AMD Radeon RX Vega Specs Leaked In Linux Patch, Also Highlights DNA Of Raven Ridge
AMD has recently submitted the latest Linux graphics driver update and that’s what gave us all the detailed specifications of the Radeon RX Vega.
AMD has confirmed that its most awaited GPU Vega will launch in this quarter. As launch comes nears, we are hearing more and more about the AMD Radeon RX Vega. Just in, the detailed specs of the graphics card come from the official source.
AMD has recently submitted the latest Linux graphics driver update and that's what gave the detailed specifications of the upcoming Radeon RX Vega. Direct Rendering Manager Update was pushed to Linux and it included the comprehensive AMD Vega feature support to Linux.
According to Racing Junky, AMD Vega 10 will feature 64 next generation compute units and each of them contains 64 GCN stream processors. As per the Linux patch, there is a total of 4096 next generation GCN stream processors which are divided into four divisions and each makes up a single shader engine.
From the 64 compute units and 64 shader engines in AMD Radeon RX Vega, the user can reach the much-discussed 4096 stream processors Vega is said to feature. There are still quite a few questions about the chip design, including a rumored new direction in tile-based rendering that will save GPU processing power and make the chip more efficient than Fiji, as reported by Kit Guru.
According to Linux Patch, AMD Radeon RX Vega Every sp shader engine of the total 1024 have two Asynchronous Compute Units, one renders back end and 4 texture blocks. Each renders back end is made up of 16 render output units for 64 ROPs in total, while each texture block has 16 texture mapping unit for 256 TMUs in total. Also, 8 independent work threads are simultaneously supported by AMD Vega 10.
For the release date, AMD Radeon RX Vega still does not have the official launch date. However, it is widely presumed to be launched at Computex 2017 right at the end of May.
