• AMD released benchmarks of Radeon VII across 25 different games showing performance gains of up to 68% over Vega 64.  (EuroGamer)
  
  Only problem, the one game that got that level of increase was Fallout 76, which doesn't exist.
  
  Also, it seems that the Radeon VII has the full compute capacity of the MI50, 6.9 TFLOPS of double precision.  If you are in the market for an affordable double precision compute card with plenty of RAM, that puts it so far ahead of Nvidia that they might as well not exist: The Nvidia Titan RTX has a peak double precision throughput of just 0.5 TFLOPS.  For single precision Nvidia is more competitive.
  
  An evenly optimised chip would deliver around 1/4 the single precision performance when calculating double precision.  The Radeon VII delivers 1/2 performance, which means it's designed for double precision at the expense of single precision.  The RTX series delivers just 1/32, because it's designed for single precision - games - with no consideration for double precision compute at all.

  That's a lot of nits.
  
  Oh, and it's 4k, HDR, 10 bit, 98% DCI-P3, with DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, and HDMI inputs.  Price is expected to be in "Pro" territory.

  Only one camera?  What is the world coming to?
