AMD Vega 10 internal slides leak revealing GPU clock speeds

[WYP]

Internal slides for AMD's Vega architecture have leaked, revealing at least 12TFLOPs of compute performance and clock speeds that are over 1500MHz.



Read more on AMD's Vega GPU clock speed calculations.

I wonder what the high clock speeds mean for overclocking. Will Vega be as competent as Polaris or will it be as poopy as Fiji?

 

[NeverBackDown]

Yep I was right again. 16GB is the top gpu. Not the 8GB.
And pretty sure everyone got the clock speed right. Based off that formula and we guessed the core count long ago

Interesting specs for sure! Exciting!

Vega 10 could be split between a 8GB cut down version and a 16GB full fat version. Maybe the demo GPU we've been seeing is a cut down version—hence the slightly below expectation performance and 8GB listed VRAM.

Well, looks interesting at least. 16gb of the full fat version would be awsome!

Polaris is not exactly great for overclocking. Vega will be worse due to the obligatory kitchen sink IMO.

Maybe they'll be already near their max rolling out of the factory?

I know? I'm just saying that the top GPU is a 16GB version? You're saying what I am implying^_^

Yup. That is what Async gets you, more heat and lower clocks. Maybe this time next year I will have better things to say about it but I still feel AMD should have laid off the kitchen sink and gone for balls out clock speed like Nvidia did from Kepler onward.

Async has nothing to do with it and clock speed is not everything.
Iirc, Pascal and Maxwell IPC are pretty close, but the clockspeeds are much higher for Pascal. That's when it's comparable, because it's similar architecture. But to compare against AMD? Doesn't make sense.for one architecture differences, and the fact the a 480 is equal to a 1060 yet it can be nearly 800mhz slower in some cases(2ghz vs 1.2)

It doesn't have to be great, really, just fun and not locked. The Fury line was locked for months, and when it was unlocked it was still dire. Although the 290 suffered from high temperatures, with a water block you could easily surpass a 290X with overclocks.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to presume you didn't know this. I was just agreeing by adding more.

It was only the reference and some of the AIB 290's that suffered from high temps fella my 290X Vapor X stays around 60C when gaming

Even with overclocks? 60°C is the lowest I've seen a 290X on air.

Max is 68C running Timespy @1150mhz +50mv and 1335 on the mem clock

Nice. My Fury gets hotter than that (it's quiet though) without any overclocks, and I have low ambient temps as I live in Ireland and I don't like to pay €1500 annually on oil.

You're on oil? damn man, you have my sympathies. We used to be on oil and ours was screwed and we spent nearly £3000 on oil one year.

I'm pretty warm-blooded and don't like being hot (I find it highly claustrophobic and causes my anxiety attacks to increase in severity and regularity). We usually spend around €1000 per year depending on the price of oil at the time. A few years back the price of a full tank went from about €600 to €900. It reverted back to around €600 a year or so later, though, fortunately. When I visit other people's homes, you walk in and it blasts you with the heat. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay twice what we do. It's not necessary, IMO—though our house can be susceptible to mold developing and I get colds a lot throughout the Autumn and Winter months. I'm on my fourth cold this Autumn/Winter period alone, a record for me.

Also, during the summer we barely use the oil at all as we have solar panels. That heats the water for showers and washing the dishes. And when the sun isn't shining (which can be common in Ireland) we have immersion and oil as a last resort. We don't heat the radiators much during that time very much.
