AMD Gaming VEGA 10 GPU Set to Arrive Late 2017

     AMD currently has no GPUs ready to replace it's RX 500 series just yet but those whom are looking for a GTX 1080 or 1070 competing card will be able to get their hands on one by the end of Fiscal Quarter 3. It will have 4096 Processing Cores, HBM 2 (which is expected to be in short supply) and a few other technologies heading the new Top of the Line Vega 10 series GPUs. So far AMD has had a pretty good year with it's Ryzen Desktop comeback and it's looking forwards to making another home-run with the new Ryzen Mobile Chips in Asus's new laptop featuring a Ryzen 1700 with 8 Cores running at 65 watts (speeds are expected to be lowered with the chip cut down due to heat and throttling concerns) and a RX 580 mobile chip again most likely cut down.

     The Vega 10 chips are aimed at High-End Graphics Cards which will top prices at $500, if we go by historic standards it could go anywhere from $500 (to compete with gtx 1080) to $649.99 (R9 290X GPUs). The Vegas 11 series is aimed to replace the RX 500 Series however that will come at a much later date (Q4 to Q1 FY2017).

      So far AMD's lineup has been competitive after it taking a break from the CPU industry for a while hopefully it will continue to have these successful comebacks because AMD has had a lot of losses so it can't afford to lose. As much as people have fan wars between Nvidia and AMD, the truth is we can't have a monopoly in a industry with 2 main companies competing together. To an extent, I think the industry should be broken up to smaller companies for more competition but that's a subject for a different post altogether.
