The AMD RX Vega series is a series of consumer graphics processors produced by AMD. These cards use the Vega architecture, feature HBM2 high-speed memory and are based on the 14nm FinFET architecture. Vega is the first to use the new Graphics Core Next 5th generation and will be succeeded by the Navi architecture in 2018. The lineup was released on the 14th of August 2017. It included the RX Vega 56 and the RX Vega 64, priced at $399 and $499 respectively.
The Vega microarchitecture is AMD's high-end graphics cards line, and is the successor to the R9 300 series enthusiast Fury products. Partial specifications of the architecture and Vega 10 GPU were announced with the Radeon Instinct MI25 in December 2016. AMD later teased details of the Vega architecture which is to target increased instructions per clock, higher clock speeds, and support HBM2.
Vega was originally announced at AMD's CES 2017 presentation on January 5, 2017, alongside the Zen line of CPUs.
