AMD Vega 10 "RX 490" Specs leaked, 4096 GCN 5.0 Cores & 16GB HBM2

Leaks concerning AMD's Polaris graphics cards and their specifications have been consistently coming in over the by several weeks, signalling that we're getting ever closer to the immanent Radeon 400 series launch this summer. AMD has adult three unlike 14nm FinFET GPUs, vega x, Polaris 10 & Polaris 11. The specs of 2 of which take recently been leaked & today we're adding the 3rd to complete the list.

A listing of one AMD Polaris eleven graphics carte SKU that's been spotted on the Compubench database via videocardz. This database has played an instrumental role over the past several years in uncovering incredibly accurate information about next generation AMD graphics cards.

AMD'south entire Fury, 300 and 200 serial were leaked on this very same database and all the specifications that nosotros've learned from those listings about AMD GPUs over the past couple of years checked out. With that in heed, nosotros accept picayune dubiousness that today'due south leaked Polaris eleven specifications are accurate.

Despite 11 existence a larger number than 10, Polaris x is actually a larger, higher terminate GPU than Polaris xi. Chief Architect & caput of AMD's Radeon Technologies Grouping confirmed that the naming scheme is fourth dimension-based & Polaris ten had simply been designed earlier Polaris 11, hence the smaller numerical designation.

Polaris 10 is AMD'southward mid-range 14nm FinFET graphics flake, Polaris eleven is the smallest of the family unit and Vega 10 is the HBM2 powered loftier-end flagship 14nm GPU launching in 2022 to succeed the Fury lineup. It volition characteristic AMD's side by side generation Vega compages and volition be the company's kickoff GPU to characteristic second generation Loftier Bandwidth Memory.

Vega 10 To Succeed AMD'southward Flagship Fiji GPU & The R9 Fury Ten

We've learned that AMD is preparing a adjacent generation high-end GPU based make new GCN architecture meant to succeed the visitor's previous flagship R9 Fury 10. Vega 10'southward launch will come after the company's scroll-out of its mainstream Polaris RX 400 serial graphics cards this year and will feature a brand new graphics architecture according to to the LinkedIn profile of a leading AMD design engineer.

I should point out that the "RX 490" moniker is by no ways official and is simply a place holder until the card's announced.  AMD could opt to give the card an RX 500 series brand i.east. RX 590 or perhaps give it the Fury make name i.e. RX Fury Vega.

The GPU will feature second generation stacked High Bandwidth Retentiveness with up to 1 terabyte/southward of retentivity bandwidth, more than three times that of the GTX 1080. The GPU is configured with a whopping 4096 GCN 5.0 stream processors. In addition to the near 80% increment in raw compute horsepower compared to the RX 480 & Polaris 10, Vega 10 will deliver a huge jump in free energy effciency according to the company's latest roadmap.

The Cut Back Version of AMD'southward Polaris eleven GPU Has 16 Compute Units - 1024 GCN 4.0 Cores & A 128bit Retentivity Interface

So let'due south go straight to information technology. There are six different Polaris 11 SKUs, probable three for desktops and three for notebooks. The specifications that have leaked are for an SKU with the device ID 67FF which is the most cut back, lowest cease, Polaris xi SKU there is. This means that the full Polaris 11 GPU will have more than 1024 GCN cores.

This indicates that the total chip will likely have 1280 GCN cores and will be a replacement for AMD'due south Pitcairn GPU - 370, 270 & 7800 series cards -  in terms of pricing and market positioning. So it's very probable we're looking at the R9 470 here. The SKU in question likewise features a 128bit memory interface, all the same the memory capacity information is missing. Only 4GB and 2GB of GDDR5/X memory are two likely configurations for this GPU.

This is the third AMD 14nm FinFET GPU spec leak, prior to that we've seen the specifications for Polaris 10 & Vega 10 also leak online.

Polaris 11 Is The Aforementioned GPU That AMD Demoed Against The GTX 950 In December & Again At CES In January

Polaris xi was the very kickoff FinFET graphics chip in the world from either visitor, Nvidia or AMD,  to exist demoed publicly.  AMD offset demoed the chip to the press, including WCCF, back in December ahead of CES. AMD did it once again in January at CES and that was the very get-go public demo of the Polaris or in fact any loftier performance FinFET GPU.

The demo consisted of two identical systems one configured with Polaris eleven , R9 470 , and Nvidia's GTX 950 running Star Wars Battlefront at 10 frames per second. The Polaris 11 system in its entirety consumed 54W less than the GTX 950. Because that the GTX 950 on its ain pulls  ~95W on average under gaming workloads, Polaris 11 is essentially more than than twice every bit power efficient. Delivering the aforementioned performance at roughly forty watts. Which is less than half the power consumed past the GTX 950.

Raja Koduri, Senior Vice President and Chief Builder, Radeon Technologies Group, speaking with Venturebeat.com :

This is very early silicon, by the way. We take much more than performance optimization to do in the coming months. Only even in this early silicon, we're seeing numbers versus the best class on the competition running at a heavy workload, like Star Wars—The competing system consumes 140 watts. This is 86 watts. We believe we're several months ahead of this transition, peculiarly for the notebook and the mainstream market. The competition is talking about chips for cars and stuff, simply not the mainstream market.

AMD Polaris Graphics Cards Maintain Similar Cadre Counts To Their Predecessors With Significant Per Core Performance Gains

With all these leaks coming out we're get-go to get a much clearer picture of what AMD is doing with its next generation Polaris based graphics cards. All the leaks that we've seen so far for Vega x, Polaris 10 & Polaris 11 signal that AMD is configuring its next generation GPUs with similar Stream Processor counts as their Fiji, Hawaii & Pitcairn predecessors, the Fury,  R9 390 and R7 370 series.

The majority of the IP blocks in the graphics engine are new. Including a memory controller, for upcoming memory technologies, in addition to more capable and more power efficient compute units and geometry engine. The level 2 enshroud and the command processor have besides been updated. Beyond what AMD detailed in a higher place most the key features and the display/multimedia updates the company did not go into much particular virtually what exactly went into these new IP blocks. We were promised more information volition be revealed as we get closer to the release of Polaris graphics products.

The previous leak for the 2304 GCN cadre Polaris x - R9 490 - showed the card outperforming the GTX Titan Black and the GTX 980, despite a reported 800mhz clock speed. Since 14nm FinFET pushes frequencies way beyond what nosotros've seen with 28nm nosotros're likely looking at 1200Mhz+ clock speeds out of production Polaris chips. Based on the functioning we're seeing at 800mhz, that puts the cut downwards Polaris ten scrap that we've seen, a probable R9 490 candidate,  ahead of the R9 Fury X and GTX 980 Ti.

AMD has besides stated on the few occasions that information technology talked about Polaris that 4th generation GCN core are significantly more powerful than their predecessors, hence the tame stream processor counts we're saying.

Raja Koduri, Senior Vice President and Chief Architect, Radeon Technologies Grouping, speaking with Venturebeat.com :
We've redesigned many blocks in our cores. We've redesigned the main processor, a new geometry processor, a completely new quaternary-generation Graphics Core Side by side with a very high increment in performance .

AMD Launching Its Flagship "Vega" GPU Late 2022

Information technology's truthful that we volition have to wait until next twelvemonth for HBM2 GPUs from either Nvidia or AMD. Nvidia's GP104 powered GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards - not official names - are reportedly configured for GDDR5X. And there'southward virtually no take chances of neither Nvidia or AMD risking product of big GPUs similar GP100 or Vega 10 this early on in the nodes' lifecycles. Neither 16nm or 14nm volition be mature plenty for large GPU launches this twelvemonth. This is all bold HBM2 product has already sufficiently ramped upward, which hasn't yet.

We've seen this highlighted at Nvidia'southward GTC 2022 keynote during the GP100 powered TESLA P100 announcement. The visitor revealed that it doesn't expect to see products based on its P100 accelerator aircraft before Q1 2022.

Despite that, what we're getting this twelvemonth is nevertheless going to deliver a very pregnant jump in functioning, performance per watt and performance per dollar. This is thanks to the much needed arrival of FinFET manufacturing technology as well as GDDR5X.

It'south non every day that we get GPUs with 2.5x meliorate perf/watt, in fact not ever. This is the biggest jump from one generation to the adjacent that nosotros have always seen. But it's not all about efficiency, Raja is also promising the "most revolutionary jump in performance then far".

Raja Koduri revealed at Capsaicin that AMD's focus with Polaris is all about giving gamers a "sweet" performance per dollar deal. And this is exactly what Polaris 10 and Polaris eleven volition exercise. AMD appear that Polaris graphics cards are going to be released mid 2022, this summer. AMD'southward CEO Lisa Su after elaborated farther, maxim that Polaris graphics cards will exist available on shelves and in notebooks earlier the back to school flavor this year.
