AMD Radeon RX Vega for gaming will be unveiled at Computex 2017

Since the official unveiling of AMD’s upcoming graphics architecture Vega, the company has insisted that it be launched during the second quarter of the year. The company keeps its promise and recently announced that the launch will take place in June, but only in the form of Frontier Edition aimed at professional users.

AMD also confirmed that the RX Vega for gaming will be delayed and launched later in the year. In a response to a user on Reddit, however, the company’s graphics manager Raja Koduri says that they give a first look at RX Vega for games during this year’s edition of Computex.

We’ll be showing Radeon RX Vega off at Computex, but it won’t be on store shelves that week. We know how eager you are to get your hands on Radeon RX Vega, and we’re working extremely hard to bring you a graphics card that you’ll be incredibly proud to own.

This becomes a so-called soft launch, which means that the new models will not be available for purchase in stores at the same time as they are displayed. According to Koduri, the delay is due to the fact that it takes a long time to develop products with new and advanced technology such as HBM2 memory.

When it comes to other specifications, the graphics circuit has 64 computing units according to the architecture Next-Generation Compute Unit (NCU) for 4,096 stream processors. For the top model in the RX Vega family, the clock frequency for these is expected to be around 1,600 MHz.
