The Radeon Vega Frontier edition is planned for launch in June 2017 so we can expect more details prior to that at Computex, where AMD is expected to host a keynote on 31st May. In terms of specifications, the card comes with 4096 stream processors and clocked beyond 1550 MHz to deliver 13 TFLOPs of FP32 and 25 TFLOPs of FP16 compute performance. There's also 16 GB of HBM2 VRAM which comes in two stacks (8 GB per stack). The graphics card has a total rated bandwidth of 480 GB/s which is lower than 512 GB/s on Fiji. It also features pixel fill rate of 90 GPixels/s.

We’ve spent years preparing to enable this next generation of data scientists, immersion engineers, and product designers, by designing a formidable new GPU architecture – Vega – from the ground up, and by heavily investing in machine learning, high performance graphics for content creators, and open software solutions to deliver value to a broad pioneer ecosystem. Today our vision for delivering the future of data science and advanced visualization materializes with the release of the Radeon™ Vega Frontier Edition graphics cardswhich will be shipping in late June. via AMD

AMD's Senior Vice President and Chief Architect at RTG, Raja Koduri, stated in a slide that the Radeon Vega Frontier edition has four times more memory than their Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card that released back in 2015. The graphics card featured 4 GB of HBM1 VRAM compared to 16 GB HBM2 on the upcoming Vega card. The new card also packs 3 times more half-precision and 1.5 times more single-precision performance.
