AMD launches Radeon Vega Frontier Edition for $999

"AMD Launches the World’s Fastest Graphics Card for Machine Learning Development and Advanced Visualization Workloads, Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, Available Now"

Is this what Tesla Volta is to Nvidia?

Depends what you mean by that. You mean in technology? no, I doubt it. It's probably more comparable to Pascal.

I mean what sort of market segment specifically? Seems to be made for heavy rendering duties and the like to me.

It's a pro card yeah. Not intended for gaming.

That much I knew I just wasn't sure if it was for deep learning otherwise whatever else. Anyway, it seems to do well in rendering!

Another GeekBench entry found just now:

Coffee Lake-U / Cannon Lake-U Geekbench 3 Score

https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/8393354

The very first 14nm++ CFL-U results, quite a bit early for a product launching in 2018. Apparently there's a dual-core SKU as well, not only quad-cores - though both should pack GT3e graphics (Iris Plus 740/750). Base clock is up by 800 MHz (32%) compared to Core i7-7660U (assuming it's 15W).

Edit: BIOS suggests it could be Cannon Lake-U (Intel Corporation CNLSFWR1.R00.X086.D00.1705141926). If that's the case, 3.3 GHz is a nice bump from Core i7-7600U (2.8 GHz) as well, not bad for their first 10 nm implementation.

Der8auer has released a scathing video detailing the poor VRM and power delivery on all current x299 boards and he recommends buying no current x299 boards. He lays the blame partly with Intel and with the board vendors. He says no main boards are capable of overclocking with only an 8 pin power. He goes in to extensive detail about the extreme temps that the VRMs on boards from all vendors were getting to during testing which was causing CPU's to clock down and throttle. He also says if you want to buy a skylake x board from overclocking you should wait at least a month or even two

Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Der8auer ?

 

[Damien c]

I think it's pronounced "DER BOW(like bow before me) ER"

 

[Tolemac]

I think it's pronounced "DER BOW(like bow before me) ER"

nope "Der-eight-auer"

Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Der8auer ?

I replace the 8 witha B. Der-Bau-er

 

[Dicehunter]

nope "Der-eight-auer"

No it is actually Der Bauer, Phonetically it is "Derr-boww-err", Which translates to "The Builder", Even says as much on his employee page of his employer, Caseking.

PCPER live testing of the Vega Frontier Edition, REALLY not looking good so far, Yes yes I know it's not a gaming card but the results are horrible, Worse than a 1080.

Unigine Heaven (Ultra, 25x14)

GTX 1080 Ti - 116FPS

GTX 1080 - 81FPS

Vega Frontier Edition - 64FPS

I love how you acknowledge it's not for gaming but then go on to say it's horrible for gaming...
I really don't understand why everybody is so focused on this.

Same amount of cores in the RX version, Same actual cores in the RX version, So the difference won't be massive between this and the RX version, This just gives a sneak peak at what RX may well be like.
