As the days to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2018 are coming near, the tension in GPU market is increasing. Everybody is ready for the war between Nvidia and AMD. As the Nvidia’s highly awaited Geforce 11 series of graphics cards that are based on Turing chips are all set to take on the gaming market this summers. AMD on the other is not coming slow. They are ready for the battle against Nvidia’s 11 series with the new AMD Vega 20. The matter of fact is, they already got their 7nm Vega GPUs up and running for the tests at this very moment, as the company’s CEO Lisa Su said.
AMD Vega 20 confirmed to use AI instructions:

AMD Vega 20 is aimed squarely at Nvidia’s Volta V100 accelerator to address the growing AI and machine learning markets Although AMD didn’t get into the detailed specifications of the new up coming AMD Vega 20. We have been hearing about the release of their top-end Vega chips for quite a while now but confirmations came this year.
AMD Vega 20 Specifications:
AMD will be shrinking Vega for 14-nano-meter to 7-nano-meter this year. This Radeon Vega have much more HBM2 on board making it a professional graphics card. Before this the Radeon Vega GPUs were having 16GB of HBM2, but AMD will add a 16GB of HBM2 on this shrinked 7nm GPU summing up to a total of 32GB of HBM2. It will have upto 1TB/sec of memory bandwidth on a 4096 bit memory bus having clock speed of 1250 MHz.
AMD Vega 20 Release Data and Price:
Rumors are that AMD is going to launch AMD Vega 20 in Computex 2018. We don’t know what its going to worth but surely it is going to be one of the most expensive GPU by AMD.
