AMD planning a Vega dual-GPU graphics card for 2017

Offering 12 TFLOPs of compute performance

According to the latest report, AMD is apparently working on a dual-GPU graphics card based on its upcoming Vega 10 GPU architecture and it should be coming sometime next year.

Although it will initially be available only for the professional market, where the two GPUs should provide enough performance for content creation as well as deep neural learning and AI tasks.

An early rumors suggested that AMD's upcoming Vega 10 GPU could end up with 64 Compute Units, 24 TFLOPs of 16-bit half-precision compute power, which, if the architecture sticks to 64 Stream Processors per Compute Unit, should add up to a GPU with 4096 Stream Processors.

This means that the dual-GPU could end up with 128 Compute Units, or a total of 8192 Stream Processors as well as 16GB of HBM2 per GPU.

Usually, dual-GPU graphics cards have a lower clock compared to the single-GPU solutions, mostly in order to keep the TDP at check so we suspect this would be the case with this one as well but it will at least gives a clear picture on what to expect when and if AMD releases a dual-GPU consumer Vega 10 GPU based graphics card.

Earlier rumor suggested that the first Vega 10 GPU graphics card could launch later this year but also for professional market.
