I have few things I can share about upcoming GPUs.
Polaris 10 and 11 are designed to work with HBM and GDDR5(X) GPUs.
There is absolutely no chance for big GPU from AMD with HBM2 in first 2 quarters. Q3 is the earliest where we can look for it.
It will also be Vega10. Vega is completely from the ground up designed to work ONLY with HBM.
About Polaris. It is mix of old and future. It is not groundbreaking in terms of performance of the GPUs, but efficiency.
I do not know at this point however if big Polaris will use HBM1. On he architectural side: it will be pretty interesting to see how it works. There may be few surprises. Especially with minimal frame rates.
Dual FuryX2 is still in plans because there will be no single chip that will be faster than that dual GPU. And it is made from 2 Fury Nano's.
Why would AMD come out with 2 different architectures within a quarter of each other? Why not have all the chips use the same architecture? If they are coming that close together I am not convinced Vega is significantly different than Polaris. Vega is probably just the name of big Polaris.
Should be "there is no actual single chip that will be faster than that dual GPU".
Unless you have a crystal ball of course
At least for GPUs that are coming out this year, the prediction is pretty reliable. Remember, 14/16 nm is a new node, so we won't see the massive die sizes we saw in Fiji and GM200. Thats why the first round of GPUs will likely focus on compute performance and efficiency, then as the process matures we will see the big hot GPUs. Apple will likely choose the moderate sized efficient GPUs for the Mac Pro, like they did with Tahiti.
My guess is that the future Mac Pro GPU, whatever its code name is, will have Fury like performance or maybe slightly faster but in a 125 W to 150 W envelope.
