AMD today unleashed the first product based on its highly anticipated “Vega” graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture: Radeon Vega Frontier Edition.... AMD Unleashes its Radeon Vega Frontier Edition
It's pretty standard in those kind of workloads because the threads are completely independent. http://images.nvidia.com/content/te...Scaling-Dsktp-Feb17-RGB-580x282px-fnl-WEB.png
Though as it turns out it's from a test in one software. (EDIT: Not exactly scaling either, just faster rendering time though the two could be connected.) http://pro.radeon.com/en-us/product/radeon-vega-frontier-edition/#driver-download "Software and performance" -> "Visualization" (EDIT: And a Radeon plugin for said software specifically.)
I admit... after all this waiting, getting PR talk instead of benchmarks is somewhat upsetting Its been a while since someone showed this little confidence for their own product. Even Fury Pro Duo was sampled to selected few for some kind of benchmarking
Anandtech basically confirmed that reviewers aren't getting samples. Hilbert can you confirm this? If so it's kind of disappointing.
From a business perspective, I understand you wouldn't be interested in having this card reviewed for gamers. As a gamer, when is AMD expecting to put the product out for consumers already?
You can pre-order the FE at newegg. As for gaming edition. I think they said by the need of next month.
Seeing a blue AMD product feels wrong to my eyeballs.... I know marketing firms like to constantly change things, but I still prefer team red to stay red.
