Multiple benchmarks for the AMD Radeon RX Vega have been spotted and they are beyond impressive. Following the Sunnyvale chipmaker's disruption of the CPU market, these monstrous GPUs could shake the gaming market as well and topple down Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
Initially spotted by Videocardz.com, multiple benchmarks from Compubench and SiSoft Sandra confirmed the device's core specifications. According to the leak, the upcoming AMD Radeon RX Vega will have at its core 4096 stream processors with 8GB of HBM on a 2048-bit memory configuration.
Its HBM memory type is still unknown as of this writing. But it could be HBM2, meaning it could have 2 HBM2 stacks with 1GB each and 1024-bit each.
With an internal code name of GFX9, its device ID is 687F:C3. And the GPU was stated to have been manufactured on the 14nm FinFET node. This means that these chips are primarily based on GlobalFoundries, according to WCCFTech.
AMD Radeon RX Vega's TDP is slated to be around 225W, compared with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 250W. Also, an impressive performance from the device has also been teased in the SiSoft benchmark. It showed 9414Mpix/s of half-float GP compute performance, reports tweaktown. Compared with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, AMD is around 1863pix/s faster.
Now, in terms of double-float GP compute performance, this version has 806Mpix/s compared with Nvidia's GTX 1080 with its 565Mpix/s. AMD still dominated.
AMD Radeon RX Vega will be the Sunnyvale chipmaker's high-end GPU for this year. These will be offered from entry level to enthusiast grade. And it set to rival the recently unveiled Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, as what the company did with the recent unveiling of AMD Ryzen CPUs to Intel's processors.
How AMD will penetrate fully the 4K gaming market it yet to be seen. And many are indeed looking forward to the unveiling of their AMD Radeon RX Vega and how it would fair with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080.
