Computex 2018 - We knew it was coming from rumors from late April, but I've just had an industry source reach out to me moments ago here in Taipei that AMD will be launching their refreshed Vega 20 during Computex 2018.

AMD's new Vega 20 will be made on the new 7nm node fixing most of the mistakes and problems of Vega 10, it will come with up to a whopping 32GB of HBM2. If you were expecting a new Radeon RX Vega graphis card for the consumer market and gamers, think again - Vega 20 with 32GB of HBM2 on 7nm will be for the professional/workstation markets.

My source didn't tell me the price but did say it would be 'expensive' and that it would be announced during AMD's own Computex 2018 press conference which kicks off on Wednesday morning.
