AMD in their recent quarterly financial report has mentioned that the upcoming Radeon Vega chips will be unveiled within the next two months according to their CEO Dr. Lisa Su. The manufacturer is yet to release the lowest-end budget segment Ryzen R3 Processor for the markets.
On the other side, partner boards for AMD's AM4 chips are not really ready yet leading to a huge concern for AMD. Hence, it makes perfect sense for the company to release a new set of AMD Vega chips in June this year. A report from WCCFtech reveals that initial benchmarks for the latest AMD cards have surfaced on popular graphical benchmark tool called 3DMark.
The entry of the card is still mentioned as 'unlisted' confirming to be the new cards. Another card with an AMD Vega device ID has been further validated when it was tested with Doom Vulkan. The report mentions that the base clock for the card on the test bench was clocked at 1200mHz. The prototype card has successfully managed to generate a score of 5721 in the TimeSpy benchmark.
Other details indicate that the new AMD Vega graphics card will be bundled with Quake Champions as a promotional offer. With a power consumption of 225w of power, the new chips will be based on HBM2 technology with a bandwidth of 512GB/s.
The prototype AMD Vega card has been tested with the latest Ryzen R7 1700x top of the line CPU from the same manufacturer. Meanwhile, details from Segment Next reveal that the new chips aren't really at par with cards like the premium models from Nvidia like the GTX 1080 and flagship cards like the GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan Xp where both of them was released into the markets in the last couple of months.
The image of all cards being benchmarked has listed the new AMD Vega entry below the aforementioned cards likely hinting that AMD is primarily targeting users who're looking at graphics cards around a price of $400. Hence, for those people potentially looking at buying the GTX 1070, it is sane to wait for a couple of months to see if the new cards actually perform better than Nvidia's chips since early benchmarks are a bit skeptical.
