In AMD's recent Q1 2017 highlights release, the company said: "AMD's "Vega" GPU architecture is on track to launch in Q2, and has been designed from scratch to address the most data- and visually-intensive next-generation workloads with key architecture advancements including: a differentiated memory subsystem, next-generation geometry pipeline, new compute engine, and a new pixel engine".

Exciting stuff, that's for sure. I'm sure we're going to see something unveiled just before, or during Computex - with a physical launch in the weeks after, sometime in late June.
