Wccftech is main reason why people get hyped about amd gpus. remember 1.6ghz pol10 ? they claimed it was solid info. we all know reality now. those guys should be banned on every forum. pathetic click bait site.

We had a few green posters here on this very forum throwing around how the 1080 would hit 2.5ghz with ease.. I could link to the posts, but i guess it will only end with a "member callout warning" from the mods, so ill rather not. (some of them have even edited their posts months afterwards to avoid having to admit they were wrong)VRworld said:Stock GTX 1080 is clocked at 1.66 GHz, with Turbo Boost lifting it to 1.73 GHz. Founders Edition includes overclocking-friendly BIOS to raise the clocks to at least 2 GHz, and the presentation showed the chip running at 2.1 GHz. The main limiting factor for the overclocking beyond 2.2 GHz is 225 Watts, which is how much the board can officially pull from the power circuitry: 75 Watts from the motherboard and 150 W through 8-pin PEG connector. However, there are power supply manufacturers which provide more juice per rail, and we’ve seen single 8-pin connector delivering 225 W on its own. Still, partners such as ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Galax, GigaByte, MSI are preparing custom boards with 2-3 8-pin connectors. According to our sources, reaching 2.5 GHz using a liquid cooling setup such as Corsair H115i or EK Waterblocks should not be too much of a hassle.
More hype!
Tread carefully. Do not forget what has happened in the past. A lot of "new this" and "new that" for Polaris simply meant it trades with Hawaii most of the time. Seeing as Vega 10 has equal shaders and ROPs and bandwidth as Fiji, rather than worse as Polaris 10 to Hawaii is, I'm expecting decidedly better than Fiji this time around but my range is not the moon.
Hope, but not hype for me.

Vega 10 will come in several configurations for gaming & professional computing applications. All configurations will feature second generation high bandwidth memory but in various capacities. Radeon Pro Vega 10 will feature the highest configuration of 4096 stream processors and 16GB of memory. The board has a TDP of ~230W and is powered by eight and six pin PCIe power connectors. Cooling wise the Radeon Pro will come in active and passively cooled configurations for servers.
Vega 11 will feature 8GB of HBM2 and is aimed at delivering the highest possible performance in notebook devices as well as replacing Polaris 10 in the midrange on the desktop. The GPU will be faster than Polaris 10 and use less power. Vega 11 will come in mini-ITX SFF and standard PCIe form factors. Most of the GPU’s extra oomph comes from the updated graphics architecture in addition to higher clock speeds compared to the RX 480 and RX 470. Vega 11 based cards will target the same ~$250 mid-range target that’s currently occupied by Polaris 10 and Nvidia’s GTX 1060.
I don't buy that WCCFTech rumor AT ALL. They just made an image based on that patent AMD got earlier this year to make it sound legit and threw some random numbers around. They'll have at least another 4 vega rumor articles all claiming different things so that when Vega comes out, hopefully at least 1 of their wild guesses were close to the mark.
They are just not credible.
They have taken it from this: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/20160085551.pdfIf that image is legitimate, then Vega looks like an enormous architectural change from previous GCN iterations. If WCCFTech straight up fabricated it, then they've really stooped to a new low.
Because it's fun to speculate, assuming the diagram is legitimate, then it looks like the scalar ALUs are no longer only used for special operations and are now general, since the 14 vector ALUs do not divide evenly into 4096, but when you add the two scalar ALUs you get a total of 16 which does. This is assuming that the shader count is accurate as well though.
The diagram (pay no mind to the glitz and glam of the background, mind you) is legitimately from an AMD patent (see Glo's post). There was some discussion on these forums earlier this year that Polaris might have incorporated the patent but we now know that it does not. Whether or not Navi or Vega will have the patent baked into the architecture is anyone's guess.If that image is legitimate, then Vega looks like an enormous architectural change from previous GCN iterations. If WCCFTech straight up fabricated it, then they've really stooped to a new low.

The information about this being whole new architecture not comes from Amd's marketing dept but from link id of an AMD engineer and previous rumors about p10 being 232mmsq were right from such source.
I don't want to hype it . Just said that because Link id of engineer said whole new architecture and this doesn't come from marketing dept.I don't even say it would bring better IPC per CU but if they could bring down transistor count down while having same perf and new features per CU it would be no less than good.But just because it's GFX v9, doesn't mean it will be significantly faster. we have to wait and see. but i guess some people just want to hype it anyway just so later they can call it a fail. happening since 2011.
and this wccftech is one of the most pathetic hyper site. obviously when you shoot everywhere one shot will be on target, doesn't mean you (not you but as in general) are accurate. i don't have problems with other sites like tpu/g3d/vc etc. they are much better than this piece of joke site.

I'm skeptical of such a wide scale change(variable width wavefronts). And AMD haven't made much of a peep either considering what they're claiming with Polaris.

Can you tell what this whole new soc thing means? it's bugging since it appeared.From the looks of it, it will most likely just be another tiny change. They are stuck with GCN for good and R&D is in the ground. When you cant afford more than 1-2 chips per year its bad.
Vega also need FP64 support, since the last chip there was Hawaii.
yeah right, polaris showed this.I never said you are hyping, but also don't get your hopes high whatever the reason is.
