I do quite like the differentiation in nomenclature. A bit of space between the numbers and to those who know a bit about the products, you can even tell from the name how much they differ. Not like between 70 and 80 - or 80 and 95, which are completely meaningless. I just hope they keep to this scheme, if it is a scheme after all.http://wccftech.com/amd-preparing-l...raphics-cards-gpu-passes-final-certification/
Uuuh, Vega 11 will have HBM2 as well according to the rumour. Was not expecting that at all.
The rumoured naming seems a bit weird tough, Vega 32 and Vega 28. Am I the only one thinking that Vega naming is a bit lackluster even if clear?

Might Radeon be used only for the lower GPU's and APU's, as I guess of recent times they are seen as a poor relation to the GeForce and GTX brands. Establish Vega as the new high end, similar to what Intel did when they dropped Pentium and introduced Core after the NetBurst/ Pentium D troubles, to be retained as a familiar but lower level brand?
Vega 32 and 28 simply means 32 and 28 NCUs respectively. Just like Raven Ridge's embedded GPUs are apparently called Vega 8/10/11.
Those are round numbers that are indicative of performance. I like this (name of architecture + 2-digit performance number) better than 3 numbers + suffix, where the first number didn't even dictate the generation and features (I'm looking at you, Pitcairn-based 300 series).
Maybe, I'm just thinking out loud so to speak. Maybe we'll be seeing Navi products branded as RX Navi 64, RX Vega2 64 or even RX Vega 128 next year?So Navi GPUs would be branded as Vega as well? They could have started going that path when they introduced Fury though.
Their current naming scheme looks like "RX (gaming) Vega (uArch name) 64 (nCU number). Assuming Navi will keep it, it'll be something like "RX Navi 64".Maybe, I'm just thinking out loud so to speak.

Always a silly argument. Highly likely different programmers/team for things like Crossfire compared to working with primitives.
Who knows? They'll find a way (maybe).Assuming they wont be able to do more with less nCUs.
Otherwise how is someone to know a RX Vega 64 is less performant than a RX Navi 56?
The same way people found out the GTX 280 was more powerful than the 9800 GTX (both launched within 2 months), or how the R9 290X was more powerful than the HD7970: the older models are priced progressively lower while they're phased out from the markets.Otherwise how is someone to know a RX Vega 64 is less performant than a RX Navi 56?
