AMD continues with important problems, since the AMD RX Vega based on Vega 10 do not finish arriving and the mid-range, based on Vega 11 would arrive at the end of 2017 or early 2018.

We do not know the reasons, but the AMD RX Vega do not finish arriving and everything indicates that the problems with this graphics card continue. AMD has not yet introduced a Vega-based graphics card for gaming, but a professional one. AMD has summoned us to the event that will be held between July 30 to August 3, called SIGGRAPH 2017 and where Vega will be presented and where data from this graph will be given, but as we already anticipated exclusively, AMD RX Vega will not reach the market until the end of September.

We must add to this factor that Vega 10, which is the name of the GPU, is a great unknown, of which we do not have a frequency, consumption or performance data, to put it clearly, we only have rumors and speculations, caused by AMD, which is hiding gaming graphics in an incomprehensible way. The most ridiculous point was when Raja Koduri at Capsaicin & Cream, an event advertised by AMD with great fanfare, simply revealed a T-shirt. Basically, this is a summary of what we know, well, what we don't know, because knowing, rather little to say nothing.

According to the German medium PCGamesHardwareInitially from Vega we will see the reference models, no custom models, imitating what happened with Polaris and the RX 480 models, which took about two months to see a custom model. This would be consistent with the data we have, since the sources we handle confirm that they still do not have an RX Vega graph to work on and they hope to release them at the end of September and the beginning of October, which would take two months from the launch. from a reference Vega until the arrival of a customized model by manufacturers. This was not due to Vega-based silicon shortage issues, but rather a shortage of HBM2 memories.

The first batch is the Vega 10, high-end graphics, while the mid-range, the Vega 11, would move at the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018, according to the data handled by PCGHW. All this adds up to a problem for AMD, since they would more or less compete on par with NVIDIA Pascal, but we must remember that NVIDIA Volta arrived earlier than expected, possibly between September and November, although we cannot specify anything, because we do not have official confirmations. in this regard, although we are already consulting our sources and gathering data on upcoming NVIDIA solutions.

I have to say, on a personal level, hopefully AMD launches a good Vega product and as soon as possible, what's more, hopefully it will be competitive with Volta, because in the end, that will have repercussions in a price war, since, to be honest, NVIDIA is alone in the high-end range and you are free to put the price you consider, since the RX 580 unfortunately compete with the GTX 1060 in performance, but in consumption they are on par with the GTX 1080.

EXCLUSIVE: AMD VEGA FOR GAMING WILL NOT REACH THE MARKET UNTIL SEPTEMBER, AS SOON

It is a shame what happens to AMD and right now, I consider that, to battle in processors with Intel, both in gaming processors (to name them in some way), as an extreme and enthusiastic range, as well as the RX 500 Series and the Vega that they do not finish coming out, it can be a problem, trying to do more than it should at the moment, although at an ideal moment, it should compete in all segments, but the moment is far from ideal.
