The rumours about the RX Vega being 2+ months away are false

A lot of rumours have been spreading surrounding the launch of AMD's gaming oriented RX Vega, some of which need to be addressed. Some have reported that AMD's Lisa Su has stated that the RX Vega's launch is "months away" from their Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which is simply not true.

This misunderstanding stems from a recent AMD webcast, where AMD's CEO said the following. Many have misheard and misreported this as a statement that the RX Vega would not release for 2+ month, though as you can see below no such thing was said.

Here is a statement that Vega will launch across all market segments within the "next couple of months" but also that the RX Vega "enthusiast gaming platform" would release shortly after the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition, which releases in late June.

Frontier Edition will ship with 16GB of HBM2 towards the latter half of June. You will see the enthusiast gaming platform, the machine learning platform and the professional graphics platform very soon thereafter. And so, we will be launching Vega across all the market segments over the next couple of months.





Those who have misunderstood this statement have reported that the RX Vega would release two months or over after the Vega Frontier Edition, showing a great deal of impatience and lack of source verification from certain websites and blogs. To many being first is a lot more important than being right, which is a sad state of affairs.

Anyone who wishes to learn more about Vega will need to wait for Computex, where AMD plans on holding a press conference on May 31st. This is less than 10 days away, so we urge AMD fans to be patient and to wait for more information to become available.

You can join the discussion on the RX Vega on the OC3D Forums.
