AMD’s Radeon VII announcement at CES earlier this month was the major surprise of the event. While the company had previously launched a 7nm Vega-based GPU design, AMD had given every impression that the GPU was intended strictly for the professional market, where it would compete as an AI and machine

After the announcement, rumors began to spread that the 7nm Vega would be a short-lived product, with very limited availability — supposedly at or around 5,000 GPUs. Rumors also suggested that AMD would lose money on every single card, thanks to the GPUs use of expensive 16GB HBM2 buffers. Now, AMD has gone on record to address some of these rumors.
