Why would they? Vega is almost a year late, given that it should have launched together with Pascal. The 1080 Ti will neutralise Vega 10. AMD will not rush out Vega 20 in order not to undercut their Vega 10 buyers. Why would NV, in such a scenario, destroy their business by prematurely...

So Volta for consumers would be in 2018. If Vega is indeed on 16 nm this year, we could see a 7 nm refresh next year for Vega. The question is if NV will go for 7 nm on Volta in 2018. If Vega is somewhat weaker than big fat Pascal, then it would give more room to NV to just an uarch update and...

A few years from now, if recent history is a guide ;)

I'm laughing as I am reading all this flaming. You people take yourselves way too seriously. It's just a message board. Nobody will remember what you wrote 48 hours from now.

This last picture is amazing in its visual fidelity.

Give us an update of your impressions once you have all three.

If one had to choose, I would have agreed with you. It will increase the pressure on GPU performance but it will be a worthy target to strive for. OTOH, I just feel HDR should be standard at *all* resolutions as fast as possible.

If Zen is in it, then it is a whole new ballgame. The difference between that and PS4Pro will go from substantial to massive.

Good points, Razor. Either way, I still think it is likely that they will release Vega 10 in early 2017, but the big GPU, because the high-end is bleeding for them. They might not do a refresh of Vega 10 for the reasons you mentioned. Vega 11 would likely be launched at the same time of Pascal...

I don't think both chips will be out by Q1 2017. It is more likely that they release Vega 10 by early Q1 2017, because AMD lacks firepower in the high-end. NV will likely release their Pascal refresh during Computex, and that would be a good time for AMD to answer in kind with Vega 11. They...

Safe to assume that it is ignorance. Same. I am pro-VR in the long run, but there is limited runway with it on PC as of now. I think consoles will be the first massmarket. Smartphones will simply be too weak for too long to really matter for most stuff, at least interactive stuff. Passive...

A lot of companies are doing their custom stuff as well, like google and their TPU custom chip.

Hawaii wasn't a bad example of how to make a GPU. It was poorly released, however, a tradition that AMD continued with the flop that was Fury X. It didn't have enough supply and its reference coolers were atrocious. If it was, then AMD wouldn't have had dropped market share during this period.
