As we all waited for the details on Vega, RTG (Radeon Technology Group) was busy creating a huge update for Radeon GPU users.  The driver update sports a new techonlogy called "Enhanced Sync", which provides a similar function as triple buffering but is built-in to the driver and not game specific.  This is a direct competitor to NVIDIA's "Fast Sync" and has similar if not identitical end user experience.

At Capsaicin SIGGRAPH, AMD showcased what could be achieved with the new Epyc and Vega series of products.  You read that right, it has the powered of 1 PetaFLOPS for virtualization and machine learning.  This proof of concept is based on Inventec's P-Series massively parallel computing platform, and is rack designed to excel in a range of tasks.

During the Siggraph 2017 event, AMD's Chris Hook was interviewed by HardOCP and he provided some insight into why Vega availability is further delayed for release post he launch.  In the interview, Chris Hook mentions that it was necessary to increase available stock for gamers and that we can actually get our hands on them.  With the increased volume on launch, let's hope it's enough that mining enthusiasts don't snatch them all up!

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has finally released the specs for the highly anticipated RX Vega series graphics cards.  The reveal happened at SIGGRAPH industry conference in Loca Angeles this past Monday (July 31st) with all information directly shared with the press attending.  This event was not streamed for whatever reason but videos and slide content was made available to the public.  Below you can see the introduction video that shares some information about RX Vega and what to expect.
