Radeon VII is equipped with 60 Compute Units, and the performance is improved by 25% with the same power compared with the 1st generation Vega architecture. Luxuriously equipped with 16 GB of HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) to achieve 1 TB / s memory bandwidth.

It is showing an improving performance as compared with "RX Vega 64" adopted by the 1st generation Vega.

Radeon VII is scheduled to be released on February 7, 2019, with a price of 699 dollars (approx. 77,000 yen) and RTX 2080. It is about 700 dollars released on the 7th, and I can feel the commitment to "VII" here as well.
