Well the Vega 56 beats it's competition of 1070. The Vega 64 beats the 1080. But the 1080 ti is untouched. Which segments we are comparing matters, because for the mid level graphics cards, Vega 56 stomps Nvidia. But I'm talking top of the line which not everyone is interested in. But at the top level, it seems like AMD is struggling. AMD is better for budget and mid level tiers.
RX500X = RX580 +50Mhz?

Probably another speedbump to fellate OEMs and their refresh cycles since they don't have shekels to tape out 5 Vega dies at once.

Raja's fault.
Rebrandeon needs to end.

AMD was rebaging Pitcarn waaaaaaaaaaaay before RTG was formed.
They don't simply have shekels to tape out 5-6 dies per uArch.
Their current Zen lineup is literally TWO dies.
Carson Myers
Nvidia used to rebrand (sorry """refresh""") their chips every other generation too. They only stopped doing that very recently.

The lowest end MX110/130 parts are still Maxwell.
They all do that, it all exists to fellate OEMs, really.
But that doesn't mean AMD wouldn't tape out like 5 Vega dies for an entire lineup (2 with HBM2, 3 with G6) if they had the money.

I wonder why the first Polaris refresh got a new number (4xx -> 5xx) but the second refresh doesn't (5xx -> 5xxX)...
The first refresh was just a small clock bump, the second refresh will be the same. Same with Ryzen refresh actually.
Tyler Lee
Ryzen Refresh brings lower latencies all around (L3$ and IMC).
This will be a simple clock bump.

Feeling /comfy/ for probably some extra 3 or 4 years.

mfw Intel and Nvidia fags unironically want AMD to die so we can have i3 and GTX XX50 starting at $1,000.
