http://wccftech.com/amd-vega-gpu-called-rx-vega/Okay, so its not everyday that the SVP of our beloved company hints at our humble existence. At the Capsaicin and Cream event a few minutes back, Raja Koduri playfully hinted that while speculation has been high, the Vega GPU will not be called the RX 490 or the RX 580, thanking us for inventing brand names that didn?t exist (we would point Raja to the official AMD nomenclature, but hey, we can take a joke), and revealing the true name of the graphics card in question: the RX Vega.
I don't know what the hell they were thinking with that presentation though... 90 minutes of random VR talk, followed with a "spicy" reveal that Vega shall retail as RX Vega.
Honestly, that makes me really nervous about Vega. With Nvidia announcing the 1080 Ti tonight, I thought for sure they would counter that launch with some big reveal of their own. The fact they did a bunch of hand waiving does not leave me with confidence.
