Based on the article it appears amd isn’t going to do it in house. The rumor is that Sapphire, an aib vendor, has picked up the project the way I read it.

I'd be totally okay with something only marginally better than the old Nano that could keep temperatures and noise under control. The Sapphire rumor has me hopeful, they've done quite a few SFF cards in the past.

I'm going to buy this asap.

The VRM arrangement is labelled wrong though. Phase 3 and the top of phase 4 labelled wrong, they should be grouped together to give 6 phase core, 1 phase something and 1 phase HBM2.

The thing I most want to know is if this is ONLY going to be vendor specific or if it's an actual AMD standard that other vendors can use. If it's the latter, we might see full cover waterblocks, but if it's the former we're stuck with GPU only cooling and RAM heatsinks.

Right now the cheapest Vega 56 is 499+ shipping on Newegg. I didn’t spend a lot of time shopping around but having tested the reference 56 for several weeks it’s not a 500 dollar GPU. Good yes but the one I had suffered mightily from inadequate cooling and the performance was all over the place. Drivers have improved certainly but ANY Vega 56 card needs to be near that 399 price point to be compelling. Good used 1080s are showing up under 500 if you are patient. Less power needed and a bit faster as we know.

But it does look awesome and I am hoping somehow we can have availability and reasonable pricing.
