPU at 7 nm will arrive in 2018

Over the past few weeks, a lot of interest has been focused on the new 12nm RTX 20 graphics cards from NVIDIA, which promise 40% more performance than their predecessors. With its first Radeon VEGA 20 graphics cards at 7 nm, AMD does not seem to sit back and prepare for a “counter-attack”, although they will not focus on players but on the professional sector.

AMD President and CEO Lisa Su confirmed in an interview with Marketwatch that AMD is on track to launch the world’s first 7nm graphics cards this year. While the world’s first 7nm CPUs based on the next generation 64-bit Zen 2 x86 core are on their way to being released next year.

The new GPU looks like a processing beast, based on an improved iteration of the VEGA architecture presented last year. The new GPU supports AI commands and has four 8GB HBM2 memory stacks running on a 4096-bit memory interface for a total of 32GB of vRAM.

It is said that VEGA 20 is able to graphically calculate an incredible 20.9 TFLOPS. If so, it would be the first GPU in the world to reach this value, 25% higher than Turing.

At the moment, it is unclear whether there will be 7 nm graphics cards that are focused on VEGA-based video games or whether we will have to wait until the navigation generation to see them.

First of all, VEGA 20 will be used in the next Radeon Instinct graphics cards for professional applications.
