"Radeon VII"

Not Vega 2, it's Radeon 7.
7nm.

60CUs
16GB HBM2 - 1TB/s (quad-stack)

Compared to Vega 64:
+35% on BF5 DX12
+25% on Fortnite
+42% on Strange Brigade Vulkan


So it's a GTX 1080 Ti / RTX 2080 competitor.
 
60 CUs
1,8 GHz
+25% perf
16 GB HBM
1 TB/s BW

What's the target?

a moment later: RTX 2080 is the target
 
Yup, they just showed comparisons with the RTX 2080.
 
Looks very nice. Price point 499 US$? edit: just officially announced: 699 US-$, Feb 7th.
Interestingly, Su talked about Async Compute, Rapid Packed Math and Shader Intrinsics as new Vega features being used already by developers. Not mentioning more technical thingies may be due to the intended LV audience.

I haven't seen anything about price yet.

$500 sounds too low, considering that's at the level of a RTX 2070.
 
$699, available February 7
Bundles Resident Evil 2, The Division 2 and Devil May Cry.
 
Supposedly comes with the following games:
"Devil may cry 5"
"The Division 2"
and then 1 more i forgot about.
 
$700 for a 16Gb HBM2 GPU? It's a good price, can't be much profit there for such a beast but it's not as if they could price it any higher.
Can't be much profit on a $700 card with a 330mm^2 chip?

How much do people think HBM2 costs nowadays? $100 per 4GB stack?


I think people are confusing what is a perfectly reasonable profit margin with the ridiculously high margins that Intel and nvidia managed to have during the latest years due to lack of competition.
 
New AMD still seems to be behind in terms of architectural performance. Their 7nm chip is matching a 2080(12nm). Nividia 7nm's chips will probably leap well ahead again...

Architecturally, yes.
Though there's been some news about nvidia only jumping to 7nm when Samsung adopts EUV, and that would push the RTX successors to 2020. That would put them launching a quarter after Navi.

Clearly, but NVIDIA's 7nm chips will compete against Navi, not Radeon VII, so who knows where AMD will be architecturally by then.
 
The question is wtf does the +62% OpenCL perf means given that the Blender (+27%), Davinci (+15%) and Adobe Premier (+29%) are actually all OpenCL based...

Edit: it's apparently LuxMark.. Meh..
