AMD Vega chip shown in the photo with all the data that it gives us (Scott Wasson confirms that this image is false)
During the #Computex one of the topics that was most expected and that most disappointed has been AMD Vega, because it is true that although we have been able to know enough data about the Vega Frontiers Edition, we have not discovered anything new about the models for gaming and home PCs, apart from once again lagging behind, nothing new but more than one has surprised us again.
However, a matter of minutes ago we could see the first public-facing photo on the die of an AMD Vega. This die is divided into 8 clusters, each one containing 8 new generation computing units. In turn, each of the computing units will be made up of 64 Stream Processors, which gives us a total of 4096 FP32 cores.
Regarding the size of this, the font has not wanted to specify exactly, however from the page and the most experienced users we have come to the conclusion that it will be between 480 and 490 mm2, This seems to be the most logical since it corresponds to what our dear Raja Koduri commented in his day, that the dimensions of this would be below 500mm2.
#AMDVega: Why hasn't the AMD RX Vega gaming graphics card been released yet?
At first it would seem that there is no difference between the computing units of this new generation and those of the previous one, however these NCUs that also have a 16-bit processing capacity have managed to double their power. It should be noted that the die has been listed as GPA022GA2656, which does not correspond to the nomeclature used by SK Hynix, that is why although it is not clear to us who has been able to manufacture it, the most logical candidate for this position is the South Korean giant , we talk about Samsung.
UPGRADE
Scott Wasson, one of the managers of Radeon Technology Group has said that the image of the supposed DIE of an AMD Vega is false. We have echoed this information because it appeared in a medium that in theory contrasts the information. This happens due to the lack of information and data near Vega, a GPU that we know very little about and about which AMD is not giving real and reliable data.

At least it's a photo and not another powerpoint ...
It is false
Hahahahahahaha I'm not even surprised anymore. I hope at least that Vega is as decent as Ryzen, what is clear is that with the "launch" they are covering themselves in glory again...
The problem is that there is so little information regarding Vega that any information that may come out comes in as if it were real, which is a problem that AMD is promoting.

PS: Thanks for blocking me in the other account without giving any reason, I imagine it was for saying that Mr. Roberto Solé is an NVIDIA fanboy, I was unaware that this was against your terms of use.
Impressive: The media, today, give feedback on anything that 'other' has published. Then if it is false, wrong, etc. No problem, they update indicating that it is false and to sleep soundly. But let's see, what is the use of publishing something that later turns out to indicate that those who have published it have fallen for the hoax. It is not necessary to give feedback on an insert of El mundo Today to make a fool of yourself, but it is because it gives the feeling that this type of attitude fits you as if it were normal, or positive for the publication, or the author of it. Every time it happens, it's as if a goal is scored by the squad and the goalkeeper is looking for a coin in the grass.
Better still, in the writing of the 'news', it is directly mentioned that the alleged medium that is shot' does contrast (s) the sources, the news, etc. We are going what should be in the journalistic nature since you want to tell something to those who do not know it, so that they find out (and so that you do not make a fool of yourself, if possible, too).
What is of fireworks now, is that, instead of sticking to what really happens: that it is nothing else that you post like crazy 'I don't know what', without having a fucking idea (but whoever says it is usually a reliable source , trustworthy, which does what we do not do ... sometimes), then it turns out that the information has been taken from the armpit of nose who and has scammed you all, it ends up indicating that what happens is that AMD gives a lot, little or no information. And that, for this reason, apparently, in the same way that I justify that I publish something to the tun-tún and then I recoil, I say that it is a lie and I put my chest out (like the fools), if there is nothing to say about Vega, then we will we invented, because apparently AMD is in the world to provide you with information, but not the same information that the rest of the world has provided, no. Apparently they have to give you more. News a day? Two?
You do not have to be a lynx to visualize what AMD has ahead in the following months and that it is not interested or trampling one line with others (mikes, graphics, products for enthusiasts, products for servers) as well as the way in which it is He is developing the chess game with his rivals in which it may or may not suit them to be the one who calls the shots or the one who responds to the opponent's move.
In this way, every time the insertion on duty appears ranting why we do not know such, or we do not know Easter ... the 'toy' level of the medium that is treating the situation and what is happening is evident. You have to be an idiot, and sorry, but it is the sad reality, to suppose that it is intelligent to provide the real characteristics with which they are going to try to catch you with your pants off, with stock up to the bars, the price, the availability and the date. Sure yeah, sweetie. Any more facilities for Intel / Nvidia? There is no mischief like in the rest of the products, market, competition of our planet? Can you give any explanation about this?
Isn't it normal, expected and predictable that AMD tries to hide how far it has really gone to try to scratch its competition in the play? Apparently not, you have to telegraph it in advance and in full detail. Give months of 'advantage' to be cushioned or disarmed with new products, new ranges or changes in prices. Or boy, haven't we seen such things lately?
Intel annoys itself and removes the I9 (it may be that it did not have them ready, but unless it had no choice, it would never remove it because it was lined with the I7, the XE and on the other hand the Xeon). Of course, the stupid reading of the medium that does not find out, piss and says that it rains, is that the I9 destroy the Ryzen. Bang, bang, bang… the shareholders are celebrating that the time has finally come to take out the I9s and say goodbye in the next Q to a portion of the generous profit margin that the separate sales of I7's XE or Xeones were giving. Separately. Hardly (impossible) a single solution could be used for the 2 things they cover. Now with I9, and its price much lower than the fat I7XE and Xeons, we have 1 way and cheaper, instead of 2 different ones, incompatible and involving more independent and incompatible components: more dough. more margin.
Intel lowers the prices of mikes after the launch of Ryzen. Wow, they have been delighted with life, the balls. Idiot reading: Intel mics keep slapping Ryzen. Yes yes. Tomorrow they are going to raise them again to the price of 6 months ago, or what the hell. They will raise them 25% more than the price they had ... because the launch of Ryzen has already passed and they are cool. Overall, it all comes down to: how often does the child on duty put them, the number of cores or threads ... freaks. Some explanation leaving aside the technicalities, the benchmarks and the comparisons of what this really means in reality, which in case someone does not know, is: what were you selling? to as? and now? What do you sell? and how much? Because something has had to happen and does happen, for the change to have occurred. Do not divert attention to whether now the Intel logo is purple or yellow ... you get lost with a seagull on the beach. Cone.
