AMD presents the AMD Radeon Instinct MI25, which has a Vega 10 GPU, offering great performance, although the TDP of this graphics card is 300W, much more than expected.

We are all waiting like rain for the AMD Vega, especially now would be a good time to launch it because there are no AMD RX 580/570 graphics cards on the market. While these arrive and do not arrive, AMD has made a new presentation, but in this case not intended for the world of gaming, but for the professional sector, such as the Radeon Instinct MI25, in addition to two other models. We focus on the AMD Radeon Instinct MI25, because it integrates a Vega 10 GPU, intended in this case for deep learning.

This new AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 graphics card has a Vega 10 silicon that offers a power in FP32 of 12.3TFLOPs and in FP16 it offers a power of 24.6TFOPs, which offers 60% more performance compared to the NVIDIA Titan X Pascal . The Silicon Vega 10 has a total of 4096 Stream Processors included in 64 Compute Units and this graphics card works at a frequency that can reach up to 1500MHz. This MI25 has 16GB HBM2 so as not to cut the excellent performance with a lower quality memory, offering these a bandwidth of 484GB / s. The TDP of the Mi25 is 300W, which points to a high consumption of Vega.

We must emphasize that according to the data we handle, the AMD RX Vega would not arrive until the end of September, although there are rumors that point to the first half of August. We must emphasize that this graphics card had to be seen at CES 2017 and did not appear, at the Capsaicin & Cream event, where it should be presented, either. It was not seen at the AMD event for potential investors and at Computex it has not been seen either. It has been said that they will be seen at SIGGRAPH 2017, but from there to presenting them in society, to reaching the market, there is a piece.

The thing is that AMD has a luxury opportunity to kick in the market, since there are no Polaris graphics and at the moment we do not know when they will be available on the market again, the NVIDIA due to mining, are starting to rise in price , because they are being sold in mass, so, better time for AMD to sell graphics like hotcakes, we can't think of, realistically. Is AMD wasting the opportunity to cash in on the beast thanks to mining?
