The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition card is now on sale
Price of $999, excluding fees, for the first Vega GPU based AMD video card and intended for professionals. The version with the liquid cooling system will arrive later in the third quarter.
AMD officially launched sales of its first GPU-based video card from the Vega family. We are talking about the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition model, which AMD offers in the market for professional users who need a workaround for their workstation graphics.
The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition card, based on air cooling system, is proposed by AMD at the official $ 999 US listed tax excluded. The version with the integrated liquid cooling system will be proposed by AMD later in the third quarter, with an official list of $1,499 always excluding taxes.
What are the technical features of this proposal? The Vega GPU used is a version of all 4,096 stream-enabled processors, for a clock frequency that AMD indicates as ” typical ” at 1,382 MHz and a boost clock rate of 1,600 MHz. For video memory, We find High-Bandwidth Memory 2 (HBM2) technology, with 16 Gbytes operating at a rate of 1.89 Gbps in combination with a 2,048 bit bus bandwidth; the resulting bandwidth is a maximum of 483 Gbytes per second.
All this results in very interesting speeds, with a peak value of 13.1 TFLOPS with single-precision and 26.2 TFLOPS processing with those half precision. As a reference, the Radeon Pro Duo card, based on two Polaris family of GPUs operating parallel to CrossFire technology, offers a data of 11.5 TFLOPS as the maximum peak in both single precision and half precision.
AMD confirms a TDP content within 300 Watts for the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition card; Display Connections are centered on 3 Port Display Ports 1.4 plus an HDMI. The card is, as said, the first based on GPU Vega to debut on the market; AMD anticipated that by the end of July, at Siggraph, it will announce its own Radeon RX Vega cards intended for fans of passionate video gamers.
